138 – Jean Harlow: Drew Barrymore's Connections to the Iconic Star

Decades before Drew Barrymore was given the title of “blonde bombshell”, another iconic star was associated with that moniker. This week we are joined by writer and historian Sophia D’Aurelio Adair to discuss the original Plantinum Blonde, Jean Harlow. We gush over the process of being researchers & collectors and go through a list of interesting parallels our favorite subjects share (like their Pisces star signs and unconventional relationships with their mom-managers). Plus we get into the Barrymore co-star connections, our suspected homage to Ms. Harlow in Batman Forever, and their shared responsibility for ruining the eyebrows of several generations of ladies. We hope you enjoy this fun episode about the woman Drew herself once called “a dynamic movie star and comedienne.”
