Carroll Baker's portrayal of Jean Harlow in the 1965 Paramount biopic 'Harlow' showcased her glamour and screen presence, though the film was widely criticized for historical inaccuracies. Originally, Marilyn Monroe was intended for the lead role, but after her death, producer Joseph E. Levine acquired the rights to Irving Shulman's controversial biography for $100,000. Baker, fresh from her Harlow-inspired performance in 'The Carpetbaggers,' became the natural choice after a tense contract dispute with Columbia Pictures, ultimately resolved with a lavish platinum and diamond necklace from Levine. The production faced further challenges, including competition from a low-budget rival film starring Carol Lynley released shortly before Paramount’s version. Despite its melodramatic script, the film received praise for its visual and costume design, particularly from Edith Head, who reinterpreted Harlow's 1930s style to suit 1965 cinematic aesthetics. Baker’s performance captured both vulnerability and the bold persona Harlow was known for, depicting her rise under a Hughes-like mogul, her management by agent Arthur Landau, and her tragic marriage to producer Paul Bern. While it did not achieve major box-office success, the film remains notable for its costume craftsmanship, launch of the jazz standard 'Girl Talk,' and its status as a cultural artifact of 1960s Hollywood.

🎬 Yves Saint Laurent on film? Two 2014 biopics:
1️⃣ Yves Saint Laurent (Lespert/Pierre Niney) – classic, covers career & Pierre Bergé relationship.
2️⃣ Saint Laurent (Bonello/Gaspard Ulliel) – arthouse, dark, focuses on peak years 1967–76.
Tip: watch Lespert first for the basics, then Bonello for mood & depth.

Kylie es una artista que maneja al dedillo su exposición pública. Sabemos que habla bien de sus colegas, que no busca titulares desesperados, que ama lo queer y que se exige mucho. Poco más.
El documental -de precioso cartel- de la estrella amplía ese "poco más" a "algo más". Es un recorrido soft con la aquiescencia de Kylie, que incluso llega a eludir pícaramente respuestas que quedan montadas.
Por todo esto, la peli se siente más reportaje que documental. Decía García Márquez que el reportaje y la novela son géneros próximos.
Los capítulos son generalistas. Dan a conocer bastantes claves de la protagonista, de modo que quien haya olvidado recuerde y que el resto, la conozca. Se dibuja un perfil de quién es. <<Yeah.>> Sobre todo de su origen, pues la dinámica da más relevancia al siglo XX, de tal modo que en los dosmiles los hechos avanzan entre elipsis y a 4x. Not <<slow.>>
Apenas sale la familia o su equipo. Faltan anécdotas de giras, entrevistas, escarceos en el cine, grabaciones (¿cómo compone?). Hay una orfandad de hitos. Y de amores (¿Andrés, qué Andrés?). Solo se nos presentan los más caducados, alguno para redundar en la no maternidad, lo que ni se plantea en las bios masculinas.
En cambio, Donovan aparece hasta dar lache. Y Nick Cave (no hay mujeres), con un carisma que embelesa. Él valora el pop, está lejos pero su sensibilidad, tanto como su amistad, es colosal.
Mucho de lo que se extraña se recoge en la secuencia deI clip de I believe in you. Uno de los cortes más elocuentes junto con las bambalinas de un concierto donde la diva requiere de oxígeno. Porque brillar es duro.
La historia montada es easy watching, saltarina y sucinta. No obstante, da suficiente y lo da bien para conocer a una diva irremplazable, una máquina de alegría. Pero otra vez me subrayo: los mejores biopics son los no autorizados.
