I recently found a fabulous lobby card for "This Thing Called Love" the 1929 comeback picture for the soon to be legendary Constance Bennett. Ms Bennett had appeared in several memorable pictures during the early and middle 1920s and while she wasn't exactly a star at that time, she had come to be regarded as a popular and talented actress. Bennett retired from the motion picture business in 1926 after she wed wealthy Philip Morgan Plant. The Marriage was not a happy one, and the couple divorced in 1929, Constance immediately returned to
Hollywood. Her return was well publicized, and all of her pictures did well. By 1932 Connie was the highest paid actress in Hollywood.
