This is the most random video to ever pop up in my recommended
same
Exactly and I clicked on it🤣🤣🤣🤣 we’re nosey🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same and now I’m subscribed
right?????? i didn't even know
Just popped up in mine....I'm like "what"
Physician here. As soon as he said she had Strep as a child, I knew she had glomerulonephritis leading to kidney failure, which in turn made her breath smell like ammonia. Poor Jean😢. This is why I get so frustrated when some patients say they want to treat infections like strep “naturally.” Any other time, there are people who want antibiotics for a virus, which are useless, then some who refuse them for Strep that causes kidney failure or heart disease. You can’t win😱
I know people who want antibiotics for everything then don't take the full course. I can't be friends with people like that.
Thank you. I am 68 years old, and just had a total aortic valve replacement. I suspect it was pure snobbery that kept my pediatrician from diagnosing scarlet fever half a century ago. It was seen as a disease of poverty and squalid living conditions. Oh, well, I have made it this far!
@@scallopohare9431 My goodness❤. Bless you! Only the strong survive, and you're one of them. I have many patients that have your history. Rheumatic heart disease is so common, and all it took was Group A Strep, which causes Strep Pharyngitis or Scarlet Fever. I hope you're well.
@@lotstodo Exactly! do my best not to give them unless needed & educate patients why they have to finish them to prevent antibiotic resistance.
@@Olubumni Recovering nicely, thank you! Please stay well yourself.
Jean Harlow was a cousin. She used to go up to Sebastopol California to visit my great grandparents on their farm. She generally came alone but not always. She liked the remote nature of their farm and the country life so she visited as often as possible. She was not flamboyant or crude, she was polite and rather quiet. She enjoyed a good meal and seemed to be very helpful in the kitchen. She was good company. She played with my father and uncle when they were present when she was visiting. She may have been a flamboyant Hollywood personality but with family, she was very normal. I’m just say’n people are not always what you think.
Thank you for your insights. Have you visited her resting place at Forest Lawn? Since you are related, should be no problem.
very nice.
Thanks for your time letting people see a very human lady in Ms. Harlow. 🤗
She was my grandmother’s cousin too! Harleen was really nice and kind from what my grandma said. Jean ( her mother) not so much
@@maryzambrana7141 her real name was harleen carpenter. Jean was her mother’s name
She packed a lot of life into 26 years, including 16 films. RIP Jean.
Because the narrator said “three dozen films”, I was thinking that she had filmed 36.
actually 36 films
I agree. She was excellent in "Public Enemy " with James Cagney.
I am convinced you did not read one thing about her life. She was actually an avid reader, extremely smart, even published a book, was forced to dress the way she did and act the way she act, and getting married. She hated dressing up, and hated playing sex idols even more. Her first starting role was terrible but after that she became quite good and was an amazing comedic actress. You really managed to belittle an extremely remarkable person.
Amen
Absolutely !!
Omg I agree!!! U said exactly my thoughts. She was SO MUCH more!! This fool doesn’t do her justice!!
@dylan lmao trolls make themselves so obvious. piss your pants, Dylan
Thank you! Yes women were horribly sexualized and abused in Hollywood.
"Gee I've always wondered why her breath smelled like urine." (Said no one ever)
Hahaha 🤣
Right I was scrolling and seen this and was like whhaattt and whyyyyy 😆🤣
Gee, at first I thought it was due to... the obvious... someone else's kidneys.
Exactly! yet I still clicked on the video 😩
Well, someone did if this was made, simpleton
She COULD ACT. Great timing, and some very genuine dramatic lines.
Thank you for saying that she was a very good actress and she was also a nice person!
Hi Iris
She didn't have a moral compass. I hate to know where her soul went
Thank you! She was a true talent and this man literally boiled her down to nothing more than her looks… he is the problem w society
@Ross Smith hi
The reason Jean Harlow DIDN'T wear underclothing is because they showed LINES, and she HATED LINES!!!!
@Ross Smith Yeah, FUNNY!!!!
@@libertygiveme1987 Well, to be fair ... it was actually quite witty!
I do too I food that a whole
@@WillBlindYouWithLight I got the munchies right now. Stop. To the fridge. Stop.
Plus her gowns were all silk
Fun fact: Jean Harlow was Marilyn's idol. She used to watch Jean as a child at the Chinese theatre. She liked her because Marilyn had light blonde hair as a child, so did Jean. There's an interview on it. Marilyn also saw Clark Gable as a farther figure, when at the orphanage. Marilyn ( know as Norma Jean. She hadn't changed her name yet). Would imagine Clark coming in and giving all the children crayons. There's an interview of her saying that as well.
