Constance Bennett Documentary - Hollywood Walk of Fame

Constance Campbell Bennett was an American stage, film, radio and television actress and producer. She was a major Hollywood star during the 1920s and 1930s and for a time during the early 1930s, she was the highest-paid actress in Hollywood. Bennett frequently played society women, focusing on melodramas in the early 1930s and then taking more comedic roles in the late 1930s and 1940s. She is best remembered for her leading roles in What Price Hollywood? , Bed of Roses , Topper , Topper Takes a Trip , and had a prominent supporting role in Greta Garbo's last film, Two-Faced Woman .
She was the daughter of stage and silent film star Richard Bennett, and the older sister of actress Joan Bennett.
Early life
Constance Bennett was born in New York City, the eldest of three daughters of actress Adrienne Morrison and actor Richard Bennett. Her younger sisters were actresses Joan Bennett and Barbara Bennett. All three girls attended the Chapin School in New York.
Career
After some time spent in a convent, Bennett entered acting. Independent, cultured, ironic and outspoken, Constance, the first Bennett sister to enter motion pictures, appeared in New York-produced silent movies before a meeting with Samuel Goldwyn led to her Hollywood debut in Cytherea . She abandoned a burgeoning career in silents for marriage to Philip Plant in 1925, but resumed her film career after their divorce. With the advent of talking pictures, and with her delicate blonde features and glamor, she quickly revived her career.

Buried in Arlington National cemetery? for her service in entertaining WW2 troops still occupying Europe? I wonder if any other entertainers with this pedigree, are buried there?

I never liked her, always preferred her sister Joan. She was very well known for her diva behaviour on set. Lana Turner didn’t like her at all‼️ I love Lana
