![Glamour portrait of Hollywood legend Jean Harlow (1911 – 1937), wearing an off-the-shoulder, black gown and smiling demurely next to a vase of long-stemmed, white flowers.
Born Harlean Harlow Carpenter, the petite, platinum blonde actress was best known for her portrayal of "bad girl" characters, and became the leading sex symbol of the early 1930s pre-Code era.
Often nicknamed the "Blonde Bombshell" and the "Platinum Blonde", Harlow was popular for her "Laughing Vamp" screen persona. Harlow was in the film industry for only nine years, but she became one of Hollywood's biggest movie stars, whose image has endured in the public eye. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Harlow number 22 on its greatest female screen legends list.

“Widely loved and admired by peers, stagehands, and studio craftspeople for her kindness and thoughtfulness, Harlow was only 26 years old when she died of kidney failure and cerebral edema. Said one stagehand: ‘The day Baby [Harlow's nickname] died, there wasn't one sound in the commissary for three hours.’”
“Her last film, ‘Saratoga’ (1937) was completed after Harlow’s death using a body double and a voiceover artist to read her remaining lines. It was the most commercially successful film for MGM that year and the highest grossing film of Harlow’s career.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lkb7jivx7ahvl6xr3j45gunr/bafkreihmqtl2qwovivhnprlos6irdkzlide3sdafl6gycp6hjea7stciqu)

Thinking about Jean Harlow today, on what would have been her 115th birthday! Her star burned brightly but tragically short, as she only lived until age 26, but her legacy lives on, and she went on to inspire other greats such as Marilyn Monroe! #jeanharlow #oldhollywood

Born on this day 115 years ago: Depression-era platinum blonde sex goddess #JeanHarlow (née Harlean Carpenter, 3 March 1911 – 7 June 1937). I particularly love Harlow’s performances in Dinner at Eight (1933), Red Dust (1932) and especially outrageous pre-Code comedy Red-Headed Woman (1932). #badgirl
