Today is Tonight is the title of a novel written by Hollywood actress Jean Harlow in the mid-1930s but not published until 1965.
According to Harlow's close friend Arthur Landau, in his introduction to the novel's first paperback edition by Dell Publishing, Harlow had expressed interest in writing a novel as early as 1933-34 and completed a manuscript before her death in 1937. After her death, Landau writes, her mother sold the film rights to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and retained the publication rights, but no film was made and the novel itself remained unpublished until the mid-1960s a family friend (who had been passed the publication rights by Harlow's mother), made an arrangement with Dell. There appears to have been no hardcover first edition, the book being printed only in paperback.
The novel is set in the 1920s, amongst the opulant living of the Hollywood jet-set, and focuses on one couple, Peter and Judy Lansdowne.
