Joan Bennett's quotes
- I don't think much of most of the films I made, but being a movie star was something I liked very much.
- [about the attention she was getting as a cast member of the cult series Dark Shadows (1966)] I feel positively like a Beatle.
- My film career faded. A man can go on playing certain roles 'til he's sixty. But not a woman.[in 1984] The "Golden Age" is gone, and with it most of the people of great taste. It doesn't seem to be any fun any more.
- [on Hollywood attorney Jerry Giesler] Whenever trouble arose in Hollywood, the first cry for legal help was, "Get Giesler!".
- Meryl Streep can act Polish or English or Australian but she sure as hell can't act blonde.
- [on femme fatales] Let people hiss. They'll still be sore at the bad woman long after they've forgotten the nice girl who got the man.
- [on femme fatales] Few people remember good women. They don't forget bad girls.
- [1946] There are hundreds of glamor girls in Hollywood, but actresses who are willing to let down their hair, are always in demand. Getting a salty role is like finding an old friend. One feels the significance of the character.
- [on sister Constance Bennett] Of her fifty-five films, there were only five she considered worthy and she made no pretenses otherwise: Common Clay (1930), The Common Law (1931), What Price Hollywood? (1932), Our Betters (1933), and Topper (1937).
- Had it not been for my new darker image, I'd never have been considered for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939).
