Jean Harlow (1911-1937) was an American actress and sex symbol, the original “Platinum Blonde” and “Blonde Bombshell.” Originally cast to showcase her beauty she evolved into more meaty roles as a contract player at MGM. She died of renal failure at 26. Jean was one of Marilyn’s idols when she was a child. Although Jean’s mother wanted Marilyn to play the lead in the film Harlow, she refused stating the script did not do the Jean proper justice. 28 by 20 inches Categories: Marilyn Monroe
