EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the allure and audacity of American actress Constance Bennett in her role as an artists' model in the 1931 film, "The Common Law." In this daring scene, Bennett is seen in an advanced state of undress, posing seductively for a sketch. The image, which has been labeled as risqué and restricted for exhibition to adults only, adds to Bennett's reputation as a fearless and provocative actress who was not afraid to push the boundaries of Hollywood's moral code. At the height of her career in the 1930s, Bennett made a name for herself playing the tarnished lady in a series of films that challenged societal norms and showcased her striking beauty and charisma. In "The Common Law," Bennett plays a character who uses her sexuality to manipulate and control those around her, a role that required her to reveal more than just her acting talents. The photograph, taken during the filming of this provocative scene, captures Bennett in a moment of raw vulnerability and sensuality. Her back is turned to the camera, but her confident and seductive pose leaves little to the imagination. The sketch in the background, with its bold strokes and suggestive lines, adds to the overall eroticism of the image. Despite the controversy surrounding the film and this particular scene, Bennett's performance was critically acclaimed, and she went on to enjoy a successful career in Hollywood for decades to come. This photograph, a rare glimpse into the making of a Hollywood legend, remains a testament to Bennett's fearless and unapologetic approach to her craft.
