Joan Bennett

Joan Geraldine Bennett (27 Februari 1910 – 7 Desember 1990) adalah seorang aktris panggung, film, dan televisi Amerika. Selain berakting di atas panggung, Bennett tampil di lebih dari 70 film dari era film bisu hingga era suara. Dia mungkin paling dikenang karena peran film noir femme fatale dalam film sutradara Fritz Lang seperti The Woman in the Window (1944) dan Scarlet Street (1945). Bennett memiliki tiga fase berbeda dalam kariernya yang panjang dan sukses, pertama sebagai wanita berambut pirang yang menawan, kemudian sebagai wanita berambut cokelat yang sensual (dengan penampilan yang sering dibandingkan dengan majalah film Hedy Lamarr), dan akhirnya sebagai sosok istri/ibu yang ramah. Pada tahun 1951, karir layar Bennett dirusak oleh skandal setelah suami ketiganya, produser film Walter Wanger, menembak dan melukai agennya Jennings Lang. Wanger curiga Lang dan Bennett berselingkuh, tuduhan yang dibantahnya dengan tegas. Pada tahun 1960-an, ia mencapai kesuksesan karena perannya sebagai Elizabeth Collins Stoddard di Dark Shadows TV, yang mana ia menerima nominasi Emmy. Untuk peran film terakhirnya, sebagai Madame Blanc di Suspiria (1977), dia menerima nominasi Saturn Award.

Joan Geraldine Bennett (February 27, 1910 – December 7, 1990) was an American stage, film and television actress. Besides acting on the stage, Bennett appeared in more than 70 motion pictures from the era of silent movies well into the sound era. She is possibly best-remembered for her film noir femme fatale roles in director Fritz Lang's movies such as The Woman in the Window (1944) and Scarlet Street (1945). Bennett had three distinct phases to her long and successful career, first as a winsome blonde ingenue, then as a sensuous brunette femme fatale (with looks that movie magazines often compared to those of Hedy Lamarr), and finally as a warmhearted wife/mother figure. In 1951, Bennett's screen career was marred by scandal after her third husband, film producer Walter Wanger, shot and injured her agent Jennings Lang. Wanger suspected that Lang and Bennett were having an affair, a charge which she adamantly denied. In the 1960s, she achieved success for her portrayal of Elizabeth Collins Stoddard on TV's Dark Shadows, for which she received an Emmy nomination. For her final movie role, as Madame Blanc in Suspiria (1977), she received a Saturn Award nomination.
