Biography

Constance Binney
Last Updated: Wednesday, August 12, 2009

A New York-born brunette, Constance Binney was a pretty if unexciting leading lady of Realart (Paramount) potboilers in the late 1910s: Erstwhile Susan (1918), The Stolen Kiss (1920), and others.

She appeared with her older sister Faire in Maurice Tourneur's The Sporting Life (1918) and was John Barrymore's leading lady in The Test of Honor (1919). Yet true stardom proved elusive and Binney left the screen in 1923.
