Jean Harlow's stunning blonde looks and shockingly blatant sexuality made her Hollywood's first and most sensational sex goddess. In all the wild, free-wheeling history of Hollywood since her death in 1937, no star has made such an impression.

Despite her dubious talents as an actress, Harlow won the hearts of the movie-going public. But, like many of the stars that followed her, she found no happiness in her private life. Her husband committed suicide within a month of their wedding, creating endless material for gossip. This book reveals the truth behind this, as well as many other rumours, which surrounded Harlow, including the circumstances behind her premature and needless death at the age of twenty-six.

Über den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 19. Dezember 2017

Verifizierter Kauf

A very interesting alternative story about the one and only Jean Harlow! There are so many detailes that it cannot be only created by the author himself. Clearly not everthing will be true but a lot of things seeming to be quite plausible. The book tells all about her life and the little scandals and situations she went trough...

Disgusting!

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 16. Juli 2011

"How could it be possible for a writer to know so many things that went on behind so many closed doors?" The answer Shulman gives is his allegedly close relationship to Arthur Landau, Jean Harlow's agent. The true answer is: It can't be possible. Shulman calls his book an "intimate" biography which reminds me of the gangster in the Bette Davis picture "Marked Woman" (1937) who knowingly crosses his fingers to indicate (...all that censorship allows...) what is to be done in his "Club Intimate". Unfortunately, Shulman keeps this promise. His "biography" is nothing but a disgusting keyhole perspective of a lusty man which never should have been published, first, because Jean Harlow was dead, and second, because her relatives and friends and ex-husbands were still alive. They got furious, and for good reasons. Everything you didn't want to know about Jean Harlow's breasts (which are called breasts, boobs, boobies etc.) and "nipples", even about her pubic curls, is described in detail. Sure, Jean Harlow was a sex symbol, she seldom wore underwear, but, well, she "put ON something more comfortable", and one may IMAGINE that the most comfortable was underneath... But Shulman leaves just nothing to the reader's imagination. Besides, he always offers his keyhole perspective in situations in which a woman wants to be kept alone or at least not to be torn brutally into the public, e.g. after an allegedly brutal attack by her second husband Paul Bern (where the facts, by the way, are more than doubtful). By doing this, it's Shulman himself who attacks her, who undresses her - who rapes her.

One wonders why Shulman has written this book because he still has some talent in writing (even if it's ghostwriting, i.e. adapting Landau's keyhole stories). And when it comes to the movie industry, he knows what he is writing about. But these talents are wasted because of a tragically paradoxical effect. Shulman tries to come as close as possible to Jean Harlow, he uses as much spoken dialogue as a novelist (and a cheap one - it's just inconceivable that all these words have been spoken in reality), and in the most private situations. But by doing so, he could not be farther away from Jean Harlow! He reduces her to pure sensationalism; she's an object for him, not a subject, not a human being. As a close friend of mine said, he betrays Jean Harlow. Besides, anyone interested in the life and art of Jean Harlow should wonder why many of the so-called scandals Shulman allegedly reveals are not mentioned at all or with completely different facts in other Harlow biographies. The fact that Shulman's book does not contain neither footnotes nor list of references (and that a german location like "Wandsbek" ist written "Wannsback") speaks for itself.

But it can be done better! Jean Harlow was neither saint nor whore, one can square the circle and come as close as possible to her as a human being with a deep insight in what Harlow did, was interested in, thought, how she lived and how her relationships to other persons were. This can be done with respect, but nevertheless a maximum of accuracy, and in doing so, one does not even need to neglect the fact that Harlow sometimes liked to be the blonde bombshell (without being reduced to it) and to keep her underwear in the closet. What was natural for her is pure sensationalism for Shulman. And it's, of course, only one of many aspects of Jean Harlow's personality.

Last but not least, the fact that Shulman is not interested in getting close to Jean Harlow's personality is revealed by the structure of his book. It takes 42 (!) pages before Shulman comes to the classical chronology. On these pages, Shulman describes the whole "story" of Harlow's marriage to Paul Bern and what (allegedly) happened during the wedding night. For anyone who is not at least a little familiar with Jean Harlow's life, the first three chapters are completely out of any context of Harlow's life and personality, thus even more reduced to the voyeuristic aspect which could be directed to any good-looking girl.

If you are really interested in Jean Harlow - well, one may start reading Shulman's book, but just in order to compare it to better ones like those of Eve Golden and Darrell Rooney/Mark A. Vieira. For anyone familiar with the German language, I strongly recommend Bettina Uhlich's biography of Jean Harlow ( Das Leben der Leinwandgöttin Jean Harlow ), because Uhlich achieved at the above-mentioned "squaring of the circle" in the most beautiful, empathetic, but an the same time accurate and respectful way.

An interesting read - but I've since read David Stenn's book and apparently it's much more accurate. Schulman himself admitted that his research had been inadequate.

A good condition book

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 28. Dezember 2015

Verifizierter Kauf

A good condition book. Another sad movie star, whose life didn't seem her own. I don't think Jean Harlow was at all attractive when you compare her to other movie stars of the time, but although her life was short it was interesting but very sad.
