  • Styling by the Sea 140 Years of Beachwear
    Styling by the Sea 140 Years of Beachwear Beach Fashions in the 1930s The stock market crash on Tuesday, October 29, 1929, and the subsequent deterioration in the value of business assets over the following three years, had a devastating impact on the economies of United States and the world at large. The high flying,care-free days of the Roaring ‘20s were over and with them went the risk taking and pushing of boundaries that characterized the lives of people during the decade. The Great Depression had begun and would continue for ten years. Spending on luxuries declined as disposable cash became scarce and people grew more fiscally conservative. Concern about employment and their long term financial prospects became paramount as the atmosphere of the country became serious and sober. Businesses closed and jobs were cut by many companies due to falling demand for their products. This caused a domino effect that resulted in economic stagnation and the deep economic depression. Luckily the pleasures derived from time spent on the beach remained an affordable and welcome means of escape from the harsh realities of everyday life. The cover of the September 3, 1932 issue of The Saturday Evening Post presented above shows a rollicking image of life at the shore at the close of summer on Labor Day Weekend. The lifeguard sits calmly on his stand, eyes closed, while pretty girls preen, an amorous swain serenades his gal who is attired in the latest “beach pajamas”, boys play leapfrog, dogs bark, babies shovel sand into pales and bathers, both large and small, hold on to a rope to save them from being knocked over by waves.

  • Jean Harlow ~ 20 Films
    Jean Harlow ~ 20 Films Harlean Harlow Carpenter - later Jean Harlow - was born in Kansas City, Missouri on 3 March 1911. After being signed by director Howard Hughes, Harlow's first major appearance was in Hell's Angels (1930), followed by a series of critically unsuccessful films, before signing with Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer in 1932. Harlow became a leading lady for MGM, starring in a string of hit films including Red Dust (1932), Dinner At Eight (1933), Reckless (1935) and Suzy (1936). Among her frequent co-stars were William Powell, Spencer Tracy and, in six films, Clark Gable. Harlow's popularity rivalled and soon surpassed that of her MGM colleagues Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer. By the late 1930s she had become one of the biggest movie stars in the world, often nicknamed "The Blonde Bombshell" and "The Platinum Blonde" and popular for her "Laughing Vamp" movie persona. She died of uraemic poisoning on 7 June 1937, at the age of 26, during the filming of Saratoga. The film was completed using doubles and released a little over a month after Harlow's death. In her brief life she married and lost three husbands (two divorces, one suicide) and chalked up 22 feature film credits (plus another 21 short / bit-part non-credits, including Chaplin's City Lights). The American Film Institute (damning with faint praise?) ranked her the 22nd greatest female star in Hollywood history. LIBERTY, BACON GRABBERS and NEW YORK NIGHTS (all 1929) (1) Liberty (2) Bacon Grabbers (3) New York Nights (Harlow left-screen) A lucky few aspiring actresses seem to take the giant step from obscurity to the big time in a single bound - Lauren Bacall may be the best example of that - but for many more the road to recognition and riches is long and grinding.

    THE RADA THE R | SCOOP Hotel California Hollywood insiders spill their secrets and never-before-told tales about L.A.’s hottest hideout. | By Sam Wasson | From Paris to Poughkeepsie, every city is in perpetual search of a metaphor for itself, but few are more conflicted about choosing their postcard than Los Angeles.

  • The Life and Death of Jean Harlow, Writes of One Particularly Memorable
    Episode #7 Show Notes: The Girl from Missouri In the 1930s Jean Harlow was possibly the biggest star the world had ever known. The original “blond bombshell,” her fresh, sultry look was one that drove men wild and women to peroxide. By her own admission, her acting ability was somewhat lacking. “I’m the worst actress that was ever in pictures,” she had said, and more than once. To her legions of fans, it didn’t matter. She had an indefinable “it” quality that drew people to her like a magnet. Her assessment of her own acting ability was too extreme—she wasn’t the worst actress who ever lived. She wasn’t the best, either. She was an astute observer, though, and as she made a study of her co-stars, her performances did improve over time. In some of her later films, like Wife vs. Secretary and Libeled Lady (two of my favorites) she was quite good—and anything she lacked in acting ability she made up for in sex appeal. She was pretty, yes, but more than that, she was overtly and brazenly sexual. It was well known, for example, that she never wore underwear, which was, at times, shockingly obvious when she would walk on the set wearing diaphanous gowns. David Stenn, in his book Bombshell: The Life and Death of Jean Harlow, writes of one particularly memorable incident that occurred on the set of the film Red Headed Woman: “Most astounding to MGM crews was Harlow’s attitude toward her body. Told by Jack Conway [the director] to remove her jacket in a scene, she obeyed—and wore nothing underneath…Visitors on the set scarcely believed their eyes…but the resulting commotion puzzled Harlow.

