chose to share with us.
Ayanda
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She's my favorite diva because she is beautiful, funny and has the
cutest voice in the world. Her movies always made me feel good, except for
Saratoga, that one made me very depressed, but that aside, Jean Harlow is
still my favorite. I find her beauty unique from all the other modern
actresses out here today. The only thing I don't like about her is her short
life. She had so much potential to really be somebody because most just
remember her for being blonde, easy and dying young and discard how truly
gifted this actress really was. That's why she's my favorite actress and
that's why she'll always be my favorite actress." Jen
(UK) on Jean Harlow
"This girl needs to be number 1. Gorgeous, sweet and beautiful, the
legend that never dies." Jem
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Just look and listen. She was a stunning presence that achieved
legendary status though her life was so short. She created a new image for the
era that has lived on. She was remarkable. Rank her up man! She's the first
platinum goddess of the screen long overdue for some respect." Robertito
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is the Cutest Cutie-Pie in the Galaxy and she's adorable with a
super wiggle. She's tough as hell, while still being the sweetest gal on the
block. Sexy with the greatest of ease-- she rarely tried to be hot, she just
was! She's a doll, a scream, a delight. She lights up the screen like
few have ever really done, and only in her wake. She's an original, a lovely
petal in the Hollywood storm. She's a natural! Women adored her, Men lost
their minds over her. Everyone loved The Baby. Everyone loves Jean-- even if
they don't realize it. She's part of movie consciousness - more than The
Blonde, more than a true MGM Superstar, she transcended and shined above all,
only by being herself. She'll always bee Our Harlean, Our Jean. Forever!" K.P.
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Jean Harlow is my personal favorite. Interested in theater and film, she
was the first actress I saw in an old film. Knowing that she was no longer
with us , Jean still had me interested in every move she made on screen and
had me captivated by her comedic talent. I became a fan and managed to collect
most of her films, bios, etc. It's amazing to me how many women today emulate
or make references to her memory knowing she started it all. Plus, she was a
classy lady. I guess that is true immortality. Lastly, she was gorgeous!
Thanks." Ninde
(UK) on Jean Harlow
"... because she was an amazing actor, and the first blonde American Sex
Symbol. Although she had a very short acting career, she captivated thousands
of viewers and influenced future stars suck as Marilyn Monroe and Madonna." Jenny
(Poland) on Jean Harlow
"I wanted to say that you got a beautiful site. And so wonderful
and lovely your site about Jean Harlow. She is the best actress that ever was.
Are you gonna put some little clips of her films on your site? That would be
great!" Amy
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She's hilarious, for one, and I also just admire the woman. For crying
out loud, she'd have to be sewn into her dresses and then stand or lean all
day instead of sitting down! Plus, she was the first star to bounce back from
a scandal (which she didn't even deserve to be hurt by in the first place),
and also to change her image from sex siren to girl-next-door. Plus, her
career was so tragically short, yet she left such an indelible mark on cinema.
And she didn't start acting because she wanted to be famous or important. She
was also a homebody... I just love her." Dennis
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Her performances are as timeless today as when she filmed them so long
ago in an all too brief career and life. Jean Harlow was a sweetheart off the
screen but that essence showed on the screen and she was adored by her peers
and the public. In seven short years, she became beloved by the public. She
went from playing bad girls to comic roles that are as fresh today as they
were when they were filmed. Her personal warmth came through onto the screen.
When she died, she was in no danger of becoming box office poison; MGM had big
plans for her. Jean Harlow was a true professional and the adoration she
received by the public was from herself and not just a publicity department.
She had star quality and a great deal of talent." Heather
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Always has been, always will be. She lit up any camera." Shajakie
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Jean Harlow is my "fav diva" because of her style, I think it
was the most copied style ever and it still will be in many years to come. She
was the first Bombshell who inspired most of the platinum blondes of the
1900's and now the 2000's she was an icon, copied by many like Jayne Mansfield
and Marilyn Monroe who were both born brunette. It is a shame she died so
young." Brigitte
(Canada) on Jean Harlow
"First of all, she was never a diva. She was a nice, nice, nice little
thing. Divas are supposed to be all, "Fetch me a lukewarm pineapple
shake" or whatever. She was just too lovable and normal to be a diva. But
she is still my favourite cause... anyone who has seen a Jean Harlow movie can
tell you that she just has this something. When she's on the screen, nothing
else in the world matters. That makes her the best." Rob
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is number one cuz she is so very pretty and fun and she is totally
adorable & totally awesome and I can't take my eyes off her and she's kind
to animals and she's misunderstood and she's hot and she's funny and 20th
Century Woman was born of her! We love Harleanie!" Tony
(UK) on Jean Harlow
"She's simply the best." Salvatore
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"If there ever was an angel truly so was Jean Harlow and she will always
be remembered as the blonde bombshell. Some try to copy but they just can't.
She lived a short life and will be remembered forever. Jean Harlow is truly an
American film icon and we will always remember her for her presence in life
and on the big screen, so on my behalf and every Jean Harlow fan... we love
you, we miss you, and we will all meet one day in the heavens... I still pray
for you "BABY." Jasmine
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Beauty!" Alyssa
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is one of the most beautiful women I have seen in the 1930's. She is
a big inspiration to me! I love her work and her acting and just everything
about her. She really was the original bombshell. She is my role model. I hope
to have success just as she did! She is the best. I love you, Jean Harlow!"
Jacquelyn (USA) on Jean Harlow
"Despite the sexy image she portrayed, there was a child like innocence
about her. If you look carefully at her face in that widely publicized photo
