~~~~~~~~ Did you know? ~~~~~~~~~~~
1) While attending a football game, Harlow pointed to a husky member of a team and said to Bern, her then husband, "Daddy, buy me that!"
2) Her grandpa's present to her on her fifth birthday was an ermine bedspread.
3) Clark Gable called her "Sis," while almost everyone else at MGM called Jean "The Baby."
4) Between films she didn't worry about her hair or weight and allowed herself to get chubby. She'd have to diet drastically to get back into shape, eating mostly vegetables and salads.
5) Harlow always wittily joked that her three marriages had been "marriages of inconvenience."
6) Adela Rogers St. John felt that while many female stars had mothers who stood behind them or beside them, the most obsessed mother, one who stood in front of her daughter, was Jean Harlow's, contending that Mama Jean was an aggressive, domineering, cunning woman who let nothing stand in the way of her daughter's success.
7) Jean had a perfect body, but her aversion to wear underwear caused certain problems with the Hays Office. Beneath one costume, she was persuaded to try various brassieres, but still her nipples showed through, until a special bra was devised, one which had tips of fur-lined tin.
8) Longie Zwillman, one of the nation's top bootleggers, was obsessed with her and for years she wore a platinum bracelet he gave her, which was hung with tiny objects, including a pig to represent her eating habits. The bracelet was much admired by Harlow's friends and seems to have started the charm-bracelet craze.
9) Jean had a photographic memory. She never ran lines. She'd simply look over the script, come out of her dressing room and do it perfectly, take after take.
10) Her favourite movie was Bombshell.
11) Photographer Hurrell found Harlow extremely photogenic but physically imperfect. He said "she was one star who never, ever believed her publicity."
12) Jean was known as a voracious reader. She loved to read, especially historical novels and detective stories.
13) Had a habit of speaking of herself in the third person.
14) Her last words were "Where is Aunt Jetty? Hope she didn't run out on me..."
15) The day she died, there wasn't one sound in the M-G-M commissary for three hours.
16) To make her hair platinum blonde her hairdresser used peroxide, ammonia, Clorox, and Lux Flakes.
17) She suffered from a severe inferiority complex. If anyone did anything for her, she'd give them a present, expressing gratitude for practically nothing.
18) She bleached her pubic hair.
19) When her rich grandfather, Skip Harlow, saw Double Whoopee, he despised it, and vowed to disinherit his granddaughter if she continued her career.
18) She regarded Clara Bow as the most vivid and intense person she ever knew.
19)A guy in the 1960's (Don Roberson) had my Diary & The Famouse Polar bear rug, but they are now lost in history by a flood that happen in his Basement.

Curious Crowds Gathering at Harlow Funeral
~My funeral wasn't the average funeral. Louis B. Mayer, head of MGM, took charge and made it a Hollywood "event." He had Jeanette MacDonald singing "Indian Love Call," one of Harlow's favorite songs
and Nelson Eddy sing his favorite song, "Oh, Sweet Mystery of Life" ,in the church chapel, followed by a huge banquet with an orchestra.
My funeral, held two days after my death in the Wee Kirk O' The Heather chapel at Forest Lawn, was the biggest, most spectacular funeral service Hollywood had ever seen. More than 250 invited guests crowded into the small chapel
An estimated $15,000 worth of floral tributes surrounded My coffin, and MGM studio security guards assisted cemetery staff, Glendale police and state police in keeping fans outside the cemetery gates.
At the time of my death, I was engaged to Powell, who was at my bedside when I passed away. Powell purchased the alcove where my resting place is for a reported $30,000, with three available burial spaces. The alcove also contains the body of my mother,Jean Harlow Carpenter Bello (1889 - 1958), in an unmarked crypt. The third space is unoccupied.My crypt is inscribed with the words, "Our Baby."

~Quotes I Have Made In My Life:
On Hell's Angels (1930)-"When I was making a personal appearance, I'd always sneak in the back of the house to watch the zeppelin airplane attack. I never failed to get a tremendous thrill out of it. I probably saw that scene hundreds of times."
"I was not a born actress. No one knows it better than I. If I had any latent talent, I have had to work hard, listen carefully, do things over and over and then over again in order to bring it out."
"Men like me because I don't wear a brassiere. Women like me because I don't look like a girl who would steal a husband. At least not for long."
In May 1937, I became the very first film actress to grace the cover of Life magazine
I got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for my contributions in motions pictures at 6910 Hollywood Blvd
My first role was as an extra in Honor Bound, which I worked for only $7 a day.
Here's me I Had to leave my prints in cement outside of Grauman's Theatre twice. The first time was done inside in front of a paying audience,
but the slab was broken before making it's way to the front of the theatre. I returned four days later, this time doing it outside.
