She was portrayed by Valerie Perrine in the 1974 biopic ''Lenny''. Perrine was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Harlow. ==Biography== She was born as Harriett Jolliff in Manila, Arkansas on August 15, 1927. She was raised in Detroit, Michigan. While still in her teens, she ran away from home and ended up dancing topless. She was convicted, along with several friends, of stealing cars and attempting to rob a candy machine, and spent more than a year in prison. After her release from prison she worked as a stripper under the name "Hot Honey Harlow."〔 On June 15, 1951, she married comedian Lenny Bruce. They divorced on January 21, 1957, after having a daughter, Kitty.〔〔O'Malley, Ryan, ("Lenny Bruce’s daughter reaching out : Pittston resident Kitty Bruce hopes to help women in recovery with ‘Lenny’s House’" ), ''The Pittston Dispatch'', Pittston, Pennsylvania, October 4, 2009〕 The two fought a custody battle over their daughter. Harlow successfully lobbied New York Governor George Pataki to posthumously pardon Bruce for the obscenity conviction resulting from his performance and arrest at the Cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village in 1964. She married Jeffrey Friedman in 1984.〔 *(Honey Harlow ) at Strip Magazine〕 She died on September 12, 2005, in Honolulu.〔〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Honey Bruce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
