I cant believe she died so young. That freezes you in time. Some of the outfits women wore in these films like Bombshell are Met gala worthy. So chic & stylish.
Norma Jean was 11 when Jean Harlow passed away. She knew who Jean was and in fact, was one of her early idols very much so. After Jean's passing, Norma Jean set her eyes on stars like Betty Grable. They were in Betty's last good film together, How To Marry A Millionaire from 1953.
Having a child doesn't automatically make you happy. Who said it's better than career or other things? Also, a child doesn't always remain a "so cute" baby. Rather if one does not want a child it is better that he knows that he must use contraceptives.

This must have been made in the 198Os. Jean died in 1937, meaning these giving interviews on her who knew her and were adults her age or older could not be anymore than seventy or eighty years old here.
Jus happened to watch Jean's insightful Documentary when June 6th the day of her passing came up, gave me goosebumps because I'd no idea, but I pray Gods Eternal rest for this much loved, naturally talented, but sadly exploited movie icon MsJean Harlow... 🌌💜🙏🏻
Her stand in double there, the one who fainted and was picked up, said Jean was buried in pink. I thought she was buried in the gown she wore from Dinner At Eight...that is what I always heard from another documentary on her. The one I am referring to is the one hosted by Sharon Stone in the 1990s. Very interesting. That house that Jean leased until her death, is right next to Marilyn and Joe Di Maggio's house they had from Jan. 1954 to Oct. 1954. I wonder if Marilyn ever knew that while there. Many of Jean's movies are now being released on HD Blu-ray for the first time by WB. I hope all or most of them get released on this HD format. They look gorgeous now on the 4K TVs. RIP Ms. Harlow.❤
Jean Harlow a real doll wish had lived to be old and be on TV for an interview write a good biopic about jean her mother was so vain shame on her we love you jeans Harlow you are a sweetheart hope you are up above with the heavenly host😊
She's one of my favorite actresses that's too bad that she died so young she was a natural beauty more than some of the blondes that came up after her I like the way she had that subtle way of comedic acting she didn't try hard like some she just wasn't natural thank you for the video
When studios made millions off of actors. Telling them what they could and could not do, who they could date, where they could/couldn't go. When their lives could be ruined with one word from a studio. I called it 'Entertainment Slavery.' Things slowly changed with the defiance of Mary Pickford. (Famous silent screen actress). She, Barrymore & Chaplin started United Artists studio. Everyone from the set/costume designers, cameramen, etc. were treated politely, paid a good wage. Actors were also paid a better profit for their work. You would find her biography very interesting. Hedy LaMarr was another brilliant actress. Who received a patent on a 'frequency hopping system'. Later adapted by the US Navy to develop radio controlled torpedo's. Thanks for reading.
Jean Harlow lived vicariously through her daughter Harlean Carpenter, AKA "Jean Harlow". I do believe she loved her but she also used her for fame and undeserved recognition. It is sad that medical science back then couldn't save "Jean". It seemed like her death was inevitable due to that bout with scarlet fever that she had as a child. She packed a lot of years into her short life and her movies are still entertaining to this day. My favorite movies of hers are BOMBSHELL and RED DUST. Her other films are pretty entertaining too: RED HEADED WOMAN, WIFE VS SECRETARY, HOLD YOUR MAN, LIBELED LADY, and SARATOGA to name a few.
You are absolutely correct. That is Dolores Del Rio, not Joan Crawford. He also gave the Year 1937 earlier in the documentary when it should have been earlier.
In Public Enemy, Jean Harlow is holding James Cagney and says the line --- "The world is full of men, and I've known Dozens of them". Well, I'll leave it up to the imagination what she meant by that line.
Ok, just when I thought I knew something about Jean I get this big surprise I had no idea she had been pregnant but she had an abortion just like Judy she was forced to give up motherhood. Only Judy was still able to have kids Jean sadly was robbed of that & she died very young from too much drinking that caused her kidneys to give out. As for her hair I said this on other comments Mae West was actually the 1st platinum blond only she used less lethal products on her hair what the stylists were using on Jean it's surprising she wasn't bald by the time she stop dying her hair.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6! Parents who disobey this command will give account to God for every child's soul that is lost! Woe!
@@wednesdayschild3627 Jean had stopped dying her hair long before her death. She was no longer white blonde in her last films. Apparently Jean had had Scarlet Fever as a child which can cause weakened kidneys.
I read what was done to get her hair that white blonde wonder she had hair left. Lux soap flakes mixed with the hair bleach!!! She was beautiful poor thing bleached her roots once a week.
I always enjoyed this series but am disappointed at the glaring mistakes in this one. “Joan Crawford” but shows a picture of Dolores Del Rio. While discussing the death of Paul Bern the year was stated as 1937. Paul Bern died in 1932. For a normally classy and usually factual series, how did these goofs make the final cut? Oh well, still had some interesting info.
I have seen this biography so many times. I am just noticing a major error in it. @ 20:41 the narrator Peter Graves says "The morning of September 5, 1937, Jean Harlow herself called MGM publicity chief Howard Strickling with the news of Bern's death." Jean Harlow died on June 7, 1937. Paul Bern died September 5, 1932, not 1937. I can't believe I never caught that before. BTW, Howard Strickling, Louie B. Mayer, David O. Selznick, and Irving Thalberg should all have been arrested due to them disturbing an active crime scene and trying to alter it to make Harlow look innocent. I don't think she had anything to do with Bern's death but they should have called the cops first before going in there and contaminating the crime scene.
@@trevormichael4906 What a rude comment. Marilyn wasn't smutty as you say at all. They were completely different personalities but shared some of the same qualities.
MARILYN was not a "copy" of "Jean". Jean was Norma's (pre-teen at the time) first movie idol. She passed when Norma Jean was 11 years old. After that, she then took to movie stars like Betty Grable in the late '30s and into the 1940s. How To Marry A Millionaire (1953) starred both of them and was a big hit.
Definitely more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe... People make too much of Marilyn Monroe who was just a regular girl, and much more talented, than Marilyn, with a comedic nature as well.
All she wanted was to be a wife and mother??? I don't think so. Everything she did defies this claim...hooking up with men who do not share her goals, destroying her babies.
She did… her mother didn’t let her have the babies and it wasn’t allowed to get pregnant before getting married at the time. She just didn’t end up finding the right one for her.

