As the movie offers dwindled after the scandal, Bennett continued touring in stage successes, such as "Susan and God", "Once More, with Feeling", "The Pleasure of His Company" and "Never Too Late". Her next TV appearance was in the role of Bettina Blane in an episode of "General Electric Theater" in 1954. Other roles included Honora in "Climax!" (1955) and Vickie Maxwell in "Playhouse 90" (1957). In 1958, she appeared as the mother in the short-lived television comedy/drama "Too Young to Go Steady" to teenagers played by Brigid Bazlen and Martin Huston.