of her all in white on a white rug, if you really look carefully at her face
in that picture, you can see the little girl that was consumed by the sexy
image." Marie
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"... because she was so amazing on and off screen. Her life was so short
and yet she was able to make an amazing impact on Hollywood history. Her
screen presence was incomparable and her beauty unique in so many ways.
Despite a tragic private life she light up the screen, and also became the
first actress in Hollywood history to survive a public scandal (the suicide of
her then husband Paul Bern.) It would be amazing if the public now could
recognize and remember the most talented actress in Hollywood history." Maura
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is beautiful, timeless, funny and an original." Jessi
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Jean Harlow was the original bombshell blonde. Her charm and wit, and
ravishing good looks won the hearts of thousands. Originally dismissed as an
actress, Jean Harlow persevered and proved the critics wrong with her
illuminating performances in of 36 movies. Being only 18 when she landed the
role in Hell's Angels she unfalteringly delivered a line that would become
infamous; "Would you be shocked if I changed into something more
comfortable?" I was captivated with the tiny vixen the first time I saw
her when I watched Red Dust, and she has been my favorite Diva from there on
out. No other woman-of-the-screen has possessed the right balance of wit,
charm, beauty, femininity and powerful seduction as Harlow. She was truly one
of a kind... Sometimes a fire just burns too brightly to burn for long. May
her memory live on." Göran
(Sweden) on Jean Harlow
"She has it all!" Danielle
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She had it all way before anyone had anything else!" Wayne
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Sexiest Goddess ever!" S.D.
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"... because there will never be another like her. A genuine original,
beautiful, and a comic genius." Anna
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is just fascinating to watch on film, great comedienne, a naiveté
about her, beautiful, talented, that platinum hair, tragic life, what isn't
there?" Daisy
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She's so lovely." Chris
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"For me Ms. Harlow started it all. For if there had not been the great
Ms. Harlow we would not have had the Love Goddess Marilyn Monroe. So I take my
hat off to you, Ms. Harlow, for being the greatest Hollywood Glamour Queen." Hollis
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"All the others pale in comparison! And what staying power! Gone for so
long, yet so well remembered by those who knew her." Ken
(Australia) on Jean Harlow
"Jean Harlow is an absolute by which others are measured by - she is the
original and the best. Her story is also especially poignant - illustrating
that all too often greatness comes from personal pain." John
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was an original." Talia
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"I think she has a great sense of humor. I love the way she saw and lived
her life just doing whatever made her happy and felt good. Her icy white
blonde hair and big green eyes are just so striking. She's a goddess!" Brea
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"... because she is the epitome of a what every woman would want to be...
sultry and yet had a lot of class." Barbara
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Jean's the finest representative of Hollywood's Golden Age." Caroline
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Temperament, grace, and beauty all in one lady." Melanie
(Germany) on Jean Harlow
"I saw the films Hold Your Man and Saratoga with Clark Gable on her side
and both played so beautifully. And as I knew that Jean died during the
filming of Saratoga and was so young, I started crying." Robbie
(UK) on Jean Harlow
"She is so sexy and I love her eye brows and her cupid lips. No other
actress has her sexiness and funniness, how she looks her co stars up and down
in rage and toots her nose up to the high heavens! She is the Platinum Daddy!" Angelia
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Just so young and just so tragic when she died. Absolutely beautiful in
any era." Dimas
(Brazil) on Jean Harlow
"The Best!" Brenda
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was the diva. Her and Marilyn Monroe were it. There has never been
anyone, and never will be, to live up to Miss Harlow.
When you think, sex movie goddess, diva... her name is the top of the line--
forever." Lucie
(Canada) on Jean Harlow
"The original blond bombshell! Very lovely, with a wonderfully quick wit." Synde
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She has everything. Overcame much. Died tragically. Had the respect of
all who mattered." Katherine
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She's got class!" Misea
(Romania) on Jean Harlow
"... because she is beautiful." Trippy
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She possessed the style and sophisticated elegance so many others have
imitated. What she had no one has ever duplicated." Jessamine
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"... because along with being gorgeous and being a great actress she had
a great sense of humor." Lisa
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is one of my favorites because I was not yet born in this world to
see her acting skills on the silver screen but definitely as I search the net
on this diva... her sex appeal, her glamour and her exclusiveness, definitely
she deserves it and it is so sad that she left this earth so soon but God
always takes back his angels and she was one of them. Thank you, Jean! And I
indeed celebrate her 91st birthday." Matt
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She has that certain something... combines glamour with likeability." Jodi
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Voting for the Hometown Girl." Jacquelyn
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was family; my maternal grandmother's cousin." Paul
(UK) on Jean Harlow
"There just isn't anyone quite like Jean Harlow. Even today you look at
her and there is something besides beauty. Underneath it all I think Jean was
kindhearted and a real pal." Dennis
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is the most sexual and beautiful woman in the world!" Amy
(Canada) on Jean Harlow
"Jean had a sweet but sexy personality! She was very well known and
liked! When she died, the MGM lot was silent! " Julie
(UK) on Jean Harlow
"... because she's a great role model. She always played strong
tough-talking female characters - an inspiration to young girls, and the fact
that she inspired Marilyn Monroe of wonderful she was." Robbie
(USA) on Jean Harlow