I read a book years ago about Jean Harlow and her marriage to Paul burn and it never was brought up again but how she died but in the book it was blamed on after they married and she saw what he had or didn't have his manliness you know what I'm talking about his private parts we're not there very much and she laughed at it and he whacked her across the kidneys with his Cane and then that set her into kidney failure and pneumonia but I never heard that story again
Two minutes and five seconds wasted on the introduction of this bio wasted when you could have used that time to add more info on the actress. The Director should have been fired.
Boo hoo I never wanted any of this…..right. I like her but it’s tiring hearing famous folks ‘not wanting it’ - not always believable. I think Mae West & Kate Hepburn are far more influential from that era.
If she wanted kids why did she have 3 ABORTIONS? 😢😢😢if I had a daughter and found out that she had an ABORTION i would DISOWN HER. Almost anything else i could tolerate.
Her mother forced her the first time so she can make her pursue her career and detach her from her first husband and the second time the law didn't allow unmarried women to get pregnant and Powell didn't want to marry her. It's all in the documentary.

My favourite Harlow documentary. In and of itself, it's warm and nostalgic.
Some years back, I watched “ Dinner At Eight.” It was a wonderful movie. Jean Harlow was a talented, beautiful actress.
I've seen "Dinner at 8" several times over the years, with its all-star MGM cast, and the only thing I can remember about it are Jean's scenes.
@@akrenwinkle very nicely put ❤🫂👣
Great actress will always be remembered such a unique soul
What a lovely woman! Hollywood was graced to have her for such a brief moment in history.
Jean Harlow walked so Marilyn Monroe could run.
What a great statement!

Great actress just recently been watching her movies loved her in Bombshell and Dinner at Eight
Very good biography. I’m glad they clearly addressed the misconception of Momma Jean and Jean Harlow’s death. Some myths and rumors are tenacious.
Poor Jean , used and abused for all of her tragically short life RIP 🕊️🌈
I can’t look at Peter Graves without laughing…
“Joey, have you ever seen a grown man naked?”
If only her mother would have allowed Jean to have that baby... I can't believe her mom valued show biz over a grandbaby.
If only Jean had cut the umbilical cord when it was time... but she did allow everyone to step on her
