Warning: Spoilers
With it all, Jean Harlow gave quite a performance in this 1933 film. She portrays a volatile actress giving out constant outbursts with her staff.

The film shows the effects of a publicity agent whose scheming has brought Lola (Harlow) to what she is. She desperately wants to be her own woman, but is caught up in the general Hollywood mayhem.

The part where Harlow wanted to adopt a baby, but the people from the agency being scared off by the various Hollywood types including her outrageous father and pathetic brother/

The film also brings out how everything in tinsel land is so basically false.

Her publicity agent really loves her and the film ends with her finding out about his latest scheme. These agents will stop at nothing to get their star ahead.
