Jean Harlow’s Elizabethan Mural
April 24th, 2006 by Andre Soares
Lisa Burks, currently working on a biography of actor Franchot Tone (Mutiny on the Bounty, Phantom Lady), has posted on her site a magazine copy of an oil-on-canvas mural that MGM producer Paul Bern gave his wife Jean Harlow back in the early 1930s.
The mural, by Russian artist V. Ignatieff, portrays several of Harlow’s friends and professional acquaintances - among them John Gilbert, Bebe Daniels, Louis B. Mayer, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. - disguised in Elizabethan garb. It is up for auction on ebay.
