Thinking about Jean Harlow today, on what would have been her 115th birthday! Her star burned brightly but tragically short, as she only lived until age 26, but her legacy lives on, and she went on to inspire other greats such as Marilyn Monroe! #jeanharlow #oldhollywood

Lupe Velez: The Burning of the Mexican Spitfire Velez's story has a lot of people that wronged her, from bad boyfriends to equally bad press

It's a new Women They Warned You About. Before Bad Bunny made people big mad at the Super Bowl, I wanted to look at Lupe Velez, an actress labeled difficult for being too loud, too brash, and too Latina. Read it at The Film Maven.
