94 years ago in Harlow History, October 19, 1932: Solemn and sad-eyed (but still beautiful) Jean Harlow makes a modest appearance in probate court following her husband Paul Bern’s death the previous month. Here, she was named executrix of his estate. At least the last photograph was taken by Frank Bentley (photo and accompanying credit courtesy TESSA). 97 years ago in Harlow History, October 19, 1929: Laurel and Hardy’s two-reeler Roach comedy, BACON GRABBERS (1929), is released. In it is a teenage and shockingly blonde Jean Harlow, even under her dark cloche, who happily closes the reel by coming home to proudly inform her husband (Edgar Kennedy) she’s paid off the radio these two bumbling repo men had just destroyed. (I don’t think I need to make a disclaimer for century-old spoilers). The full short is free to watch on YouTube, etc.
