The Directors: George Cukor

Legendary needs to be the first word.  He was Mister Hollywood in so many ways.  Quite a number of his films certainly can be called legendary and he worked with so many of the greats in his day.  Like no other, the parties he threw at his beautiful home were legendary... and he did so nearly weekly for decades.  He could have conducted courses on being a bon vivant... and he probably did.

Jean Harlow

In the1930s she was an original.  Some say Mae West came close and I say that's an insult to Harlow.  West was about as sexy as a bag of cement and she couldn't act her way out of a paper sack.  Unquestionably Harlow first became famous for her hair, an electric, very white, platinum blonde which enhanced her sexy demeanor.  She would in time become known as a good comedic actress.
