Jean Harlow (1911–1937) was an American actress and cultural icon who rose to fame in the early 1930s, becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars before her tragically early death at age 26.
Known as the “Blonde Bombshell,” Harlow was instrumental in establishing the archetype of the glamorous, platinum-blonde sex symbol in cinema. She was one of the first actresses to be billed by her screen name, and her image, characterized by her dazzling, almost white hair, provocative roles, and witty, often cynical delivery, challenged the conservative morality of the time.
Key films like Hell’s Angels (1930), Red Dust (1932), and Dinner at Eight (1933) solidified her position as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s top star and a pioneer whose bold, modern femininity permanently influenced screen sirens who followed her. Take a look at these stunning portraits to see the beauty of Jean Harlow in the 1930s.
