61: MGM Stories Part 6: Jean Harlow

46 min20 oktober 2015

As part of the publicity campaign for his film Hell’s Angels, Howard Hughes made Jean Harlow a star, branding her “The Platinum Blonde.” But after Hell’s Angels, Hughes couldn’t figure out what to do with Harlow, so she ended up signing a contract with MGM, at the urging of Paul Bern, who became Harlow’s new impresario and husband.

But during that time, Bern died under mysterious circumstances — as did Harlow herself, in 1937, at the age of 26.
