CONSTANCE BENNETT | SALLY, IRENE AND MARY (1925) Early MGM studio portrait

Constance Bennett enjoyed her first year of major stardom by appearing in eight films in 1925, all for different studios. The highlight was being cast at the newly formed Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the film which became the prototype for the storyline of three girls and the different paths they take. It became Ziegfeld Girl in 1941 and How to Marry a Millionaire in 1953, with many a variant between and after. Sally O’Neil and Joan Crawford made the trio with her.
