Jean Harlow’s<\/a> iconic Los Angeles home is on the market.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood darling’s former home in Los Angeles is up for sale for $16.8 million in partnership with David Kramer of Compass.<\/p>\n

Dubbed the “Jean Harlow Estate” by MGM and often called the “Whitest House in the World,” according to Architectural Digest<\/a>, the home was originally built in 1932 and has 7,367-square-feet of living space, including four bedrooms and seven bathrooms.<\/p>\n

The home features many additional rooms along with the usual common spaces, including a billiards room, temperature-controlled wine cellar, conservatory and library.<\/p>\n

Known as Hollywood’s original blonde bombshell<\/a>, Harlow made a name for herself playing provocative, confident women, breaking into the industry with her performance in the 1930 film, “Hell’s Angels,” after director and producer Howard Hughes cast her in the movie.<\/p>\n

Harlow went on to star in many films throughout the 1930s, including six with legendary co-star Clark Gable. Their on-screen connection was considered effortless, and their pairing has gone down as one of the most iconic in Hollywood history.<\/p>\n

During an interview with Hollywood Magazine<\/a> in 1935, Gable reflected on his first experience working with Harlow, saying, “She was one step ahead of me on the way to success” as she had already had a hit under her belt with “Hell’s Angels.” “She never made me feel that it was her picture any more than mine.<\/p>\n

“Neither of us knew much about the business, and we tried to figure things out together so the rest wouldn\u2019t realize how awfully green we really were,” he said. “I remember Jean would ask me at the end of every scene, ‘How\u2019m I doing?’ And I asked her the same.”<\/p>\n
