Decades: 1930s

Jean Harlow spent every Sunday bleaching her ash blond hair platinum, with a mixture of peroxide, ammonia, Clorox, and Lux flakes. The painful procedure wreaked such havoc on her hair she was eventually forced to don a wig.

Bringing Up Baby, 1938



And this clip, because it was too good to not add here. Screwball comedies involving jaguars for the win!!







Famous Anti-Marijuana Propaganda movie, also known as Tell Your Children (or, Terrify Your Parents)


Before Marilyn... There was the ever fantastic Joan Blondell. Dated in pre-code Hollywood.

While the 30s were rather, down and out so to speak, thank goodness for those splashy musicals by means of escapism!
