 Jean Harlow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harlow shot to fame in the early 1930s starring in hits such as "Hell's Angels" and "The Public Enemy" and would die within the same decade at the height of her career of kidney failure.
Notable for its two-strip Technicolor sequences (including some footage of Harlow in color, the only existing color footage of her), this film launched Harlow as the premier sex symbol of the 1930s and started a craze for platinum blonde hair that continues to this day.
Jean's beautiful green eyes were deep-set and she had to be lit just so for film and photo sessions in order to bring them out in contrast to the angle of her nose and the cleft in her chin.

 Jean Harlow
Harlow was the daughter of a successful dentist in Kansas City, MO. At the age of 16, she eloped with a businessman and moved to Los Angeles, where she worked as an extra, making her film debut in "Why is a Plumber?" (1927).
When the film was banned in England, it only served to make Harlow more popular.
Harlow was also in the headlines in 1932, when she married Paul Bern, a screenwriter, producer, director and assistant to Irving Thalberg at MGM studios.

Hughes signed Harlow to a contract and after the film's completion began loaning her out to other studios at a profit.
The film had been started in 1927 and now had to be largely reshot, with an English-speaking girl to take the place of the heavy-accented Swede Greta Nissen.

 Amazon.com: Dinner at Eight: DVD
I think one reason it is thought to be a comedy is the final lines of the film, where the decidedly unbookish Jean Harlow tells Marie Dressler that she had been reading in a book (a revelation that visibly jolts Dressler) that in the future all jobs would be done by machines.
As the two enter the dining room in the film's final scene, Harlow makes an offhand remark that elicits from Dressler one of the great screen double takes of all time.
Jean Harlow, up until then more or less a platinum sexpot in a tight skirt who gave little indication she could act her way out of a paper bag practically steals the movie as the bored and socially ambitious wife of boorish businessman Wallace Beery.

Harlow's character talks tough, but she is a sizzling sexpot (this is the film where she takes a bath in a rain barrel).
But the main attraction here is these characters wallowing in sins of the flesh in a film made two years before the Code cleaned up Hollywood (and five years before Harlow's death at the age of 26).
The film was directed by Victor Fleming (uncredited) and is based on a play by Wilson Collison.

 Hell's Angels (1930)
The aerial battles are by far the highlight of the film, although Harlow is good in her role, vamping all who come into her path.
Directed by Howard Hughes (with dialogue scenes staged by James Whale), this war movie is famous for two reasons - one, it has some of the most exciting air-borne battle sequences to appear on film; and two, it marks the feature film debut of Jean Harlow.
'Hell's Angels', now available on DVD in a beautifully restored version, can now be enjoyed by all of us with tinted and full colour sequences intact.

Hell's Angels (1930) is well-known for Howard Hughes' high-cost direction (production costs of about $3 million), 18-year-old blonde bombshell Jean Harlow's first major role and big break into film, and the stunning aerial footage (e.g., authentic-looking dogfights).
It was the costliest film ever made until Gone With the Wind (1939) beat its record by $1 million.
It is the contrasting story of two brothers (one good and one bad), Roy (James Hall) and Monte Rutledge (Ben Lyon) respectively, who leave Oxford and join in the British Royal Flying Corps at the beginning of World War I. Roy, falls in love with Helen (Jean Harlow), a sexy, voluptuous, platinum blonde.

Jean Harlow came to embody an era in film because of a $250 bet: her friends dared the shy beauty to become an extra.
Intimate Portrait: Jean Harlow is rich in such detail, relying heavily on an interview with biographer David Stenn, whose Bombshell: The Life and Death of Jean Harlow was published in 1993.
Plenty of movie clips, publicity stills, and a 1936 radio interview with Harlow help bring her spirit back to life.

 Amazon.ca: Personal Property [IMPORT]: Video
In a film that is supposed to be the quintessence of light comedy and mistaken identity, Harlow manages to invest her character with a weariness that suggests that beneath the brassy blondness lay a heart with a conscience.
Many of the scenes in which Harlow parades across the stage wearing magnificent gowns showcase a woman whose character on screen is conflicted by a desire to marry a man (Reginald Owen)for his money and who, in turn, thinks the same of her.
In retrospect, when one considers that Harlow was then in the final stages of death from uremic poisoning at the age of 26, the joy and screwball comedy of director Woodbridge S. Van Dyke becomes somehow muted by pathos.
