Jean quickly became a national and international sex symbol. Even though a lot of people criticized her acting abilities, she still had a lot of fans.
She replaced a Swedish actress with an accent too strong for the Talkies in the film Hell's Angels in 1930. It became a huge hit.
Her female fans even went as far as trying to copy her platinum blonde hair that she had.
Jean's career continued to prosper. She showed her comedic talents in 'Dinner at Eight' in 1933, and she began playing showbiz roles, such as 'Bombshell' in 1933 and "If Girl", spoofing 1920's sex symbol and "It girl" Clara Bow, who she worked with in the previous years.
By the mid 1930's she was one of the biggest stars in the movie industry.
