Format:Hardcover
This book is incredible from cover to cover!! Darrell Rooney is one of the foremost collectors of Harlow memorabilia and Mark Vieira is one of the foremost authorities on classic Hollywood. Together they have created a fascinating portrait of Screen Legend Jean Harlow, this book is filled with rare, never before seen photos and tons of information never before available to readers. You get a real chance to experience a slice of Harlow's life, where she ate, socialized, lived etc. If you have ever wanted to find out more about the Silver Screen legend, this book will be your guide, the text is well researched and wonderfully written and the pictures are phenominal!!

Many Congratulations to Darrell & Mark on a job well done. Fans have been asking for a large-format Harlow picture bio for DECADES, and now it's finally here.....and well worth the wait. Every picture has been meticulously chosen to avoid the redundancy of giving the fans photos they've seen over and over on Ebay and in other books. I've been a devoted Harlow fanatic for 15 years, and I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer number of photos I've never seen included throughout this book.
Mark & Darrell have not only done Harlow & her fans a great service, but all students of early 20th century cinema will find much to cherish here. This tome is not only mandatory for Harlow devotees, but should be required reaading for anyone interested in the day to day life of a major superstar in the era of the studio system.

Very beautiful but hard to read the text
I loved the pictures, and the text is okay - but only okay because the text is printed in gold - very light gold, and difficult to read. But the pictures are marvelous.
