Harlow Heavenさんのイラストまとめ

Happy March! Can’t think of a better way to ring in the month than with these poolside William Grimes portraits taken at Harlow’s Beverly Glen home in March 1934. (Thread)

Her sole vehicle of 1934—not to mention the first where she alone held top billing—is a treat. TGFM’s censorship troubles seem to define it, but essentially none of its charm was affected. I recommend watching simply for this scene with Patsy Kelly that gets me every time:

Absolutely love this (deceivingly) effortlessly gorgeous publicity still from BOMBSHELL (1933), with Harlow lounging in bed wearing an Adrian negligee. Can’t we all be doing this today instead of going to work? ⁣⁣

Jean’s wearing a notable Adrian gown—particularly, a bare-shouldered skintight number with rhinestone straps that somehow survived censorship. Also left is a full view of Harlow’s exposed breast after the integrity of those straps was compromised…would love to see the PCA file!

Harlow’s first film at MGM is pre-code at its apex—gloriously unabashed in its celebration of female sexuality, even at its most nefarious. Harlow’s character Lillian ultimately faces no consequences despite her utilization of feminine wiles to climb her way up the social ladder.

Here’s a rare shot of Harlow stepping off the train in Oakland that popped up recently.

Gibbons’ legendary portfolio as an art director includes nearly all of Harlow’s work at MGM—one of his most notable contributions has to be the dazzling set of DINNER AT EIGHT (1933).

Many of Duncan’s portraits of Harlow appeared alongside magazine advertisements throughout 1931 and 1932, notably for Lux Toilet Soap. From MOVIE CLASSIC, August 1932:

Two portraits from this particular session were reimagined in illustrations; one of them was used for the cover of the novel, Red Headed Woman, when it was rereleased to promote the film.

A pastel portrait of Jean Harlow by Charles Gates Sheldon, modeled after a Hurrell shot from 1935. It was used on an August issue of SCREENLAND the same year.
