A former singer from Chicago, blonde Constance Bergen saw her greatest film opportunity slip away when her scenes as Humphrey Bogart's moll in The Petrified Forrest (1936) ended up on the proverbial cutting room floor. Instead, she graced Grade-Z Westerns with Guinn "Big Boy" Williams; the no-budget Stage and Screen serial The Black Coin in 1936 (she looks positively bewildered throughout); and had a chorus assignment or two. Bergen is perhaps best remembered for her appearances as Charley Chase's leading lady in four short subject comedies: Okay Toots!, Poker at Eight, Southern Exposure, and The Four-Star Boarder (all 1935). She died in 1979 at the age of 67.
