Jean Harlow Mystery Photo
March 24th, 2008 by Andre Soares
Dennis Lee Cleven is currently doing research on Jean Harlow, the MGM star who died at the age of 26 in 1937. Harlow reportedly appeared in about a dozen movies before her big break in Howard Hughes‘ Hell’s Angels in 1929. Cleven is trying to find out the movie from which the above picture was taken.
He believes it could be one of three films:
- This Thing Called Love (Pathe, 1929) Constance Bennett, Edmund Lowe, and Jean Harlow (unbilled extra). It is apparently a lost film.
- Thundering Toupees (Hal Roach, 1929) A lost short subject. Cast: Edgar Kennedy, Vivien Oakland, Jean Harlow, Eddie Dunn, Mickey Daniels.
- Close Harmony (Paramount, 1929) Charles "Buddy" Rogers, Nancy Carroll, Harry Green, Jack Oakie, and Jean Harlow (unbilled extra).

She looks a little chubby there. Still pretty, but different from the later Harlow.
