Enid Bennett

Dari Wikipedia Lahir di York, Australia Barat, Enid Bennett memulai karir akting filmnya pada tahun 1916, pertama kali membintangi Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford, dengan dua film lainnya pada tahun yang sama. Dia menikah dengan sutradara Amerika Sidney Franklin di awal karirnya, tetapi mereka bercerai tak lama kemudian. Pada tahun 1917, ia membintangi lima film, yang paling penting adalah The Little Brother dengan lawan main William Garwood. Film itu membawanya ke perhatian studio dan menyebabkan semakin banyak peran akting. Dari tahun 1918 hingga 1921, ia membintangi dua puluh tiga film, menjadi terkenal dan dikenal sebagai seorang aktris. Pada tahun 1918 ia menikah dengan sutradara Fred Niblo, yang kemudian menyutradarai Ben Hur versi film kedua. Pada tahun 1922, ia hanya membintangi tiga film, tetapi salah satunya menjadi perannya yang paling terkenal, pemeran utama wanita "Maid Marian" di Robin Hood bersama Douglas Fairbanks. Dari tahun 1923 hingga 1928, ia hanya membintangi sepuluh film, karena kariernya melambat. Dia sudah menjadi seorang ibu pada saat itu, karena dia dan Niblo akhirnya memiliki tiga anak bersama. Pada tahun 1929, saudara laki-lakinya Alexander Bennett menikah dengan aktris Frances Lee. Pernikahan tersebut dihadiri oleh beberapa nama besar Hollywood, termasuk Gloria Swanson dan Greta Garbo. Tahun itu Bennett hanya membintangi satu film, Good Medicine, berlawanan dengan Edward Everett Horton. Saudara perempuan Bennett, Marjorie (1896-1982) dan Catherine (1901–1978) juga merupakan aktris film Hollywood. Dia melakukan transisi semi-sukses ke film bersuara, tetapi peran yang dia terima lebih sedikit. Dari tahun 1931 hingga 1941 ia hanya berperan dalam tujuh film, yang terakhir tidak diberi kredit. Dia pensiun setelah tahun 1941, akhirnya tinggal bersama keluarganya di Malibu, California, di mana dia meninggal pada tahun 1969 karena serangan jantung, pada usia 75 tahun.

From Wikipedia Born in York, Western Australia, Enid Bennett started her film acting career in 1916, first starring in Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford, with two other films that same year. She married American director Sidney Franklin early in her career, but they were divorced shortly thereafter. In 1917, she starred in five films, the most important of which was The Little Brother opposite William Garwood. That film brought her to the attention of studios and led to an increasing number of acting roles. From 1918 to 1921, she starred in twenty-three films, becoming well known and recognizable as an actress. In 1918 she married director Fred Niblo, who later directed the second film version of Ben Hur. In 1922, she starred in only three films, but one of those became her most famous role, the female lead of "Maid Marian" in Robin Hood with Douglas Fairbanks. From 1923 to 1928, she starred in only ten films, as her career had slowed to a crawl. She was a mother by that time, as she and Niblo eventually had three children together. In 1929, her brother Alexander Bennett married actress Frances Lee. The wedding was attended by some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Gloria Swanson and Greta Garbo. That year Bennett starred in only one film, Good Medicine, opposite Edward Everett Horton. Bennett's sisters Marjorie (1896-1982) and Catherine (1901–1978) were also Hollywood film actresses. She made a semi-successful transition to sound films, but saw fewer roles come her way. From 1931 to 1941 she had roles in only seven films, the last of which was uncredited. She retired after 1941, eventually residing with her family in Malibu, California, where she died in 1969 from a heart attack, aged 75.