adorable! She' squeezy! I love Jean! She so pretty!" Esther
Gina (USA) on Jean Harlow

clothes and make up." Daisy

doll!" Gennine

"I love her movies and her life was so tragic." Kelly
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Come on, who is sexier than the original blonde bombshell? I love Jean
Harlow! She was beautiful, extremely talented, funny, sweet, and complicated.
She was the first and last true blonde bombshell." Sylvie
(Belgium) on Jean Harlow
"I don't know why! My English vocabulary is too small to explain it." Steve
(Canada) on Jean Harlow
"We'll never know just how great she could have been. What she
accomplished at a young age serves to wet our appetite for what she may have
been." Teresa
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"... because there's never been anyone quite like her, and her bright
star was put out too soon. She was so beautiful, and kind and she'll never be
forgotten. I just adore her." Brenda
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was utterly un-self-conscious, a free spirit and had wonderful
comedic timing. Had she lived, I believe she would have become one of the
greatest comediennes Hollywood ever had in pictures." Dawn
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was unpretentious, carefree and just a little girl at heart." Ron
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is awesome. I don't think she really cared how famous she was. I
love her movies." Sarah
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is pure talent and beauty. She's my great grandmother and even
though I've never met her, I love her!" Sandy
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Jean Harlow is my favorite diva bacause she was not exactly like her
movie characters or her image. She was a sweet person who just wanted to be
happy. And she was like you and me!" Spreng
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She had beauty, brains and grace under pressure." Delilah
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"What can you say about her... she was the sex symbol of the 30s and a
great comedienne... her mere presence illuminated the silver screen." Sheila
(UK) on Jean Harlow
"She is 'the' diva and I love her quotes." Ken
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Those eyes, those spider fingers, that presence! Quintessential Diva!" Robert
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"The best of the best!" Judy
(USA) on Jean Harlow

as you can see. I love Jean Harlow!" Jen
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Before Marilyn there was Jean Harlow... my God, it astounds me how many
people are ignorant of this radiant tragic beauty... Marilyn was a selfish,
self involved, neurotic twit... Jean was and will forever be a sweet,
thoughtful, childlike soul." Robbie
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"The brightest, loveliest, sexiest lady of the silver screen. She got the
thing rolling in the 30's and all y'all wannabe's gotta recognize the real
holy blast of forever that is the foxiest female created... Jean Harlow!" Daniel
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"I hope I have enough room to say what I want to say: I have
collected all of her movies, pictures, books about her and with pictures of
her, record from her movies and anything I can get a hold of. I think
she was a very beautiful woman, it's just sad that she had to leave us at such
a young age. I would loved to have met her, she was probably a warm loving
person. That's all I have to say, I could say more but..." Cherie
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"When Jean Harlow is on-screen, it's as though the screen is illuminated.
She makes you stop everything you're doing just to watch her for one second.
She's captivating. You can't take your eyes off of her. She's funny,
beautiful, talented, glamorous, intriguing, misunderstood, cunning, crafty,
and sweet. She'll wrap a man around her finger in a moment. She is Jean
Harlow. She is my favorite diva." Leticia
(USA) on
Jean Harlow
"First blonde bomb shell! Hell of an actress!" Elizabeth
(USA) on
Jean Harlow
"She began the 'platinum blonde' genre; no reports of her acting like a prima
donna; she was a good actress and had a lot of personality which comes
across even just in photos. Definitely one of my heroes." Jean
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"... because she was a sweet girl and a good actress who never got the
recognition she deserved and I'll keep voting for her." Pedro

