EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, taken in 1942, showcases the glamour and allure of American film star Joan Bennett as she poses seductively for a promotional shot to publicize her latest picture. Dressed in an elegant gown, Bennett reclines on a plush chair, her smoldering gaze fixed on the camera. She holds a cigarette in a long, elegant holder, the smoke curling up around her face, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. The image exudes a sense of old Hollywood glamour, with Bennett's sleek, waved hair styled in the fashion of the time, adorned with star hair slides. The photograph captures the essence of the femme fatale archetype, a seductive and alluring figure that was popular in films during the 1940s. Despite the glamorous image, it is important to note that the promotion of smoking in films during this era contributed to the normalization of tobacco use, which we now know to be harmful to health. This photograph serves as a reminder of the complex and often contradictory nature of Hollywood history, where glamour and allure were intertwined with the promotion of unhealthy habits. Joan Bennett was a talented and versatile actress, known for her roles in films such as "Susan and God" and "The Woman in the Window." Her career spanned several decades, and she remained a popular and beloved figure in Hollywood until her retirement in the 1970s." This photograph, taken from the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the glamour and allure of old Hollywood, as well as the complexities and contradictions of film history.
