Movie Legends - Joan Bennett

[gothicshadowstgg]

Miss Bennett sure was a beautiful woman. She is greatly missed.

[Gonzoidzz]

Was most gorgeous in the mid 1940's.

[TheKimdunn]

I always thought Joan was the more beautiful of the two sisters...although I like Constance in films....and also the better actor.Beautiful photos.

[windstorm1000]

there's kind of melancoly character about her, even when young.

[erzbet07]

Ah, Basilnelson! What a magnificent tribute to the ultra glamourous Miss Bennett! I've only seen a few of her films but enjoyed her performances, especially as the gorgeous brunette femme fatales in TRADE WINDS with F. March and WOMAN IN THE WINDOW with Edward J. Robinson. She could really smolder!

Miss Bennett was a petite woman, and oh, so gracious when she came to her first DARK SHADOWS FESTIVAL many years ago! She brought down the house!

Your video artistry remains unsurpassed!

[basilnelson]

@erzbet07 Thank you for your comments! For more Joan Bennett check out my recent second tribute MOVIE LEGENDS - JOAN BENNETT (REPRISE).

[DonnaWandrey]

Once on the Dark Shadows set I worked up enough courage to tell Joan that I thought her very best work was in the 1940's film Scarlet Street! I had loved that film for years and she made it great! Joan smiled and replied back "Oh then I take it you don't like my work here on this show"! I felt trapped and I nervously started to say "Oh no that's not what I meant" but she patted slowly on the shoulder and said she knew what I meant and thanked me!

@DonnaWandrey Thank you for the memories of the beautiful Joan Bennett.

[DonnaWandrey]

@basilnelson Your very welcome!

[saphopoem]

@DonnaWandrey Wow how lucky you were to meet Joan, thanks for sharing your story.

[sbergman27]

Joan Bennett, in my opinion, became more beautiful as she got older. I enjoyed this video. But it always stopped short of showing her radiance as Elizabeth Collins-Stoddard. I'd like to have seen a little practical, brainy, loving, caring Liz in the video.

[goldragons]

That was wonderfully and so tastefully done. Thank you. always wanted to know who she really had been.

[chargalant]

I had No idea that she was suxh a classic beauty!

[JaminHell]

why do beautiful have to grow and die, damn it. i swear i am going to invent a immortal pill...she is too beautiful to pass away.

[zoyclem]

I tend to favor her sister, Constance, but Joan was quite lovely, and a wonderful actress. You don't see women like this in film very often these days. As usual, you've provided an excellent tribute.

[Bubbles1779]

thats my great aunt.. shee looks like me.

[neonwind]

Gorgeous!

[TheVYV]

She was definitely the most beautiful woman of all times, and I must admit that, even if I'M a woman, I like to look at her pictures because she was so beautiful and had something mysterious and sofisticated, I have lots of her wallpapers

[gladys8it]

Joan Bennett was beautiful as both a blond and a brunette, but I must confess I think her more beautiful as a brunette.

[antiann52]

She looked like a totally different person as a blonde. I guess if she'd never played on Dark Shadows, I would never have recognized her at all.

[cf596]

Joan Bennett's Jamaican grandfather was one of the first all-black regiments to fight in the Union Army during the American Civil War.

[niceguy63073]

She was in 2 great Film Noir movies, "Woman in the Window" and "Scarlet Street".

[valjazz]

She was Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

[Radicalreels]

The Best! She was indeed a Dream! Great editting!

[basilnelson]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[ifmaribel]

she´s beautiful woman, and was also a fine actress.

I do preffer her as a brunette, but she always has that incredible refined look, she is...a lady!

[vt32943]

Joan Bennett rose to fame during the Golden Age of Hollywood but in 1951 a scandal due to romantic rivalry ended her movie career. Joan worked in television in the 60s and had sucess on a soap opera along with a few other productions. She was a talented actress with a lovely screen presence.

Fondly, Hedda

[checkoutmyprofile]

Today is her Birthday:)

[650142]

I think she looked like Hedy La Mar when she turned brunet. Much more attractive than as a blond. The movie was Trade Winds when she did this asounding thing. The audiance gasped.

[TheVYV]

MY IDOL! so smart, clever and beautiful...absolutly fascinating

[hoodriver77]

Yes, Joan grabs the Bennet spotlight once again...a friend of mine saw her in an elevator in Los Angeles...and said she was picture perfect...this just a few years ago.

[Cavic1980]

Joan died in 1990...so it was quite a few years ago then.

[tallulahdarling]

Yes she was so lovely. A very stylish lady.

[globehunter2]
