I was watching the Travel Channel's "Mysteries at the Museum" last night (one of my favorites). There was a segment on Max Factor's development of "Pan-cake" makeup, a big advance over the makeup used in black and white movies. Although there must have been some color movies prior to this, the movie "Vogues of 1938" (released in 1937) was the first movie where the actresses used the new "pancake" - and the makeup became a sensation with women everywhere, apparently a big improvement over previous makeup. A poster for the film was shown, and I noticed Joan Bennett on the poster.
