On the last Sunday of each month , LAVA welcomes interested individuals to gather in downtown Los Angeles (noon-2pm), for a loosely structured conversational Salon featuring short presentations and opportunities to meet and connect with one another.<\/span><\/p>\n At the January 2014 Salon, Darrell Rooney presented on Harlow In Hollywood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Harlow. The name resonates. Blonde Bombshell. Platinum Blonde. The labels applied by press agents during Jean Harlow’s seven-year career still carry a charge seventy years later.

At a time when Harlow’s star shone its brightest, Los Angeles and the movies gave birth to a district that exists as much in the mind as on the map. Harlow historian Darrell Rooney, co-author of Harlow In Hollywood<\/em> <\/a>(Angel City Press), discusses and presents images on the behind the scenes life of Jean Harlow and the city that helped mold her.<\/p>\n
