Announcing Jean Harlow Month


For quite a while I have been wanting to focus on a star a month, with several posts on a particular star or star couple, their family life, films, and other things about them. I thought the new year would be the perfect time to start this but January had several blogathons I had already signed up for and in February I wanted to focus on Oscars-related posts.

Since Jean Harlow's birthday is March 3rd and as I have recently watched several of her later films, I thought she would be a good star to begin with. Here's the line-up of posts I have scheduled for the month (subject to change and not necessarily in this order):

Jean Harlow Films Being Shown on TCM in March

The Early Films of Jean Harlow