But didn't marilyn have brown hair as a child? Correct me if I'm wrong 😅
@@internallyscreaming4179 yes she did. Through her later child years and early teens
@@alyssabiffin5489 what you don't know is that Marylin may have seen Clark Gable as a father figure when she was a child, but when she got the opprtunity to act with him în The movie later în her life, she would try very hard to seduce him behind the scene on set. Clark would make himself appear very unatractive with his intenționa silly impresions to drive her away and make her stop her intrest în him. În the end it worked, she stoped making moves on him. There's a documentary with their experience working togheter (Clark and Marylin)
@@marishkaspirit I can't find Clark and Marilyn
@@marishkaspirit after researching on this for quiet a few hours I am unable to find any sources to confirm this. I have come across a apparent lost scene of Marilyn and Clark which she is nude. However, not to condone that she made passes at him.
I don't think she had "little talent". Her acting was incredibly natural for that time, with a great comedic presence.
“Her death made her a legend…Why Jean Harlow’s breath smelled like urine!” What a jarring transition of words.
Have to do great things and then die to become a legend, a living person wouldn't be a legend.
Marylyn Monroe copied her
Seriously.
you state "her talent made her a star" and go on to say that she had no talent. terrible writing.
The tone of this video leads me to believe that "her talent" as in "wink wink" talent, not meaning her acting. Just a guess.
very offensive
@@kkittycatkat1990 She was quite talented. There was no one like her before or since. She was also one hell of a gal offscreen. Her costars and the casts of her movies adored her. Foh with your bs.
I really don’t appreciate how this person is constantly degrading a female legend!!! This MAN should show some respect!!
Tell that to her leading men!
Women degrade themselves why men should always have to lift up a woman
💯% he needs to learn some respect!!!! How dare he!!!
exactly!
how? by being factual? you realise that the whole concept of feminism is not putting women on a pedestal but removing this nonsense that "women are the fairer sex", which includes not seeing women as special compared to men, and not seeing women as needing protection.
My great uncle Ray Carey was set physician at MGM. He thought the world of Jean Harlow.
How cool 😍😍😍
She should have told William Powell about the baby and married him. very sad.
Wow! My Great Uncle Edward M. Parker was the set decorator for a couple seasons of the original Star Trek and Twilight Zone. I never met him but I've always wondered if he knew any celebs
My father's great-aunt so my great-great-aunt was Elizabeth Russell. She was the sister-in-law to Jane Russell. And eventually married into the Wanamaker family and those of you on the east coast and familiar with the Philadelphia area will definitely know that name. But let me tell you going through her photos and the stories that were passed down to me from my father and my grandmother who was her niece, it's amazing even the veils and secrecy and Steve's relationships and storylines of actors and actresses personalized was going on even then so imagine how bad it is now it's a thousand times worse than you could ever imagine I mean forced relationships to be done in public so there could be photo-ops it's unreal Elizabeth Russell started out as a model and there's a reason why she didn't become as big as Jane. She wanted nothing to do with Hollywood after a while and it was because of her attitude against the awful things he saw that in some cases she got a reputation for being stuck up when in reality she was putting her nose up at the bad people but when you do that they have to make a spin story to cover up their Web of Lies and thus she became a b**** in Hollywood but let me tell you I was told that was very far from the truth
That is wonderful to know!
Did you say she is barely remembered? Sorry to tell you, she is very well remembered.
Barely remembered ???????....She's a screen legend....
The new generation doesn’t know who she is calm down
I have no idea who she is
@@AlexGray19 You're better than most then!
@@JordanWilliams-ix2td me too, only old ppl see her so hottie and woow sexy, but the truth she's just normal woman with dry hair can't compare this with CARA DELVEINGNE or MEGAN FOX
Just wondering , who wrote the script he’s reading?
He’s so mean !!
Was he a family member left out of her will.
No!, he's just not a real man!!!!!
The narrator is British….They all think us Americans are losers.
@@BellaB411 til somebody brings up their history
@Quirky Kiwi Queen that’s just been my experience. I have family from over there. They never have anything nice to say about us.
He ain’t no mr Jerry Skinner doco.
Had dialysis been a thing back then, she would have lived so much longer.
poor lady
Or transplantation.
Had antibiotics been discovered she wouldn't have ever gotten that ill.
Poor thing, it must have been aweful😞
Antibiotics alone would have done the trick for her. So sad.
