Jean Harlow, Kansas City society girl, was willing to spurn an inheritance to try her luck in motion pictures but now she doesn’t have to do so and is getting her fling at a picture career at the same time. Yesterday the girl disclosed that her grandfather has changed his mind about his will after a visit to Hollywood.
Intent on a film career, the girl came to Hollywood following her graduation from school. Her grandfather, she said, had heard about Hollywood so he came to the Coast to do a little checking.
“He didn’t find it half so bad as it was painted and I’m going to have my chance at a moving-picture career and my inheritance, too,” Miss Harlow said yesterday.
While she is working in pictures, however, her grandfather has discontinued her allowance. She has been signed by Paramount for a featured role in Clara Bow’s forthcoming production.
**(PS: While I’ll try not to make a habit out of correcting slight inaccuracies in these clippings, I want to make it clear that Harlow came back to California after marrying at sixteen and subsequently dropping out of school. She never graduated.)
