Fox News
Actress Jean Harlow died when she was just 26 years old in 1937. For years, rumors and conspiracy theories have surrounded the sex symbol's brief life.
More than a century after the actress’ birth, Harlow expert and collector Darrell Rooney and Hollywood historian Mark Vieria teamed up to update their 2011 book "Harlow in Hollywood." The new version, which was published on Oct. 18, features more than 280 rare images. Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
Rooney has amassed one of the world’s most significant collections of Harlow photographs and memorabilia. Images of Harlow can sell for as much as $14,000 and camera negatives for as much as $50,000. He told Fox News Digital that his original book became so popular among collectors that he struggled to find original copies online.