Is it just me, or is there a curious amount of shade being thrown at Ms Harlow in this video? Whoever did this video does not seem to like her very much.
Disgusting!
Absolutely correct
They can say anything about a person who's dead and can't defend themselves. Vile. I'm blocking this from my feed.
@@lilithdemonia74 good for you x
if you google some of what he says in the video, he's reading info from other sites. he didn't come up with this stuff himself.
The forced abortion when she wanted a family is heart-breaking. She suffered a lot and probably only wanted to be loved. She was beautiful, a wonderful actress and fascinating personality. So sad to die so young. Rest In Peace
I agree! She was a wonderful actress! I don't know why the channel owner thinks she was subpar. She was a comedian, and as good as her male counterparts.
No one can force an adult to have an abortion. She made the decision
@@robincoar9824 many adult women are forced into abortions all the time. abortions during Harlow's era were illegal, meaning they were not done in hospitals by doctors who knew what they were doing. they were more often done in unsafe and compromising ways, many women who were pregnant out of wedlock either had the choice of an unsafe/dangerous at home abortion or to live homeless away from family or society. what a stupid comment.
@@robincoar9824 clearly you know nothing about history prior to 30 years ago. Please educate yourself.
@@robincoar9824 Your ignorance is stunning.
Dang, what did she do to y’all? The script was harsh.
Way harsh, Tai
@@thecoldglassofwatershow 😂😂😂
Jean's talent was not tiny. She was quite talented. Bette Davis was said to have been impressed with Jean's ability to take on tough talking roles that were so different from Jean's personality.
I loved her in Red Dust.

Well, I bet she was much tougher talking with her urine breath.
@@lesliehorwinkle I doubt she did much talking, then. She was dying.
@@lesliehorwinkle What a shame. Failing kidneys due to strep gave her ammonia breath. We have antibiotics for strep these days, but not then.
Losing her virginity at 14 …didn’t make her a woman it made her a victim ! She was a child or have we forgotten you have to grow up first to actually become an adult!
Back then girls were getting married at that age. Not saying it was okay, but girls were just not often protected. Marriage was a girl's life goal, as all the movies of the time attest to!
I put her in a class with Kobe Bryant,who once said that he did everything young,and like him she too was an all-time GREAT.May the most high Creator bless them both
Did she lose her virginity or was it stolen from her? Really what did she do to ya? Is somebody bitter cause they couldn't get her? Sounds like a testimony at a Salem witch trial. She was a beautiful, talented , victim of life before and after Hollywood. She sounded like a natural woman. Is this MC bashing her , Hollywood,or America. Cheery bye bloody bastard twit.
@@dorcella8797 funny lady Jean Harlow , such is life
@@dorcella8797 what?
Dude.... you sound so hateful towards her.
So?
She was very talented lady god bless here .not need haters .
If this was the story of a current actress she would be praised as a professional for her devotion to her craft. Doesn't care who on set sees her nude, always about business. Or she would have been a poster girl for the "me too" movement. To me she sounds human. Less than ideal childhood, mother trying to live vicariously through her daughter and just plain ambitious. No hate here. Just amazement on how judgemental people "the narrator " can be without walking a mile in someone else's shoes, as well as the advancement of medical science.
@@MegaHatLady so stop wtf
No, he is just English. English accents make people sound like they have a disdain for everything.
Jean Harlow was on a train,that stopped in Logan County ,Ohio in the early 1930’s. My grandparents operated a 24 hour restaurant,at a railroad depot. Passengers would stop and eat. The passengers that didn’t want to get off the train,Uncle Charles would take their orders. That day.Jesn was very inebriated,and wanted Uncle Charles to go back to California with her. It took about an hour before her manager could get her calmed down. My grandmother laughed about it,all her life. She said, “Jean Harlow was the only woman,Charles was ever afraid of.”
Great story.
THANK YOU SO MUCH 4 SHARING YOUR STORY - SHE'S LUCKY GRANDMA WAS MORE OF A LADY THAN SHE WAS - LMBO
Amazing story! Lol
I also found a drunk crude Jean Harlow & followed a lead & found a cult of pharma after her son died. The mean woman's son had a bio lab contract & a lot of control in the U.S. We found ped@phile symbols in his home among other leads.
Blown away to see this name. He was not normal but, a nightmare to have met. They hid their self so well. In our face.
@@spirituallyours64whengnats69 provide the name..."mean woman's son" is too ambiguous. Your vague raving could use some more contextualization and academic rigor.
