Jean Harlow was born on March 3, 1911.
To mark what would have been her 100th birthday, we remember this original sex symbol of American film.
Called the “Blonde Bombshell” or “Platinum Blonde” (due to her platinum blonde hair), Harlow was ranked as one of the greatest movie stars of all time by the American Film Institute.
Harlow starred in several films, mainly designed to showcase her magnetic sex appeal and strong screen presence, before making the transition to more developed roles and achieving massive fame under contract to MGM. Harlow’s enormous popularity and “laughing vamp ” image were in distinct contrast to her personal life, which was marred by disappointment, tragedy, and ultimately her sudden death from renal failure at age 26.
In this conversation, we recall the legend and life of Jean Harlow with Harlow fans and authors Darrel Rooney and Mark Vieira.
