Regarding Jean Harlow making 'Hell's Angels' (1930), in filming her seduction scene with Ben Lyon, Whale encouraged her to act instinctively, but even that was beyond her. "Tell me," she implored him after a number of takes, "tell me exactly how you want me to do it."
"My dear girl," Whale said, finding her repellant, "I can tell you how to be an actress, but I cannot tell you how to be a woman."