I am shocked and appalled at the unfair and scathing negativity about a screen legend who died tragically young!
She was a fine actress who could have gone on to greater things.
A lady ahead of her time, flawed certainly, but doesn't deserve such character assassination.
SHAME ON YOU!

We don’t realise how lucky we are having antibiotics these days....although, some of them are useless now....we took them for granted....!
They are not useless now,,, they just say that because it’s just like they want us to starve and brainwash people to believing it’s better to not eat meat…
@@beverlybalius9303 ...not all of them are useless ,but some of them are and it’s getting more each year....I know this for sure because I have an inherited immunological illness which means I can’t fight upper respiratory illness on my own so have lived on antibiotics all of my life....there are at least 4 of the antibiotics I used to take for chest infection that have stopped working because the bug has become resistant...and I am down to the last ones working in some case....these might last another 20 years.....there aren’t any new ones being discovered in some cases as they just can’t find any more.......
And....it isn’t the case where the person has taken too many and their body gets too used to them...that’s the myth everyone thinks.....it’s a case of THE BUG that becomes resistant so affects everyone....that’s why, in some countries they don’t have anything for TB now.....and what about the super bugs....things like MRSA?....They are not new bugs.....they are bugs that were treatable with antibiotics once and are now resistant....there are lots of them......if there are no new ones coming through infection will resort to being the biggest killer for us again like before there were antibiotics......I don’t know where you get your conspiracy theory from, but do some research!.....I’m amazed there are people who aren’t educated in this.......
I now live permanently with a chest infection called Pseudomonas.......I’m an invalid with it, and there is no antibiotic left to kill this bug.....it will kill me early......
@@historicalfashionpassion Best wishes for your health my dear💞❕
@@historicalfashionpassion so sorry you have pseudomonas. I had a dog years ago that had pseudomonas in his ear. Went to several vets, several antibiotics and it never went away. How awful. I hope you are able to get yours cured.

Renal failure. It's common. And in the days before powerful antibiotics, transplants and dialysis, Ms. Harlow was doomed. Kind of insensitive of you to fix on THIS aspect of her, but WTH, YT is not known for good taste.
Hi Cynthia
Hi Ross
Some Producer... "Hey, we need a short biopic on Jean Harlow! Let's get somebody to do that."
Enter some guy who HATED Jean Harlow, "I'll do it!"
Jean Harlow was incredibly talented and could take on many different roles.
She's remembered by casual and serious classic film fans as well as t.c.m. fans. Of course, modern film fans don't remember her, they are not fans of the film of 1910 through the 1960s, etc.
Read the book The Fixer... her "husband's" story is included.
Why is he throwing out her age when she lost her virginity?? Are we still judging women like that? How is that anybody’s business?
Yeah, than bothered me too, saying she was “no longer a child” due to loosing her virginity is WAY problematic! She was in fact, still a child, sexualized, taken advantage of, and sold out.
@Andrea Wylie because it is an issue?
Exactly. Virginity is a non issue.
Because it is important
@@robertataft3836 is it important for men? It's not important at all. It holds no meaning whatsoever. A womans vagina is not changed at all after sex.
Her lack of talent? Seriously? Well, buddy...she was VERY talented and she was a very nice, gracious woman off screen.
I just saw a few films and loved her style, looks very glamorous but acts like girl next door.
@@lagatita1623 watch wife vs secretary there she is very serious that's where she proved everyone what she was about. For her best movie i recommend Bombshell also Red Dust.
@@JeanHarlowArchive thanks I will
"...was VERY talented and she was a very nice, gracious woman off screen."
Well obviously. How many husbands?
@@chickey333 her first husband didnt allow her to be an actress het second onr committed suicide third one was an arranged marriage to avoid a scandal and william powell was her true love. And who cares how many marriages she had? Who are u to judge her in 21st century.
After getting a strep infection, somehow your immune system gets sensitized and sees the kidney as a foreign tissue.
Or the heart!
The strep infection can also scar the heart valves .
Strep is no joke
I always thought she had a lot of comedic talent, too.
Gone too soon. 😔💔
Rip Jean Harlow. 🖤⭐
Medically speaking, the women had a kidney problem which eventually took her life.
Basically... aka an acidic body. Aka chemical lifestyle (toxic bleached image).
Like her. Idolize her (as noted throughout these comments). Truth is what it is.
I like her better. She wasn't an early-20th-century hypocrite.
I didn’t know about her until now but wow I like her so much.
