Co-presented with the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles.

Darrell Rooney, co-author of the new book Harlow in Hollywood, delivers a slideshow on Jean Harlow, the first blonde sex symbol. Rooney and co-author Mark A. Vieira sign books at 3:00 PM in the lobby. Following the presentation on Harlow and booksigning is a screening of the 1933 film BOMBSHELL.

Centennial Tribute!

BOMBSHELL

1933, Warner Bros., 96 min, USA, Dir: Victor Fleming

Victor Fleming’s positively breakneck-pace satire of Hollywood. Jean Harlow is at her peak as harried Lola Burns, a movie matinee idol being driven crazy by relentless press agent Lee Tracy (who also has the hots for her). The movie she’s shooting with director heartthrob Pat O’Brien is modeled after RED DUST. Naughty double entendres fly fast and furious in this razor-sharp and unabashedly shameless screwball comedy produced by M-G-M.
