Are you a fan of Old Hollywood movies? Today we celebrate the life of Jean Harlow, who was born on this day in 1911 in Kansas City, Missouri.

She was born Harlean Harlow Carpenter to Mont Clair Carpenter, a dentist, and Jean Poe Harlow, the daughter of a wealthy real estate broker. The unhappy marriage had been arranged by her maternal grandfather, Skip Harlow.

During the 1930s, Harlow had become one of the biggest movie stars in the world. She became known for her “Laughing Vamp” persona and acquired the nicknames the “Blonde Bombshell” and the “Platinum Blonde.” She would star in six films opposite Clark Gable before her sudden death at the age of 26.

Jean Harlow is connected to over 88 million people in Geni’s World Family Tree. How are you related?
