    If anyone visits Marilyn and Joe DiMaggio's previous home in Beverly Hills, the one in which they lived from Jan. '54 - Oct '54, the house on the left of it is where Jean Harlow passed away. Jean's crypt is in Forest Lawn Glendale, CA. and it is stunning. The whole hallway to it is a who's who of the '20s and '30s era. Norma Shearer and her director hubby are buried to the right of Jean and her mom's crypt. It's all marble and the words "Our Baby" in gold lettering is still there and can be read, although it is fading as the years go by. Marie Dressler is also buried in the hallway on the right side. She was in DINNER AT EIGHT with Jean.

    So many talented people seemed to have died young, including actors and musicians and even artists, that era, the twenties and thirties were special, the music, films, dances , fashions, seemed so classy and I suppose Hollywood was in its heyday , before television and computers , the stars of Hollywood were the complete idols of millions, Harlow was magnificent , an original and a legend .

      It’s when there were actual real movie stars. They were bigger than life. We don’t have movie stars anymore. The movie star is dead. We have a few holdovers like Tom Cruise or Meryl Streep but that’s it. There was a real mystique to movie stars that’s lacking. Now we can know every tiny detail of a actor or singer right down to what they ate for breakfast. They’re no longer special and with the advent of the influencer, you don’t even have to be talented.

    Long time Harlow fan here. When I first encountered "the Baby" on 80s late night TV, in Public Enemy I thought she was just awful-----the worst possible actress and that nasal voice ! Then I saw her in Dinner at Eight and fell love forever more ! It took me time to understand her persona, and her development as a actress in 3 short years ! Cant get enough of Red Dust and the outrageous Red Headed Woman, one of the great comedic performances on film !

    For such a short life, she certainly lived more fully than most people double or triple her age. Her
    MGM movies are by far superior to her earlier work. MGM knew what they were doing when they made a star. She was already a star but they just added that undeniable MGM magic.

    Fortunately I've seen all of her starring movies while I was still getting Turner Classic Movies in my cable package and I have many of them on tape or transferred to DVD or recorded on DVD. It's very sad Jean Harlow died so young and was really just starting what would have been at least 10 more years of movies I would think because actresses as popular as her usually did well until they got around 40 years old.

    I definitely love THAT Hollywood for its Women. Men, with the exception of Cary Grant, Gable, Jimmy Stewart and somehow Tracy, looked awful and was absolutely dull as the characters. But those women. Ah, what a glamour, what a temper…even though we all know how hard it was to be a woman in those days (it really IS easier now) and what sacrifices they had to make…now we look at them, we know them, we love them and we salute their bravery, their courage, their talent and their beauty. Either those who survived that beautiful (on the facade) times and those who were broken by the cruel and violent Hollywood machine at its “Golden Age”

    Most of them seem like willing victims, to me. If you have no self control to start with, it turns into a nightmare pretty quickly. Jean seems to have been deeply in the grip of alcohol, which hurried her downward spiral. She left us with some good comedies, and a lot to think about. That should be enough.

    • @JeanHarlowArchive
      @JeanHarlowArchive  2 роки тому +2

      Jean was raised in her mother’s delusional bubble. Harlow didn’t have anyone else and that was her only defence against others because men abused her for her sex you know too and she never thought to what extent her career would go since she never looked at herself as someone sexy and that pretty. She had low self-esteem and never had a father, always moving to different schools until she dropped out to marry at 16 and then divorce because her mother wanted her to go into movies and was manipulating her in very toxic ways. Those things were new at the time with cinema and she never realized her good will to fulfil her mother’s dream out of gratitude would become such a trap that she wouldn’t be able to escape. Also even if she didn’t enter the pictures she would’ve died due to her fatal at that time illness. She was just way too young and naive teenager that needed proper for her age guidance so she could become a strong adult but she was never lucky in her life i suppose.
