Beautiful vintage matte-finish 10.25 x 13.25 full-length photo of Harlow holding a riding crop as she stands in the doorway of her home, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To my Darling Babe and Barney – I love you both forever and ever, Just, Jean." Double-matted and framed to an overall size of 19.5 x 22.5. In fine condition.
In 1932, following her rise to fame in Howard Hughes' 1930 war epic Hell's Angels, Harlow moved into this home, situated on Club View Drive in Beverly Hills, with her mother, ‘Mama’ Jean, and stepfather, Marino Bello. The house in the photo is also where Harlow married MGM Studios executive Paul Bern on July 2, 1932, and where she returned following his suicide two months later, after leaving the ‘dream house’ that had been his wedding gift to her. The image was likely taken by a studio photographer from MGM, where Harlow was under contract from April 1932.
