She is best known for her appearances in the films O Lucky Man! and Who Killed Teddy Bear, and for being the first wife of both actor Keir Dullea and later, actor Malcolm McDowell.
Bennett was born Muriel Eisenberg on February 19, 1935 in Woodmere, New York. She attended Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, graduating in 1958.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Bennett, now credited as "Margot Bennett" or "Margo Bennett", pursued an acting career, primarily in New York City, where she studied with Lee Strasberg. She appeared in the 1958 off-Broadway production of The Crucible, an Equity Library Theatre production of Joan of Lorraine, and in several television drama series, including Armstrong Circle Theatre, The Doctors and the Nurses, and an adaptation of Gustave Flaubert's short story, "A Simple Heart," on CBS Repertoire Workshop.
