Description:
Interesting review of the Bennett acting dynasty--which will mean nothing to anyone under 30. Stage actor Richard Bennett and his acting wife begat acting daughters Constance, Joan, and Barbara. Modern audiences probably best remember Joan for her stint on TV's Dark Shadows and as the mother in the original filmed version of Father of the Bride. On the whole, the family is colorful to say the least. I mean one of the Bennett sisters was Morton Downey Jr's mother and Joan's husband Walter Wanger shot Joan's boyfriend in the groin. He essentially got away with it. Enjoyable light reading.
