Early experience
1911On March 3rd, Jane Harrow was born in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. She was the only child in her family. My father is a dentist and my mother is the daughter of a rich real estate agent. 1908, Jane Harlow's parents got married. The marriage was arranged and Jane's parents were unhappy. In order to make up for the emptiness of love life, Jane's mother is very protective and doting on Jane, never saying "no" to Jane, and has trained her as a movie star since childhood. 1922, Jane's parents finally broke up and divorced. She was under the guardianship of her mother, who refused to see her father. After that, she seldom saw her father (although Jane sometimes secretly saw her father), and her mother took her to her grandfather, who was a Christian church, arrogant and conservative. Then Jane's mother remarried and moved to Chicago.
1923, Jane's mother took Jane to Hollywood, hoping to become an actress, but Jane's mother was 34 years old at that time, and she was too old to act, so Jane's mother pinned her hopes on her daughter. Later, Jane was sent to Hollywood Women's College by her mother to meet with douglas fairbanks, joel mccrea, Irene Selznick Meyer and others. 1925 Jane dropped out of school because her mother couldn't afford the tuition. Soon, her mother sent her to a summer camp in Michigan, but Jane was unfortunately infected with scarlet fever. Soon, Jane's mother came to the summer camp and took Jane back to live with her grandfather and stepfather. Scarlet fever in her early years also became an important reason for her early death (health problems plagued Jane's whole childhood, and she contracted meningitis and scarlet fever at the age of 5 until 15). Then Jane and her mother returned to Chicago, and Jane finished high school in a middle school called FerryHallSchool. Because Jane's mother remarried, Jane's grandfather felt humiliated, so he sponsored Jane's mother and Jane's stepfather to leave with Jane, and Jane came to Los Angeles with her family.
Performance experience
1930, 19-year-old Jean Harlow acted as an extra on the set to subsidize the family, and starred in "Angel of Hell" invested by howard hughes (the film was filmed for a long time, but later due to economic difficulties, Hughes asked Jane to play the heroine because of the accent problem of the original heroine). The screenwriter can't help but marvel at Jean Harlow's figure. Persuaded by others, Hughes decided to use this newcomer. 1930, after the release of Hell's Angel, it caused a sensation in the film industry, and Jean Harlow became the sexiest actress at that time from nobody. The success of Hell's Angels allowed Jane to enter MGM smoothly. Since then, her career has entered a golden age.
193 1 year, while Jane was busy filming the film "World of Red Dust", Jane's second husband, Bourne, shot herself. Bourne's death made Jane's life a little out of control. At this time, her career began to decline (Jane rejected the hidden rules of MGM boss Louis Meyer), and her stepfather became her agent and began to squander her money. Later, Jane found someone to plot against her stepfather, driving him away, but making her mother a Christian again.
1932, she collaborated with clark gable in The World of Red Dust. 1932, Gaby was the owner of the plantation, and Jean Harlow was a prostitute who fled from Saigon. Greta garbo was originally chosen as a prostitute, but because the revised script raised the requirements for sexy and aggressive roles, Jean Harlow was the only one. This exotic erotic film has brought a strong box office response.
The dinner in 1933 is Jane's best performance in comedy. In the same year, she starred in a movie "Sexy Stuff", which tells the story of a Hollywood star's betrayal, the greed of the production company, the pursuit of the media and the endless troubles and anguish brought to her by scandals. This is almost a replica of Clara Bow's life, and this film is said to be based on clara bow.
1935, Jane legally changed her name: Jean Harlow, taking her mother's surname.
Jane fainted on the set of Saratoga because of cholecystitis caused by uremia and renal failure. In the last photo, she was holding a copy of Gone with the Wind. At that time, she had been hospitalized and vowed to finish reading the book within one month, but the bookmark was always inserted on the fifth page.
Personal life
1927, 16-year-old Jane had a big fight with her stepfather, then ran away from home and met her first husband, CharlesMcGrew, who was three years older than McRuby. Soon they got married and moved to Beverly Hills in Hollywood. However, this marriage has not been recognized by the family, and the life away from the family is not as free as expected.
1929, because Jane went to Los Angeles, Jane's husband didn't go and stayed in Chicago, and they divorced. Jane went home and moved to Los Angeles with her mother and stepfather.
On the eve of the release of Hell's Angels, Jane met PaulBern, the president of MGM, and they established a deep friendship, and soon they started dating. 1June, 932, Jane got engaged to Bourne. 1932 On July 2nd, 2 1 year-old Jane married Bourne, who was 22 years older than Jane. But they are not happy. Bourne is impotent, and Bourne hopes Jane can cure him. A few hours after the marriage, Bourne abused Jane. Jane is hysterical and has a breakdown. She calls her agent Lando. Lando rushed to Jane's house and found traces of abuse on Jane. Two months later,1September 5, 932, Paul Bern committed suicide due to emotional and mental problems, at the age of 43. Three days later, Bourne's lover's body was found, and it became a conclusion that he died in a dispute with his lover. Jane became a victim of ignorance in an instant, and MGM also reshaped some scenes in the world of mortals, especially raising the bust line of the skirt, which proved her status as a good woman.
However, it has also been revealed that everything is a marketing tool of Louis Meyer (boss of MGM)-to make Jane controversial and then win her sympathy. Some people even said that Meyer was the first person to discover Paul Bern's suicide. At first, he stood by and did nothing, and the next few steps were well thought out.
