“Jean Harlow was the first screen tramp to become a heroine and her raw sexuality made her the sex symbol of the 30s, very much in the way Marilyn Monroe became the sex symbol of modern cinema. Harlow’s screen persona was very different from Monroe’s, however; she wasn’t vulnerable but impudent, tough, wisecracking, slatternly and sexually voracious. She gave as good as she got, which made her a wonderful screen partner for Clark Gable and James Cagney. In her first starring role, in the 1930 Hell’s Angels, she gave the cinema one of its immortal lines when she asked Ben Lyon to “Pardon me while I slip into something more comfortable”, and she gained even more fame in Red Dust by taking a bath and ordering Gable to “Scrub my back.” She wore clinging satin dresses without a bra, became known as the Platinum Blonde and obviously was just as keen on sex as men were. On top of all that she was a fine comedienne and is just as enjoyable to watch today as she was in the 30s. From 1930 to 1937 she was a major star in a delightful series of films, mostly at MGM, and then died tragically of uremic poisoning. She was only 26 years old.”
/ From The Illustrated Encyclopedia of The World’s Great Movie Stars by Ken Wlaschin, 1979 /
Born on this day 112 years ago: Depression-era sex goddess Jean Harlow (née Harlean Carpenter, 3 March 1911 – 7 June 1937). Tough to pick, but I think my favourite Harlow performance is in outrageous pre-Code Red-Headed Woman (1932).

Vision has platinum blonde hair 😭
It differentiates him from the others, okay? Plus, I can just say it got washed out from being possessed or dealing with spirits or something like that! I think that works.

Now if they cut Joon's hair without styling it like this, I'll be raging. This is one of my ultimate favorites.
