First star to use her breasts to arouse
The eroticism of Theda Bara was generalised, with no particular item or mode of behaviour
coming in for
particular emphasis. In any event her breasts were not vast, so there was little scope for
concentration on them!
Not so with Jean Harlow. This latter actress usually gets the credit for focussing the erotic
interest, for the first
time on the screen, on a woman's breasts. At the end of the nineteen twenties it was the
flat-chested flappers who
symbolised screen sex. Harlow's breasts were only large (34-inch bust) compared to the boyish
females who had
appeared on the screen before her- but she heaved up her breasts and used them to advantage.
Harlow was said
to be a compulsive exhibitionist, a "sexual provocatrice who knew the effect her body made on
men." Her nipples
were supposed to expand as the room temperature went up; and before a Press conference she
would rub them
with ice.