Just because you’ve lost your virginity doesn’t mean you’re not still a child. And I agree with many other commenters this video is in poor taste.
Disagree if they’re 2 underage consensual people then they’re not innocent anymore.
Agreed. This video is hella sexist with a lot of random small jabs. It’s fucking weird and it seems to come super natural to the narrator because it just flows with his story
THE poorest. Btw, Clark Gable’s breath was legendarily bad from all his caps.
exactly.
So nasty and disrespectful of such a beautiful actor. RIP Jean Harlow
your misogynistic bias is unnecessary.. jean was talented, beautiful and absolutely amazing
do you even know what misogyny is? How bout misandry? I'm sure you dont as your accusation of the author as a "hater of females" is quite unfounded and uneccessarily aggressive, masculine even. Learn the definitions of the words you use before throwing them about so irresponsibly.

She denied his fathers advances!!!! He's BIG mad!!! Lol
She sounded like a loveable character. Rip beautiful Gene Harlow
The poor woman. it would have been a really horrible death for her. It’s not just the breath that smells of urine, but as this documentary says, the toxins effect the brain and the sweating is caused by these building up in the cells. Eight days is about the length of time it takes to die without treatment.
I suffer from Glomerulonephritis thought to have been caused by strep throat, and it is the type of disease that completely takes over and ruins your life. At least these days we have dialysis machines to try to keep us alive but even so, the side effects and the pain are indescribable as even after five hours at a time on the machine for four days a week, the dialysis doesn’t always work.
And it’s really not nice to see anyone posting a video on youtube with such a title whether it is done for shock effect or not to get more patrons.
Didn't Jack London die of a similar ailment?
The lives those Hollywood stars lived behind the scenes were more dramatic than the movies they starred in.
Highly capable actress who lit up the screen and what a tragically sad ending. Jean always cheers me up whenever I see her in movies, even after such a long time. I have the feeling that if she was alive today, she would still fit in perfectly.
Will never be forgotten. The first, the very original, blonde bombshell...
She was absolutely gorgeous!
What does he have against her? He is really demeaning and diminishing her.. Utterly disgusting!!!
The title of this channel is very offensive.
Only to the simple minded and children.

Thats Why they got thumbs down
She had uremia and died of renal (Kidney) failure. So did Mozart we think...post streptococcal glomerulo nephritis. Now we have dialysis and kidney transplants.

She was Cagney's second girlfriend in "Public Enemy," not the one who got grapefruit pushed in her face. It was a short part but memorable.
Wonder what public enemy would have been like with Louise Brooks.
Hear she likes grapefruit
Ecactly!
And the girl getting the
grapefruit in her face was
Mae Clarke,
who also played the fiancée of Baron Frankenstein in the horror classic of the same year.
I totally disagree with the comment at 1:45 that none of her films would make a cinema buff’s top 100 list. “Dinner at Eight” would definitely make it. It is every bit as entertaining today.
This should be a reminder of how fortunate we are to live during these times- this woman didn't deserve this - can't say I've ever watched one of her movies but I've heard the name since I could remember so obviously she made an impact- I just hope for her sake she was able to enjoy her time on Earth- she no doubt entertained millions in not only her day but many, many days to come-
These starry eyed comments are a bit much.
I had scarlet fever as a child. It occurred right along with a tornado that brought phone and power lines down and put a massive tree across the only road out of our farm... but at least left our farm buildings(even the chicken coop) and animals (even the guinea fowl) untouched. I was five and I almost died. I still remember my pillow feeling as hot as a heating pad...but so cool when it was turned over. Always after that I was always prone to illness and g.i. system trouble in particular. So I feel for Jean. There were probably many times when she worked even though she felt bad.
Oh my gosh, when you started this I thought you were going to say you were in Kansas...

Not remember Jean Harlow? You must have lived under a rock in an undersea cave. Ms. Harlow had tons of talent and grace. Her movies are classics. Her legend still shines bright. She likely suffered from a disease that affects the kidneys called glomerulonephritis (probably spelled wrong). Medicine wasn't very advanced then so it's likely it was missed.
I had scarlet fever for 2 months as a child. Glomerulonephritis comes up as later consequence frequently in web searches.

Hi beautiful
@@gloriahanes5338 not correct. Penicillin was discovered in the late 1920s. It was isolated and refined about 1940 or so. I know this because it killed my grandmother with anaphylactic shock response. They didn't know how to treat that back then either.
did you also knew that before 1969 no man has been on the moon !!!isn't that shocking ....lol
12:57 is when the breath urine statement finally happens. Because...Kidney failure.
