5.0 out of 5 stars How To Write A Biography..., 20 Nov 1997
By A Customer
If only more biographies were like this! Eve Golden's "Platinum Girl: The Life And Legends Of Jean Harlow", should be held up as an example of how to fairly write and research a biography. By shooting down the oft-repeated, sensationalized Irving Shulman version of Harlow's short life with fact after sobering fact, Ms. Golden gives the reader the rare opportunity to get a true glimpse of the woman behind the Bombshell image. And what's most revealing is the fact that for the first time, an author has focused more on Harlow's startling career rather than her (often fictionalized) sex life. This, on top of the lush photographs, telling anecdotes and clear writing, make this a must read for both diehard Harlow fans and those who just want to know more about who this vital, silver-haired star of the screen was.
