[Constance Bennett] never tired of acting, said Peter Plant. “She liked it, she enjoyed it, and she worked very hard at it. When she was making a film, she would really be busy preparing for the next day’s scenes. I would visit her for half an hour, and then she would go back to her script. She had what her father had, a photographic memory. Richard Bennett, I understand, could read a play through once, and he knew the whole play, and everyone else’s cues. I have the good fortune to have inherited that, and it’s made many people think me more intelligent than I am.