  • Genre Films: OLLI: Spring 2021: Weeks 1 & 2: Week 1: the PUBLIC ENEMY (1931) Directed by William A
    Genre Films: OLLI: Spring 2021: Weeks 1 & 2: week 1: THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931) directed by William A. Wellman cast: James Cagney, Edward Woods, Jean Harlow, Joan Blondell, Beryl Mercer, Donald Cook, Mae Clarke, Leslie Fenton, Robert Emmett O'Connor, Murray Kinnell From filmsite.org: “The Public Enemy (1931) is one of the earliest and best of the gangster films from Warner Bros. in the thirties. The film's screenplay (by John Bright and Kubec Glasmon), which received the film's only Academy Award nomination, was based upon their novel Beer and Blood. Unfortunately, the film wasn't even given a Best Picture nomination, nor was Cagney rewarded with a nomination for his dynamic and kinetic performance. Jean Harlow's small role as a sexy call-girl was her only screen appearance with Cagney and her only lead role with Warners. Director William Wellman's pre-code, box-office smash, shot in less than a month at a cost of approximately $151,000, was released at approximately the same time as another classical gangster film – Little Caesar (1930/31) that starred Edward G. Robinson as a petty thief whose criminal ambitions led to his inevitable downfall. The Public Enemy was even tougher, more violent and realistic (released before the censorship codes were strictly enforced), although most of the violence is again off-screen. “The lead character is portrayed as a sexually magnetic, cocky, completely amoral, emotionally brutal, ruthless, and terribly lethal individual. However, the protagonist (a cold-blooded, tough- as-nails racketeer and "public enemy") begins his life, not as a hardened criminal, but as a young mischievous boy in pre-Prohibition city streets, whose early environment clearly contributes to the evolving development of his life of adult crime and his inevitable gruesome death.

When her lover, William Powell, visited her in the hospital, she mentioned her blurred vision. “You look fuzzy,” she said. A surprised Powell tried to joke when he lifted his hand and asked Harlow how many fingers she saw. The twenty-six-year-old actress could not see any. During the public viewing at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, her casket was open for only an hour. A white gardenia was placed in her hand along with a note, guessed to be from Powell—“Goodnight, my dearest darling.” & Last night I stepped from the sea dressed only in my favorite perfume.

  • How Clark Gable Sorta, Almost Could Have Paid a Visit to Douglas Lake…
    HOW CLARK GABLE SORTA, ALMOST COULD HAVE PAID A VISIT TO DOUGLAS LAKE…. ……...MAYBE By Jan Huntley Through the years, many interesting stories have circulated about unusual events, famous visitors, or even shocking happenings here at Douglas Lake. Most of them, not surprisingly, have turned out to be not quite what they were said to be. And the occasional one turned out to be a purely imaginative invention. In that latter category was the one about the British ship supposedly constructed on the lake that wound up being sunk because it was too large to make the voyage to Burt Lake via the Maple River. That brings us to the one about Clark Gable and his surprise visit to Douglas Lake one summer’s day during the 1930s. My mother was a major contributor to this one, and she repeated it gleefully many times during my childhood and thereafter. The substance of the tale was that Clark Gable, a movie idol of his day, had been visiting Mackinac Island in the mid-1930s, at which time he had made the acquaintance of one or more Douglas Lake residents. Since no names of these local residents were ever provided, however, the story was difficult to corroborate. The tale continued with a description of a promise purportedly made to this/these local resident(s) that the actor would have his pilot fly over the lake when he left Mackinac Island and would have him waggle the wings and buzz the cabin of his new friend(s) as a farewell salute. Had all gone according to plan, of course, there would not have been much of a story to tell.
