March 3, 1911 in Kansas City, that in the very heart of America, Harlin Harloou Carpenter was born, which after 20 years the whole world found out like Jin Harlow. And in childhood it was not even called by name, calling just a crumb. A cute, gentle and painful girl was in the family of the idol. Mother, who considered his marriage unsuccessful, was fully gone into the upbringing of his daughter, so as not to remember her husband. He worked as a dentist and provided a family to a soulless existence.
His jin's wife is accustomed to a beautiful life, because he was brought up in a wealthy family of real estate merchant. Her parents mansion became a house for a little Harlin. And her mother hatched ambitious plans for the conquest of Hollywood.
Capturing a 12-year-old daughter, a woman went to Los Angeles to become an actress. By that time she divorced her husband and for the court forbidden him to meet with the child.
