New Joan Bennett Autobiography
« on: January 21, 2005, 03:38:01 AM »
I did a search, but Couldn't find any topics about this, so thought I'd post because some people might not know about it.  I saw it at Barnes and Noble. It focuses on Joan and sister Constance.  I read some chapters on the last years of her life. Was surprised to find out that one-time controversial talk show host/big mouth Morton Downey Jr. was Joan's nephew. It looks very interesting and includes candid and revealing moments like when, where, and how she died. She really did enjoy working on Dark Shadows, but is quoted as saying that one of the actors "thinks he's Henry Fonda", but he can't act. Alexandra Moltke, Nancy Barrett, KLS, and Marie Wallace provide memories. She also had falling out with one of her daughters. She did not enjoy working on "Suspiria", but did it to please hubby and free trip to Italy.
