Title: Bennett Question
Post by: Patti Feinberg on December 18, 2016, 04:45:24 PM

Of course, there's Joan.

I learned of Constance Bennett from here.

I *believe you've also mentioned a Bennett Brother/actor. I'm scrolling through tomorrow's movies (because, AGAIN, they're showing 'Supernatural' eps which they just showed less than a week ago???).

I see "Dark Passage", which I've seen before, the info says Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, and Bruce Bennett.

Is this the brother??

Hi Patti, Bruce Bennett was born Herman Brix--no relation to Joan.

Joan's Dad, Richard, was an actor (I think he did some silent films).  I believe her other siblings were sisters.

Best, G.

Joan had two sisters. One was Constance. The other sister was named Barbara. She did a bit of acting in early talkies but did not have the career longevity of her sisters. She had several children. One was the infamous talk show host Morton Downey, Jr.
