[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 441997, member: 7"] Joan Bennett is one of those Old Hollywood actresses that I've always had a feeling that I would like if I just watched more of her work. Born into a show business family, her father, Richard Bennett, her mother, Adrienne Morrison, her older sister, Constance, and her younger sister, Barbara, were all actors. Joan started in 1916 when she was just six years old, and went on the a long, varied, and quite successful career in film and on television. Her career was most active during the 1930s and 1940s, and she was such a box office draw that she was even a top contender for Scarlett O'Hara in the screen version of GONE WITH THE WIND. So strongly was she considered by producer David O. Selznick for the part, that she was tested multiple times, and was apparently still in the running as late as Thanksgiving 1938, just weeks before Vivien Leigh was hired. As her screen career slowed down in the 1950s, she moved over to television, and later starred on the daytime soap opera, DARK SHADOWS, from 1966 to 1971. Any Joan Bennett fans out there?
