Harlow (1965)
Directed by Alex Segal
Overview
Loosely based biography of 1930s star Jean Harlow as she begins her climb to stardom. One of two “Harlow” film biographies that appeared in 1965, this one stars Carol Lynley in the title role that begins as Jean Harlow, a bit player in Laurel and Hardy comedies, is invited to test for director Jonathan Martin for the lead in Howard Hughes’s “Hell’s Angels.” She is an instantaneous sensation, and in a series of films devoted more to her body than her talent, she becomes Hollywood’s “Platanum Blonde.”