on Jean Harlow
"Jean was an intelligent actress who could belt out a line of dialogue
better than any before or since." Ann
Marie
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"True original, unbelievably funny. Totally at ease with her body and
sexuality. Would have been great to buddy with trade dish and dirt but always
with laughter and smiles. Sadness and trouble didn't stop her from having a
great time while she lived." Jerry
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Her style and grace!" Rose
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is the number one diva of all time because she was the original
platinum blonde before any one ever dared to be one. She embodied a sex symbol
of all time." Joan
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was my very first 'princess' when I was growing up during the
depression. She was the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Like Elvis she
had a charisma that no one could explain, but one could see the 'Baby' had it
all and more. Being only 6 when she died you can see what an impression she
made on me as now my age of 69 she is still the most beautiful of all." Jean
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"... because she is the most beautiful talented actress ever!" Gaston
(Belgium) on Jean Harlow

beautiful and the best comedienne in movie history. I love her!" Marianne
(USA) on Jean Harlow
”She
was so beautiful, and had so much natural appeal."
Ronald
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She has always been my favorite actress. I thought it was cool that our
birthdays were almost on the same day. Jean's is March 3 and mine the 13th. I
love the movie 'Platinum Blond'." Diane
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She made no bad movies ... there are tons of bad movies today ... Hers were the best!" Carolyn
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"In her short time on earth, she exuded wittiness, extreme sexuality,
radiance and incredible energy and talent. Her life was too short and she was
short changed in the love dept. Had she lived, Jean would have continued to
deliver hilarious lines and given much to our world." Ron
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was beautiful, smart, sexy and gave some wonderful performances in
films like 'Dinner at Eight', 'Red Dust', and 'Hell's Angels'. She died much
too young, 12 years before I was born." Lisa
(USA) on Jean Harlow
Jean Harlow was the most glamorous, the most electric actress ever to grace
the screen, and a tender hearted friend to all who knew her. You can't
say that about very many actresses, if any.
Tawny
(USA) on Jean Harlow
She is the original blonde bombshell! Nobody can beat that. Jean will always
be a legend, she is so amazingly beautiful. Hats off to Harlow!
David
(France) on Jean Harlow
"She is the most beautiful of them all!" Julie
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was different than all the other actresses in her time. She changed
peoples minds." Mike
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was always treated as an underdog and never treated fairly. It seems
people always were taking advantage of her." Joan
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She is the most beautiful woman there has ever been. I remember seeing
her movies when I was a little girl and remember how happy it made me just to
look at her. Of course, I was too young to know what the movie was about but
not too young to know beauty when I saw it. Still watch her movies and still
enjoy them. As the old saying goes "they don't make them like that
anymore"!"
Mary
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"... because she was and always will remain beautiful!"
Gerald
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Harlow was like a platinum meteor soaring at great
speed. She had looks, comic timing, personality
plus, and was, from all available accounts, a
'regular guy' with her co-stars and film crew. Her
tragic death only adds to her mystery and allure.
She's number one in my opinion."
Sheri
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"I love the characters she played. She had spunk on and off the screen!" Dianna
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"If she could inspire a goddess like Marilyn Monroe then Jean Harlow must
be the ultimate goddess without a doubt and how could anyone compare to blonde
beautiful and dangerous?" Vanda
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was an original ... pure & natural. She did not think of herself
as a star. She considered herself very lucky. She was a natural in doing
comedy. Young & beautiful." Bill
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was the first and best bombshell to grace the silver screen!" Greg
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Jean Harlow was everything that a diva should be. She was beautiful,
charming, and sexy." Peter
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"Jean Harlow was young,
blonde, a trend-setter, glamorous, ahead-of-her-time, sassy, funny, sexy, and
spirited. During the Depression Era, her image was a welcome distraction. She
could drink with the boys and turn their heads at the same time. She was
definitely a gifted comedienne. Her premature death at 26 in 1937 was a
tragedy, but thankfully, her films survive to this day."
Justin
(USA) on Jean Harlow
"She was the original
blonde sex goddess ... before Marilyn, before Madonna, it was Jean."
