Bombshell, MGM 1933

Jean plays Lola Burns a film star who tries to better herself despite her family and her co-workers trying to keep her down. This film is so like her real life that it must have been a difficult experience for her. However, this is one of Harlow's best performances. She truly shows her comedic genious with lines clearly and quickly quipped (listen below).

The cast includes:

Jean Harlow .... Lola Burns
Lee Tracy .... Space Frank Buck Hanlon
Frank Morgan .... Pops
Franchot Tone .... Gifford Middleton
Pat O'Brien .... Jim Brogan
Una Merkel .... Mac
Ted Healy .... Junior
Ivan Lebedeff .... Hugo Marquis De Benelli
Isabel Jewell .... A Girlfriend
Louise Beavers .... Loretta
Leonard Carey .... Winters
Mary Forbes .... Mrs. Middleton
C. Aubrey Smith .... Mr. Middleton
June Brewster .... Alice Cole
