Episode #8: More with Ms. Harlow

It turns out Jennifer wasn't quite ready to say goodbye to Jean Harlow. Since our last episode Jennifer read Harlow's one and only novel, Today is Tonight, and...goodness.  There's a lot to talk about right there.  Today is Tonight is a rare book, long out of print, so there isn't a lot of information available on the Internet about it.  In tonight's episode we take a little stroll through that novel, lingering around some of the more embarrassing passages.  Jennifer then profiles Harlow's signature piece of jewelry--and a super cute item of Harlow's that was up for auction a few years ago.  And, of course, there's Saratoga, Jean Harlow's last film.  Jennifer couldn't bring herself to watch it for our last episode ("It's just too sad!"), but she grabbed a box of tissues and watched it from start to finish.  Would you believe Harlow's last line in that film--or any film--is "goodbye"?  We say farewell, too, but not before Jennifer shares her impressions of Jean Harlow's final romantic comedy.  We wrap it all up with Jennifer's Favorite Thing of the Week.
