My Take
Constance Bennett reminds me how much depth lies in early film history. A New York-born star who lit up Hollywood in the 1920s and 30s, she was, for a time, the highest-paid actress in the business, which tells you how brightly she burned. She excelled at playing society women, gliding from early melodrama into late-thirties comedy with real versatility, and she worked across stage, film, radio, television, and even production. Few people remember her name today, but pioneers like her built the ground that later stars walked on. I think she deserves a quiet salute, and she has mine.
