The origins of Joan Bennett’s explosive affair with her agent, Jennings Lang, began with an apartment key. Listen to episode 5 of LoveIsACrime now:
. In this week’s episode, “The Other Man,” we meet Lang, who would be shot by Wanger in the MCA parking lot in December 1951. Bennett and Lang’s dalliances led to that forgotten Hollywood scandal, and helped inspire the 1961 Academy Awards’ best-picture winner. “I think that’s where Billy Wilder got the idea for the movie with Jack Lemmon, calledShirley MacLaine as Fran Kubelik and Jack Lemmon as C.C.
Bennett and Lang’s passion wouldn’t come without its consequences. There was the infamous shooting, leading to rampant rumors about which body part of Lang’s was hit. While Wanger and Bennett suffered professionally, Lang capitalized on the controversy and eventually became a vice president of Universal Studios—Wanger’s home in his heyday.
“There were three people involved in what happened in that parking lot in December 1951,” Hope explained. “Jennings Lang took the bullet, but his life and career continued otherwise unscathed, and he went on to have the greatest fortune of them all, becoming the head of a major studio. As we’ll see, my grandfather mounted a major comeback, but it wouldn’t last long.” Bennett’s fate was in similar limbo.
