Aside from her platinum blonde
locks, Jean Harlow's most striking feature was her eyebrows.
Thanks to studio make-up departments, they practically took
on a personality of their own.
Here's a look at the evolution of one of classic
Hollywood's most famous facial trademarks:
From the pages of PHOTOPLAY April 1934: "Jean
Harlow and Clara Bow are interesting eyebrow cases, because they
haven't any. That is, they keep them removed when working in
pictures to facilitate make-up. These girls use a fine pencil-line
brow, you know. Jean's are good on the screen for her type."
