A Rare Recording of Film Icon Jean Harlow

Jean Harlow, born Harlean Harlow Carpenter (March 3, 1911 - June 7, 1937), from Kansas City, MO, was an American actress known for her portrayal of "bad girl" characters. Often nicknamed the "Blonde Bombshell" and the "Platinum Blonde," Harlow was the leading sex symbol of the early 1930s and one of the defining figures of the pre-Code era of American cinema. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Harlow number 22 on its greatest female screen legends list. In the following recording from 1936, Harlow is interviewed by Elsa Schalert, a radio show host and Los Angeles Times writer.
