As beautiful platinum blonde Jean Harlow’s (CARROLL BAKER) spectacular and controversial career begins, she is an unknown. She lives with her mother, Mama Jean Bello (ANGELA LANSBURY), and her handsome, opportunistic stepfather, Marino Bello (RAF VALLONE), and works in the movies playing extra and bit parts, A minor Hollywood agent, Arthur Landau (RED BUTTONS), spots her on a film set and gets her a series of comedy roles. Landau soon realizes he has a gold mine in Jean. He reveals his plans for Jean to his wife, (HANNA LANDY), who offers valuable advice. Landau introduces Jean to film star Jack Harrison (MICHAEL CONNORS). Then he arranges for Jean to meet Richard Manley (LESLIE NEILSEN), a top independent producer who is searching for a feminine lead. Landau wins Jean a contract for two hundred dollars a week. Jean’s first picture is a personal defeat. The critics praise the film, but pan her. However, they rave about her body and she is heralded as a sex symbol. The fabulous blonde bombshell is launched! Manley sends her on a personal appearance tour, and she returns to Hollywood a sensational success. In order to sign her with Majestic Studios for more money, Landau succeeds in securing Jean’s release from her contract with Manley. He gets Everett Redman (MARTIN BALSAM), head man at Majestic to buy up her contract. It is here that Jean and Landau meet Redman’s executive right hand, Paul Bern (PETER LAWFORD). Jean becomes a world-wide sensation at Majestic Studios. The Harlow platinum blonde hair style sweeps the globe. Every girl tries to look like Harlow, The gossip columns link her with Harrison, then with Bern. Jean and Paul are married in one of Hollywood’s most highly publicized and spectacular weddings. The world is hardly ready for the shocking news which follows soon after. Paul Bern has committed suicide. Jean is distraught. Despite Landau’s efforts, Jean is inconsolable. Then one night, exhausted by her futile search for self, Jean walks past a theatre where long lines wait to see a Harlow film. She passes unnoticed. And then she is at the sea shore. There is moonlight on the water. The wind catches her dress. She kicks off her shoes and the waves come in crashing in foam around her. Jean falls to her knees, head down, crying, ““Who am I? Jean Harlow? I can’t find her. I can’t find me.” Sirens screech. An ambulance with flashing lights pulls up to the beach, A small crowd has gathered. Jean is in an oxygen tent at the hospital. She murmurs a last farewell to Mama Jean and is gone. And as she passes, we see a background of Jean Harlows; as the eager young girl; the hopeful actress; the star; radiant, full of life—loveable to a world. Lost to herself.
