My favorite Jean Harlow movies are (in no particular order): Red-Headed Woman, Dinner at Eight, Wings, Platinum Blonde, Wife vs Secretary

Her mother was the Kris Jenner

The “Golden” era of Hollywood was so glamorous!

William Powell broke her heart because he refused to marry her. Jean's death devastated him. He attended her funeral with his mother and wept uncontrollably.

Poor Girl. Her condition could be cured today. She really was a Beautiful Spirit. A Great Comic actress! I loved her performance in " "Dinner At Eight"! Very professtional. Sorry we lost you So Early in your Life. You had so much to give .🙏💙

I’m old enough to remember, thanks for sharing..

@@londonunderground790 not quite, however when I was young, she was still in the public consciousness.

Did this really air on A&E?! The tone of this doc is so over the top, I could not stop imagining Fred Armisen playing the biographer and Bill Hader doing narration. Thanks for the laughs, Peter Jones Production. If the historical inaccuracies aren't enough to get a chuckle, hopefully the narrator calling Jean's characters SLUTS over some genteel, violin music will get the audience.

@ 21:14 the narrator states, "The morning of September 5, 1937, Jean Harlow herself calls MGM publicity chief Howard Strickling........" That is not accurate because Jean Harlow died on June 7, 1937. Paul Bern died in1932. That error exists in the original A & E Biography narrated by Peter Graves as well.

21:14 In September 1937, Jean called about Bern's death? A full 3 months after she died? That's amazing.

She may not have been the great actress, but she had the real comedic talent. But of course the platinum blonde that came after her had much more to offer in terms of not only Greater Looks but also of Real Great Talent!

Why did the narrator have to call her a sl•t and wh•re, really harsh.

I agree, That was disrespectful, cruel and unkind, and unnecessary.

But it really was public perception of her. I don’t think it was narrator’s personal opinion

Mmmmm...Thank you!

It was a tragically she died so young.

I'm Chris Puleo, and I am this woman and have eyebrows like this and I normally brush teeth twice a day and alone rinse out with water and mouth wash.

What about Platinum Blonde ? 1931

That picture was not Joan Crawford!

Yes, I used to have a VHS copy of this biography with Peter Graves narrating. His voice certainly fits these biographies a lot better.

... yet her life was tragic. Rest in peace Jean Harlow.

I wonder if the ammonia contributed to the kidney failure

I still don't see what people were so crazy about, Jean wasn't that pretty just like any woman walking down the street🤔, Maybe it was the ghostly white hair that people were attracted to may she rest in peace 🙏

She was definitely attractive, but not quite the beauty the publicity made her out to be. Different times, though. She was the sex symbol of the early 1930s, the first one of the talkies.
