'Baby's' Best Picture
Everyone, but everyone called her 'Baby' - never Jean. Baby is front and center throughout and she matched Lee, famous for his rapid-fire delivery and vaudeville sharp comic timing as well as every other talent in this cruelly, deliciously cynical send-up of screen idolatry vs. reality. Supposedly based on Clara Bow but its a lot about Harlow's life. Even the famous bath scene from Red Dust is worked in. I've seen it a half dozen times and fall in love with "Baby" all over again.
