In how many Laurel and Hardy shorts did Jean Harlow act?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 6
D. 8

Mythical Monkey said...: Another trick question -- Jean Harlow never wore shorts while acting. "Underwear makes me uncomfortable," she said, "and besides, my parts have to breathe."; July 19, 2012 at 8:37 AM
Prashant C. Trikannad said...: Laurel and Hardy are permanent guests in my home and yet I seem to have missed this film. Could you tell me which one it is so I can add it to me L&H collection? Many thanks...; July 23, 2012 at 4:27 AM
Mythical Monkey said...: Jean Harlow made three short comedies with Laurel and Hardy in 1929 -- Double Whoopee (pictured), Liberty and Bacon Grabbers.

I think they may have shown up in an old box set called "The Lost Films of Laurel and Hardy" about fifteen years ago, but I can't swear to it -- it's out of print.; July 23, 2012 at 9:02 AM
Prashant C. Trikannad said...: Thanks for the titles. I have never come across these in Bombay, India. I'll inquire about "The Lost Films of Laurel and Hardy," though. I have some dozen-odd films of L&H and like some family heirloom they are my most prized collection of movies.; July 23, 2012 at 12:54 PM
