Constance Bennett

Constance Bennett

Born in 1904, Constance was the first of the Bennett sisters to enter films, her initial appearance was in 1916. She then went on to make another 53 films and was in a fair number of television programs. Considered to be the most attractive of the Bennetts', she she may best be remembered today as the lead actress opposite Cary Grant in 1937's Topper. She also shines in 1932's What Price Hollwwood. Her 1931 contract with Warner Brothers, $300,000 for 2 films, made her the highest-paid film player up to that time and reportedly inspired tax legislation aimed at the film industry. Dying unexpectedly at age 60, she is buried in Arlington National Cemetery in recognition of her work for the Berlin Airlift.

Constance Bennett- What do you think? Allure?
