How did Jean Harlow die?
The actress succumbed to Uremic poisoning a form of Kidney disease. her demise was aggravated by the fact her Mother, a devout Christian Scientist, refused medical help until the disease was well-past the fail safe point. The Harlow death created some negative publicity for the Christian science denomination, and the sought to keep this angle out of the two movies done about Harlow, though it was discussed objectively in the Book on which both films ( Carrol Baker ( no relation to Monroe) and Caroll Lynley) were based. It was implied Harlow”s mother, was something of a stage-struck alcoholic and almost a female version of the remote=control Baseball manager-dad.
