Happy Birthday Ms. Bennet!
My earliest memories of her is when she acted with Jonathan Frid on “Dark Shadows”. Who didn’t love that show?
Theodore Sofianides
Joan Bennet is a fave of mine, and two of her movies that came very dear to my mind todays is Fritz Lang’s Man Hunt (1941) and Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977).
Dark Shadows was my favorite. I remember running home from school to watch it. When the show started showing in color, we had to go to the neighbor’s house to watch it.
I’ve always adored Joan Bennett. I still watch her every night in Dark Shadows. I feel as if I knew her. She’s such an inspiration to me and to my 77 year old mother. We watch Dark Shadows with lights turned off and our lanterns lit. I so wish I could’ve met her. I hope it’s possible for me to visit her grave and bring flowers. May you rest in peace, Ms Joan Gearldine Bennett. I love you. Rena’ Newcomb.
