The only place I can think of that I have ever heard the name (in a song) is in a Madonna song (( I think It is called "Vogue")) . the line is : "Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean
Picture of a beauty queen" . . but that is all I can think of foe the moment!
Jean Harlow was a platinum blonde bombshell, a screen sensation of the 1930s. Her image suffuses this name, resulting in a contemporary surname with an aura of old-time glamour.
