Jean Harlow definitely had her own distinctive look, but I'm often surprised by how many people seem to think she was beautiful. I just don't see it. I still like her and think she was interesting, but I definitely think Marilyn Monroe was easier on the eyes.
Jean Harlow wasn't conventionally beautiful, but there's no denying her sex appeal. There have been many stars with a strong on-screen sexuality who were not the ideal of physical beauty -- Bette Davis and Barbara Stanwyck, for example. And on the male side, lots of women think Humphrey Bogart was sexy, and he certainly wasn't conventionally handsome.
@scotpens That's an excellent way to describe both Harlow and Bogie. To my eye Harlow's features were too coarse to satisfy today's standard of beauty. And of course she couldn't act... who could in the early days of film? I doubt she could even work TV commercials today.
Dead Wrong..!!...Maybe she couldnt act in this film...but she worked hard and became quite an acomplished comedienne...watch "Bombshell" she was far and away the best actor on the screen...
all of the actresses-early cinema and today, wear theatrical makeup. in the early days, they had to, so it showed up on camera. todays actresses wear a lot of makeup too. just take a look at what they look like "naturally" compared to what they look like in reality. go to any movie studio and see what kind of makeup they use. lots.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT EXACTLY IS THE DEFINITION OF "BEAUTIFUL"? Well, what I think is pretty is not what others think. Or what I say is not pretty is what someone else would think is pretty. This shows that we do not think alike.
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see Jean Harlow. She's a marvelous example of an old times diva. Love this old but gold cinema. I wish I could buy her movies, but alas, so far I haven't had a chance =/
sorry but I gotta disagree...I think Jean was beautiful...in her early films like this one..she did wear too much makeup...but look at her in Libeled Lady or Wife vs Secretary or Red Headed woman...she looked way sexy...oh well...just my opinion.
ha! w.e okay. they were all beautiful! but monroe was not a clown face! why do you think that. she was amazingly beatiful women inside and out. and an amazing actress.!!!
Gorgeous! We went to Hollywood last month...and I will never forget it. Never. My husband and I went to Forest Lawn where she is resting, I walked up to the little chapel where her service was held..and well let me just say that it was surreal, wonderful, and peaceful. I just imagined all of the stars there that day when she was laid to rest. But the best part was going into the Grand Masoleum and visiting HER. I spoke a few words to her and cried. : )
I think one of the reasons shes so legendary is the fact that she was'nt so pretty, her beauty was attainable any one with a little peroxide and attitude could dream about being her.
Wow, she's like a platinum Mata Hari. (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if that were one of her idols. She'd have done better than Greta Garbo in the 1931 movie)
I haven't seen Hell's Angels yet, but I must say Jean Harlow, well the young Jean Harlow looks really, really different, did she have some kind of cosmetic surgery post 1930?
God, I wish the real movie had been edited to include only Jean's scenes. Hell's Angels is one of the worst films ever but because of Jean, I watch it all the time. She was SO absurdly beautiful. Especially in that last scene where she blows up at her boyfriend. I feel like grabbing her and kissing those perfect lips of hers. And I'm a pretty straight girl!
I read somewhere that Marilyn was a big fan of hers and that she would have people take her to she Jean's movies as a young girl. Marilyn also saw many similarities between her and Jean's life, and also there's the fact that they both died young and were Hollywood blond-bombshells. Saying she was MM's girl was my short way of saying all that I said in this comment.
mmm, i read that as monroe became more famous, she hired the hairdresser who used to dye harlow's hair blonde, although the woman was very old by marilyn's time
no kidding that was the only color film shot of Harlow, Color would have been used more and sooner had the depression not nearly destroyed this country...
I'm glad we don't have to hear her voice in this video. She had the single most annoying voice ever.

Jean is beautiful. While she may not have been "classically beautiful", there was still something alluring and captivating about her.
She was so young in this clip. Thank you for sharing. She did look good with her own eyebrows.
She was a good actress. Funny, dramatic and in charge. It was sad that she left us too soon.
She is and will always be my favorite. She was the original bombshell.
I love you Baby!
