Blonde Bombshell Jean Harlow

The original "Platinum Blonde" sex symbol and American film actress! Say hello to Jean Harlow! Who is/was Jean Harlow? This blonde bombshell surely set the stage for blondes as a sex symbol.

Harlow was a bit of a trailblazer in the debate that blondes are sexier and have more fun!

Why this post? Well, I've written other posts on blonde "sex symbols" such as Jayne Mansfield, Mamie Van Doren, Joey Heatherton, and Carroll Baker [who played in the Harlow movie about her life].

You can't talk about the blonde bombshells and sex symbols of the 1950s, 1960s or today without mentioning the one and only, original "platinum blonde," Jean Harlow.

I loved what I saw of Jean Harlow through her films. She was feisty, opinionated, and an original who died at much too early an age.

If you know nothing about this American film actress and blonde sex symbol, you owe it to yourself to read one of her books or see one of her movies! There are several excellent books and movies below to pick from!

She was original, the only and only "Platinum Blonde!"
