Helen Bennett

"Miss Missouri of 1937" and a New York model voted "one of the five women in America with the best-dressed hair" by stylist Monsieur Leon (the other four were Claudette Colbert, Kathryn Grayson, Gertrude Lawrence, and Norma Shearer), blonde Helen Bennett appeared on Broadway in Dream Girl prior to playing "Madame Mysterious" in the 1945 Universal serial The Royal Mounted Rides Again. Bennett did two additional serials, Lost City of the Jungle and The Scarlet Horseman (both 1946), but played the female lead in neither. She later worked mostly on the radio but returned to the screen twice, in On the Threshold of Space (1956) and Return to Peyton Place (1961). Bennett was a founding member of the Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters.
