  • 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.

This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyeditMetadata, version of citation a chapter and published similar papers in at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive Lasting Screen Stars: Images that Fade and Personas that Endure. The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-40733-7_6 ‘What Price Widowhood?’: The Faded Stardom of Norma Shearer Lies Lanckman In July 1934, Photoplay magazine featured an article entitled ‘The Real First Lady of Film’, introducing the piece as follows: The First Lady of the Screen – there can be only one – who is she? Her name is not Greta Garbo, or Katharine Hepburn, not Joan Crawford, Ruth Chatterton, Janet Gaynor or Ann Harding. It’s Norma Shearer (p. 28). Originally from Montréal, Canada, Norma Shearer signed her first MGM contract at age twenty. By twenty-five, she had married its most promising producer, Irving Thalberg, and by thirty-five, she had been widowed through the latter’s untimely death, ultimately retiring from the screen forever at forty. During the intervening twenty years, Shearer won one Academy Award and was nominated for five more, built up a dedicated, international fan base with an active fan club, was consistently featured in fan magazines, and starred in popular and critically acclaimed films throughout the silent, pre-Code and post-Code eras. Shearer was, at the height of her fame, an institution; unfortunately, her career is rarely as well-remembered as those of her contemporaries – including many of the stars named above.

  • 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.

  • Our County, Our Story; Portage County, Wisconsin
    Our County Our Story PORTAGE COUNTY WISCONSIN BY Malcolm Rosholt Charles M. White Memorial Public LibrarJ PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STEVENS POINT, \VISCONSIN 1959 Copyright, 1959, by the PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AT WORZALLA PUBLISHING COMPANY STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN FOREWORD With the approach of the first frost in Portage County the leaves begin to fall from the white birch and the poplar trees. Shortly the basswood turns yellow and the elm tree takes on a reddish hue. The real glory of autumn begins in October when the maples, as if blushing in modesty, turn to gold and crimson, and the entire forest around is aflame with color set off against deeper shades of evergreens and newly-planted Christmas trees. To me this is the most beautiful season of the year. But it is not of her beauty only that I write, but of her colorful past, for Portage County is already rich in history and legend. And I share, in part, at least, the conviction of Margaret Fuller who wrote more than a century ago that "not one seed from the past" should be lost. Some may wonder why I include the names listed in the first tax rolls. It is part of my purpose to anchor these names in our history because, if for no other reas­ on, they were here first and there can never be another first. The spellings of names and places follow the spellings in the documents as far as legibility permits. Some no doubt are incorrect in the original entry, but the major­ ity were probably correct and since have changed, which makes the original entry a matter of historic significance.

Paul Bern: The Life and Famous Death of the MGM Director and Husband of Harlow. Jefferson: Mcfarland, 2008. 396 pp. $45.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-7864-3963-8. Reviewed by Yves Laberge (Université Laval, Département de sociologie)Published on H-TGS (December, 2010) Commissioned by Alexander Freund The Man Who Was Jean Harlow's Husband This overlooked book is not a scholarly essay, but rather a very detailed biography of famous media mogul and film producer Paul Bern (1889-1932), the “Number Two” at Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios. Born in northern Germany not far from Hamburg, Bern succeeded in Hollywood like many other Germans did during the silent era. As E. J. Fleming puts it, Bern was a beloved figure in the studios for all his life, but his reputation changed completely the day he died; he fell into disgrace and became infamous (p. 1). In his book, Fleming revisits Bern’s life, career, successes, and death. To most people in the ephemeral world of celebrities, he remains, as the title indicates, a film producer and the second husband of the famous actress Jean Harlow (1911-37). Bern’s original name was Paul Levy; his family emigrated to New York City in 1898. Bern did not need much time to secure a position at the center of the Hollywood community. In the mid 1920s, his friends were the most influential directors in the business (Charlie Chaplin and Ernst Lubitsch), and his powerful position at MGM allowed him to date the prettiest actresses of the day, from Lya De Putti and Mary Duncan to Jeannette Loff and Joan Crawford.

  • 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.
