Adventures in Graving

By Lisa Burks

Jean Harlow Reincarnated?

It’s been 72 years since screen siren, Jean Harlow died prematurely at the age of 26. Recently Lisa Burks, writer and Franchot Tone biographer, interviewed Valerie Franich, a woman who is believed by some to be the reincarnation of the Blonde Bombshell. 

“I don’t go around saying ‘I’m the reincarnation of Jean Harlow’ because I think that would be disrespectful,” explained Valerie from her home in the Seattle area.  “But because of my personal experiences, I’m open to the high possibility that it’s true. What I do say is ’someone prove it to me,’” she added.

Check out Lisa’s very interesting story and decide for yourself.
