| Actress Joan Bennett by George Hurrell, circa 1932 |
‘There are hundreds of glamor girls in Hollywood, but actresses who are willing to let down their hair, are always in demand. Getting a salty role is like finding an old friend. One feels the significance of the character’.
‘I turned my hair dark and have received much better parts ever since’.
‘For ten years, with the exception of Little Women (1933) and Private Worlds (1935), I'd played the insipid blonde ingenue, short on brains, long on bank accounts, the victim in a love triangle, and, for some reason that now escapes me, I was often English. Suddenly, I found myself filming Trade Winds (1938) in a dark wig, and with eyes at half-mast and voice lowered an octave, I positively smoldered all over the South Seas’.
‘Let people hiss. They'll still be sore at the bad woman long after they've forgotten the nice girl who got the man’.
‘Few people remember good women. They don't forget bad girls’.
