Summary:
Jean Harlow was an enigma, the original Blonde Bombshell, completely
uninhibited. She made no secret of the fact that she never wore
underwear, bleached her pubic hair to match that on her head - and
was never afraid of showing this to journalists, if they asked. On
the screen she epitomised the fun-loving, wise-cracking
tart-with-a-heart yet away from the spotlight she was nothing like
the public perceived her to be. In this new biography, David Bret
uncovers an unhappy upbringing by an unloving mother and sexually
abusive step-father, her love of older men and the mistreatment she
suffered at their hands, her progression from movie slut to screwball
comedy star, her special relationship with William Powell, how she
was ripped off by the studios, and more. Jean Harlow: Tarnished Angel
is a compelling portrayal of the enigmatic star. David Bret was born
in Paris. His acclaimed books include biographies of Marlene
Dietrich, Morrissey, Freddie Mercury and Edith Piaf among many
others.
