Blonde Haired Actresses Biography
Jean Harlow was born on March 3, 1911. Through cinema, the world would be merely introduced to this seductive force. Sadly, she met with an untimely death at twenty six.
Standing just 5”2’ tall, Jean Harlow had the robust personality and inherent sexuality that propelled her into superstardom. With her platinum blond hair, her enchanting smile, and an intentional brash flash of her perfect figure, Hollywood could not deny her rise to fame. Amazingly, even though she had never taken one acting lesson, Jean went on to make 36 films in just 10 years.
The Howard Hughes Connection
Jean Harlow appeared in several movies before her breakout role in Howard Hughes’ 1930 film, Hell’s Angels, which instantly launched her into international stardom. Hughes then signed Harlow to a five year contract with his Caddo Production Company. Jean Harlow was one of the few starlets of the day that Hughes did not pursue for, shall we say, personal pleasures. It was during the making of Hell’s Angels that Harlow met Paul Bern, an MGM executive who would be both a pivotal yet injurious character in her career, and her life.
A Natural Blond
After making the successful picture Public Enemy with James Cagney in 1931, among other films that year, Harlow went on to make Platinum Blond. Originally titled Gallagher, it was renamed at Howard Hughes’ urging to capitalize on the popular image of Jean Harlow’s striking hair color. In fact, ever the publicity hound, Hughes launched a contest offering any hair stylist who could match Harlow’s shade of hair a whopping $10,000. Harlow vehemently denied ever having dyed her hair, and stated she was indeed a natural blond. Of course this was certainly unbelievable to the masses of want-to-be’s, natural platinum hair color just didn’t exist, but in Jean’s case it was true, she had the rare albino gene. On one occasion, Jean lay in the sun and paid dearly with second-degree burns to her body and face; after that, and under doctors’ recommendations, she avoided sun exposure totally.
