Poor Jean. She had such fab style though! What I would do to get my hands on those silk dresses....
The camera loved her. Thanks Northern for posting those beautiful pictures. I love this one (Even though I love them all).
You're welcome!Originally Posted by Reecy
That same picture is my favorite, by the way.
Great pictures. I love your avatar nice the way you have your hair laying.
Thanks for posting. You always post great pictures where do you find them?
Thank you very much!
I have my secrets with picturesBut you can find with Google image search a lot of things, actually other things that pictures too. I have found great sites through that and those sites didn't show up when I did the normal search.

Northern Lights, this was a marvelous collection of photos. I've seen most of them but some I have not, and it was a wonderful treat to see them all together, one after another. We Harlow fans here I'm sure had a fantastic time seeing each and every pic. Absolutely fantastic and thank you for taking the time to assemble it all. You're an angel!
Thank you so much!
WOW Northern Lights!!!
Thanks for posting all of those lovely images.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much!
I want to say a big thank you as well! Great pictures.
I think Jean sizzled with Gable. I love seeing them in pictures together...

Once we consider how tiny Jean actually was, this still from Saratoga comes off as particularly humorous:

I just want to say a big "thank you" to my dear mom who passed away recently, because she's the one who first introduced me to Jean Harlow. She was a big movie fan bless her heart, and when I was a kid, she saw the Irving Schulman bio for sale at a Thrifty Drugstore in L.A. near our home. (and yes, we all have now realized what a crock that thing is), Regardless, I remember being amazed at the front cover (I still have the paperback from 1964), and was utterly fascinated by this lovely blonde creature. From that time on was when my fascination with Harlow began. I'm sure many of us have been introduced to actors and performers by our parents, and this love stays with us forever. So, I just want to salute my mom and Jean, as they will be linked in my mind for all my days. My mom was also along for the ride at Forest Lawn when I managed to beg my way in to see Jean's beautiful final resting place. Mom and dad stayed and watched as I walked down the long corridor and I excitedly told them later what it was like, that I could see "Our Baby" written in the marble. Wow, what a memory. Right now, I'm looking for the 1938 issue of Modern Romances featuring the interview by "Mother Jean" entitled, "Is Jean Harlow Dead? Mother Says NO!" I've read a few excerpts but would love to read the whole thing. Maybe I'll get lucky and one will pop up on ebay

I wanted to post this before I lost track of it. Its from a celeb gossip site that does a lot of blind items. At the end of the year he reveals a few and he just posted this tonight:
I like to have one old Hollywood item every six months and I have been saving this one to sneak in under the reveal deadline.
This actress was definitely A list back in the day. And by back in the day, I mean prior to television. She was all movies. Our actress came from a very unstable background with perhaps the queen of stage moms as her mother. Our actress was never nominated for any of the big awards but starred in lots of movies. She was in and out of marriages frequently and one of the ways she got out of one was by killing her husband. Oh, not the husband everyone knows was found dead by a gunshot. Nope. He is considered her second husband, but in reality was her third. The second husband was a guy in the mafia who had seen our actress on screen and loved her. He wined her dined her and romanced her. Our actress loved it and eloped with him after just a few weeks. Well, at the same time this was happening our actresses career was about to skyrocket because she was moving to a new studio. The new husband wanted her to stay home and be a wife and our actress and her domineering mother wanted the big career. So, one night our actress and the man who would be her next husband and her next victim killed her husband of two months and buried him in the desert. It is said that the reason her next husband was killed was revenge by the mafia but I say it was our actress who saw a future which was brighter with a new man in her life. With divorce not an option, a gun was.
Answer?
Jean Harlow!
I'm going to need proof of this before I believe it.
Renowned Death Hag
Yeah i read that! My only prob with the whole piece was - the 2nd but really 3rd husband - if they disposed of the secret husband like that, then why was his body found so suspiciously..surely a better accidental death would have been better???

Senior Death Hag
Whether she or the mafia killed Paul Bern, at least it discounts the possibility of him committing suicide.
Now, if Bern helped her kill her "secret" second husband, Maybe that's why she married him, because thats always been part of the mystery.
Renowned Death Hag
I highly recommend Samuel Marx's book "Deadly Illusions: Jean Harlow and the Murder of Paul Bern". I couldn't put the book down. Very revealing on the power of MGM. Really shows how far a studio will go to save a major stars reputation. IMHO, Bern was killed by his common-law wife (she was a nut), and MGM rewrote the situation to save Jean's career (and Paul's "note" helped MGM to do this). And it was worth it to smear Paul Bern's name and reputation.
Not sure how much Jean may have known, but I found it touching how she may have ended up paying for Millette's tombstone (if my memory serves me right with what Marx wrote in his book).

Agreed! Great book; riveting look at old-time Hollywood power. And your memory is correct, Buttercup, Jean Harlow did pay for Dorothy Millette's tombstone. Classy and compassionate gesture, I thought.
(OT, but...Buttercup, do you remember the part about Toni and Eddie Mannix and George Reeves? It was just a mention, but it was Sam Marx asking about Eddie Mannix and the Reeves "suicide" and Strickland said, ""Well, Eddie did do it, of course."Chilling, chilling stuff.)
