Joan Bennett saw her career fizzle in the early ‘50s. Maybe it’s because she was getting older in a town that has never prized experience over beauty in its female stars. Or maybe it’s because she watched her husband shoot her agent in the groin outside the Beverly Hills police station a few weeks before Christmas.
