Make Me Crave More Hey-Hey

Ok I am so stealing this! Another fabulous find Donna!!!
"Wishing you loads and load of loveliness"--can you imagine ANY actress today having this much grace and elegance, and an enslaved starlet? I can't see this often enough.
--Eve (who is lost without her Glow Base)
Man, we're never going to have stars like that again. Not only is she not afraid to do all that, but she called her son her "master." Now adays you get hairy armpitted, greasy haired twigs who treat their sons like crap.
Either I need to get famous to bring back some feminine stuff to Hollywood or find a working time machine.
Saint Constance of Bennett? . . . What about Blessed Loretta Young?
One thing keeps me coming back to this - how does she NOT get the mask stuff into her hair? Every time I've applied a mask of any type I always end up getting it into my hairline and absolutely have to wash my hair afterwards.
Plus being in a tub without a shower cap on to keep her hair dry? I could never do that. My hair would get wet instantly.
Jim-Jim: I loatheLoretta Young.
Jami: I'm pretty adept at mask application, but remember: this is why she's Saint Constance, and we're not.
A REAL beauty. I plan to watch this over and over again. For some reason, somewhere in the back of my mind I'm hearing the song "I Enjoy Being A Girl", along with Ms. Joan Crawford saying, "I did one of these a long time ago, but everyone's against me, so they won't show it!"
Because Connie is a hardworking whore, she arises promptly at 7:30 still in last night's full make-up and wonders where the trick she dragged home is. And her TV. And her purse. And her coke.
Goddamit.
I loathe Loretta Young, too! It's like we're soul sisters!
Did you know Saint Connie was the first (I think - Eve can corroborate) to get a million dollar divorce settlement? Goddess!
We loathe Loretta because she was parading around being holy meanwhile, she was being a 'ho. And she made her child pretend she was adopted! Terrible.
Loretta Young funded the building of a new church in the L.A. archdiocese every time she had an affair. You have to admire someone who sponsored more construction than Cardinal Cushing.
Apparently a healthy dislike of the late Loretta Young is virtually a prerequisite of fabulousness.
They used to show this clip at the midnight movie house in Philadelphia sometimes, right before Rocky Horror. We were immediately enslaved by the Bennett magic.
Minor self-plug here: I have a book of collected articles coming out later this year, and one of them has an extended interview with Her Lord and Master, Constance Bennett's son. He explains this short, and told me he still has some of the beauty products!
I dropped leaden hints that I would do ANYTHING for some Constance Bennett Glow base, but to no avail . . .
Oh my god, I can't imagine seeing that on the big screen!
Eve, you KNOW I'll be doing major plugs for your book once it's out. In fact, I should do a post on you anyway. Why not?
I doubt Connie used any of her own products - really. She probably had a custom blend by Max Factor.
Anita Page once told me that when she and Constance were working together on The Easiest Way (1931), Connie came up to 21-year-old Anita, scraped her hand down her face and demanded, "what base do you use?" Anita said, "I don't use any," and Connie snorted and stalked away.
Her son laughed when I told him this and said, "yes, that sounds like her."
