Jean Harlow came to embody an era in film because of a $250 bet: her friends dared the shy beauty to become an extra. Intimate Portrait: Jean Harlow is rich in such detail, relying heavily on an interview with biographer David Stenn, whose Bombshell: The Life and Death of Jean Harlow was published in 1993. It also includes memories of a childhood friend and the hairdressers who claim they invented the world's first platinum blond. Her 26 years were haunted by illness, scandal (her third husband killed himself), two abortions (for the sake of career), and a mother so controlling she bordered on abusive. During her seven years in Hollywood, Harlow struggled for respect and finally achieved it, finding onscreen chemistry with Clark Gable, evident in 1932's Red Dust. Plenty of movie clips, publicity stills, and a 1936 radio interview with Harlow help bring her spirit back to life. --Valerie J. Nelson
