Re: Harper vs Harlow
in reply to a message by Pie
Well, I have to admit, now that I know who Jean Harlow was, Harper Lee IS a better namesake. I change my answer to Harper.~~~~~

I don't think Jean Harlow is a bad namesake, per se. She was more intelligent than people realized, and a sweet person, by all accounts. Everyone loved her. I can see her screen image being a problem, though, but even that doesn't rub me the wrong way. She was platinum blonde and sexy and all that, but she was also independent. Her movies were pre-Code, so the characters she played were considered edgy, for the time. And now I'll stop rambling, because this doesn't really mean anything, lol.
