During the early days of RKO, the studio had a few notable leading ladies under contract that were frequently cast in romantic tearjerkers. One of these pre-code beauties was Constance Bennett. She made films where she played women from the wrong side of the tracks who fell for men she couldn’t have. The formula clicked with moviegoers, and the actress did these parts with dramatic skill and style. After she left RKO, her roles changed, due to the production code and material that was now being allowed on screen. But she remained popular for many years.