The death of her husband brought a great blow to Jane, and Jane's life began to get out of control. First of all, Bourne left a considerable debt. Secondly, Jane hopes to find a lover to fill the emptiness in her heart. She wants to find any man, but she is afraid of being recognized and blackmailing herself. She also hopes to find a man to get pregnant and have a baby, falsely claiming that it belongs to her husband Bourne, so that she can enjoy a real family life.
1933, Jane proposed to harold rosen, a film photographer 16 years older than Jane. They have cooperated in movies such as Red-haired Bad Girl, Dinner, Look at Your Man, and The World of Red Dust, and established a deep friendship. 1933 On September 7th, they got married in Yuma, Arizona. However, the relationship between them is not good after marriage, and they often quarrel. Jane accused her husband of being "rude, depressed, rude and irritable", and they divorced in March 1935.
The misfortune of married life made Jane Harlow start drinking and having fun, while Jane was afraid of seeing a doctor. In addition, Jane used hair dye frequently for many years, and her health began to have serious problems.
/kloc-in October, Joan Harlow and robert taylor went to Washington to raise money for President Roosevelt's birthday. During this period, Jane caught the flu, but recovered quickly and attended the ninth Oscar ceremony in time.
Jane will star in the last film of her life, Saratoga, starring clark gable. The film was originally planned to start shooting in March, but Jane had to be hospitalized because of septicemia caused by wisdom tooth extraction, which delayed the release of the film.
After Jane recovered, the film started shooting on April 22nd, 65438+May 20th, 0937. During the filming of Saratoga, Jane developed symptoms such as headache, fatigue, nausea and abdominal pain. Jane began to complain, but the situation was not serious, so the crew ignored it. Before, Jane got the flu and was badly sunburned. Only Jane's friend Myrna Loy noticed that Jane was very tired and weak, and she was in poor health. On May 29th, while filming, Jane called her boyfriend william powell and said that she was very ill. william powell wanted to drive Jane home (Jane had fallen in love with william powell and was engaged).
On June 2nd, william powell examined Jane and confirmed that Jane had the flu, but the doctor diagnosed Jane with cholecystitis, and another doctor thought Jane was not suffering from cholecystitis, but from renal failure. On the evening of June 6, Jane was taken to GoodSamaritanHospita in Los Angeles for first aid. Jane was in a coma at that time. But there's nothing I can do.
Jane died in the hospital at 1 1 37 am on June 7, at the age of 26. In the hospital press release, Jane's death was caused by complications of brain edema and renal failure.
The news of Jane's death spread quickly in Hollywood. Spencer Tracy wrote in his diary that "Jane Harlow passed away today", and MGM closed for one day to commemorate Jane. At that time, Jane had fallen in love with actress william powell and got engaged, but because Jane wanted children, Powell refused, so she couldn't get married. Still, Powell spent $25,000 on Jane's funeral. Powell also built another tomb next to Jane's, hoping to be buried with Jane after his death, but this tomb has never been used. Powell also prepared a grave for Jane's mother. Jane's mother died in 1958 and was buried here, while Powell later remarried in 1940. 1984, Powell was cremated after his death, and his ashes were buried by his son in the desert memorial park in CathedralCity, California.
Since then, some rumors have become popular, saying that Jane's mother refused to seek the help of doctors, which delayed Jane's treatment opportunity, because Jane's mother was a superstitious Christian believer, and Jane herself refused to be hospitalized and operated.
Since then, there have been many rumors that Jane died of alcoholism, dieting, platinum poisoning, heatstroke, abortion and sexually transmitted diseases. However, according to medical reports and hospital records, the testimony of several friends proved that Jane died of kidney disease.
Jane was buried in LawnMemorialPark after her death, and the inscription on the tombstone was "Our Baby".

Personal anecdote
When filming the world of mortals, Jean Harlow, who was always jumping up and down, gave clark gable a stimulant. From then on, they became close comrades-in-arms (always cooperating with each other five times) and bosom friends. Everyone calls Jane "Baby", only Gaby is called "Sister".
Jane dyes her hair every Sunday. Her trademark light silver gray hair is dyed all the year round. The hair dye mixed with hydrogen peroxide and ammonium phosphinate was prepared by herself. The result of this hair dye was a painful process, which damaged her hair so much that she had to wear a wig later, and her early death was also speculated to be related to this.
Even during filming, she refused to wear a bra and underwear, preferring to sleep naked. Although there are many kinds of customs on the screen, I always use loose sweaters in my life and call my robe "a mess of cloth."
She wears a "lucky anklet" on her left foot and there is a "lucky mirror" in the dressing room. She always takes pictures before shooting.
Jane's royal cosmetics brand is Mi Si Buddha.
Jane stayed at the miramar Fermon Hotel in Santa Monica.

Personality assessment
Before her, sexy goddess was always the patent of brunette. She has blonde hair and shows off her sexiness. From then on, the word blonde stunner began to appear. She is like a combination of clara bow and Mary Pickford, sexy, rebellious and naive. (Jingchu Network Review)
Joan Harlow's blonde image is of great significance in the history of movies. Before her, most sexy Hollywood beauties had black hair, such as famous silent film actresses Louise Brooks and Paula negri. After reading this, I have to say that the wine is old, and the longer the little black dress, the more fragrant it is. With beauty superstar jean harlow, you can't find any words to describe it except "invincible" and "stunning". (Netease Entertainment Review)
Joan Harlow was the first blonde in American movies and TV. Since then, blonde hair has become a symbol of Hollywood. (Ranger Network Review)
