Scott,said after her death,"So she stayed young, and can be seen without any blurring by age of that sultry face and sashaying figure-without any dimming of that blinding hair".Of all the Classic Hollywood Movie Stars,Jean Harlow's story has to be the most tragic.Jean Harlow had a show business career that lasted only nine years which included 43 films.In the history of Hollywood Glamour,few stars were more alluring,seductive,lovely,dynamic,or quicker to become legend, than was Jean Harlow.Song "Remember Me" By Thomas Bergersen.Color Portraits By Chip Springer(Legends Of The Silver Screen).
