Description

Jean Harlow: photographed for Dinner At Eight by George Hurrell - 1933.
Jean Harlow was was an American film actress of the 1930's, known as the "The Blonde Bombshell. She was only 26 when she died in 1937 and her career lasted only 10 years but she had become world famous, and is, indeed, still famous today, as one of Hollywood's first sex symbols and she has been ranked by the American Film Institute at number 22 on their list of the greatest movie stars of all time. In May 1937 she became the first movie actress to appear on the cover of Life magazine.
She began her movie career by appearing in films which were designed specifically to show her sex appeal, but she had genuine comedic talent and she was able to make the transition to stronger, more rounded roles. Under contract to MGM she achieved great fame but her personal life was marred by tragedy and disappointment and ultimately, her sudden death at the tragically early age of 26.
