Jean Harlow (Harlean Harlow Carpenter)
(March 3, 1911 – June 7, 1937)


Harlow’s first major appearance was in Hell’s Angels (1930), followed
by a series of critically unsuccessful films, before signing with Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer
in 1932. She died during the filming of Saratoga in
1937 at the age of 26 from kidney  disease. The movie was completed
using doubles and released a little over a month after her death. The 
American Film Institute ranked her as the 22nd greatest female star in 
Hollywood history.
