Hee hee. http://outofthepastcfb.blogspot.com/2009/04/many-loves-of-queen-norma.html<br /><br />KC - Yes the audience LOL'd at Tone's line for sure. That was a gem.<br /><br />Meredith - I hadn't thought of the connection between Harlow's real life and her Bombshell character but you are so right!!!<br /><br />Mercurie - And so many people don't know that Marilyn Monroe was inspired by Jean Harlow too. Harlow is definitely the original Blonde Bombshell.<br /><br />David - I prefer Harlow's Red Dust to Ava Gardner's Mogambo, hands down!!!Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-7705684866857865602009-10-20T16:21:38.331-04:002009-10-20T16:21:38.331-04:00yup--two great ones!
Harlow's Vantine is one ...yup--two great ones!<br /><br />Harlow's Vantine is one of the great heroines, exploding all of those stale ideas about what a "bad girl" is<br /><br />and I could listen to that woman talk to her dog "Barko" (in Bombshell) forever!Expos 1983 Blog https://www.blogger.com/profile/10798243137456349089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-35902397848214456112009-10-19T22:58:18.722-04:002009-10-19T22:58:18.722-04:00Jean Harlow has always been one of my favourites. ...Jean Harlow has always been one of my favourites. And I love Bombshell. I love the rapid fire dialogue and the in jokes. It is funny how much pop culture clout this movie has--the popularity of the term "blonde bombshell," originally used of Harlow, stems from this film! It's only too bad it's not out on DVD yet.Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-52786493679507606832009-10-19T16:09:19.266-04:002009-10-19T16:09:19.266-04:00Yay!

Her mom and stepfather were a pair of free-loading vultures!!! Poor girl. She shined despite her sad life which was far too short.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950207764204473859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-44646648483320596582009-10-19T10:53:00.440-04:002009-10-19T10:53:00.440-04:00I love the part where Tone says he wants to run th...I love the part where Tone says he wants to run through Harlow's hair! These are my two favorite Harlow movies. I can't understand why they aren't on DVD; they're so much better than most of the stuff they choose to put out.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17587905976811500791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-12194856862534041122009-10-19T09:54:13.872-04:002009-10-19T09:54:13.872-04:00wow they sure picked 2 good ones!

Lee Tracy is certainly of the fastest talkers in screen history. if you ever see it listed at TCM be sure and catch "Blessed Event" with him and Dick Powell (in his screen debut). Maybe you've seen it already? What can i say about Red Dust, it's one of my fave Gable films ever and it may be Harlow's best. she certainly looked awesome that's for sure! Victor Fleming...hmmmm, what do you say about the guy who directed Gone with the Wind AND Wizard of Oz both in the same year! plus he had an affair with Clara Bow...dont know how much cooler he can get, nope i just dont know ;)Artman2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/03062864368596074661noreply@blogger.com
