Dear Anmarie Gatti,
Your first sentence turned me completly off from reading further. . . . .
“Constance Bennett was born Constance Campbell Bennett on October 22, 1904 in New York City. Her elder sister, actress Joan Bennett, was born Joan Geraldine Bennett on February 27, 1910 in Palisades, New Jersey.”
Please look it over and correct!
Constance born 1904
Joan born 1910
“Her elder sister, actress Joan Bennett,”
1904 comes before 1910, therefore Joan is NOT the elder sister. . . . . duh!
Proofread much?
Thanks for catching that—I appreciate it! You’re absolutely right. I accidentally referred to Joan as the elder sister, and I’ve now corrected the article. Thanks for helping me keep the information accurate.
