Iron Man

N.p. N.p., Circa 1980s. Double-weight publicity photograph from the 1931 film, showing actress Jean Harlow. Originally shot circa 1930 by Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones, and later struck from the negative circa 1980s by author and Hollywood historian David Chierchetti. With original borders from the negative still present, a trademark of Chierchetti's somewhat "punk" style of photo development.

Ray Jones was born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s.

"Blonde Bombsell" Jean Harlow was one of the defining actresses of pre-Code American cinema and a leading sex symbol of the early 1930s. Harlow was only in the film industry for nine years before her untimely death of kidney failure in 1937 at the age of 26, while filming the romantic comedy "Saratoga" with Clark Gable. Her best remembered films include "Hell's Angels" (1930), "Red-Headed Woman" (1932), "Dinner at Eight" (1933), "Reckless" (1935), and "Suzy" (1936).