It just goes to prove, you never really know what others are dealing with. If people were a bit more understanding & not so eager to throw stones maybe they would acquire the rare commodity of wisdom. Too bad, a beautiful spunky woman that from the outside looked like she had it all but in the end suffered from such internal turmoil, she deserved better. RIP Miss Harlow.

Hmmm I read an old biography that blamed her kidney damage on a beating she took from Paul Bern when things didn't go well in bed. He was careful not to spoil her face. Whether this s true or not, I can't vouch. It surely would not have helped.
Heard exact same thing. I believe it.
Yes. Scarlet fever causes damage to the heart, not the kidneys, as far as I have read. Edit, well I would have to look up about the kidneys, but the heart damage is well known.
It wasn’t true. There is a really good book by David Stenn that debunks most of the myths. Scarlett Fever many years after the original infection caused the renal failure that resulted in her death. Paul Bern didn’t beat her and had nothing to do with her death.
@@bluemonday7054 Yes, he denied it like my father did!
It isn't true. Paul Bern committed suicide due to the fact he had a common law wife in New York named Dorothy Millette she read that he married Jean followed him to LA and he shot himself and Dorothy left went to San Francisco and jumped off the ferry the Delta Queen in Sacramento. She was found days later jean even paid for her burial.
Her bad health was the death of her , not her career ......
My God. Such a sad life she had.
I read Clark Gables Biography and of course Harlow was like family to him and Lombard. Unfortunately since her death was to early in her life and caused by an abdominal disease, I assume that could have been a long term issue that probably didn’t help her breathe. Then tragically Lombard died in a plane crash not long after. Poor Clark.
Wow. I went into sudden kidney failure myself at 36 years old secondary to multiple myeloma. It rapidly damaged my kidneys. I had the ammonia breath too. I was able to bounce back when we started treating my myeloma.
She was one hell of a performer.
This really makes me heart ❤ 😭.... I had rheumatic fever asa child... the worst time 😪 😫 😔 of my life
She was a STAR❗🌟
You forgot to say she was a successful author. Her books are still selling today. A very highly intelligent woman.
It still baffles me that they didn't take her to the hospital immediately. I really don't know if it would've saved her life but it just sounds insane that they let her mom take her home.
Her mom was a bit of a religious/ health nut or something eomething.
Her mother was a Christian Scientist they don't believe in medical treatment but prayer for healing.
@@stephaniebaker2960 Not only that but Jean's mother & her mother's boyfriend had their hands deep into Jean's pocket. She financially supported them both.
@@carolejones6812 I don't doubt it. Greedy!!
@@carolejones6812 how much money did that nut job mother n boyfriend get from her!?!? Classic symptoms fo FOOD POISONING!
People definitely didn’t want realism in the 30’s. That’s why the majority of films deal with the wealthy, sophisticated, and/or connected. They wanted to be immersed in a world were money wasn’t an issue & therefore never brought up. While I never thought about it before, though I love Harlow’s films, there aren’t any that are straight up classics. Probably her best and most remembered films are Dinner at Eight and Libeled Lady. Bombshell is my favorite. So many of her films haven’t aged well.
Labeled lady very good film
Great point👍🤔
Unlike modern "Hollywood " the 30s made and sold entertainment. Remember the Depression? Life was real, too real. Audiences didn't want realism, they wanted escapism. "Hollywood " now doesn't care about entertaining and really doesn't care about entertaining an audience.
Hardly anyone had the $ to go to the movies in the 1930s. The dust bowl era and the Great Depression. Only the wealthy
Wrong !
Question is finally answered around the 13:00 mark.
Kidney failure?
Thankyou 💖 much appreciated.
Wow sounds like she’s been thru the mill already on every level. A woman can just take so much. So don’t stretch here yourself thin
she was beautiful, she was to young to pass away so sad luv all her movies bombshell was my favorite
Loved any movie with Jean Harlow and Bette Davis, two very talented women.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! MS,HARLOW...
She died from uremic poisoning Harlow's kidney failure was due to a complication of her scarlet fever as a child. Combined with the scarlet fever and alcohol, Harlow's exposure to this much ammonia and bleach every week could very well have played a role in her death.
Love the pre code films. So much more real and gutsy.
This was the first video of the channel I watched. And I had to stop midway. While I admire your effort in acquainting people like me about a yesteryear star like Jean Harlow, your script sounds like you have lifted directly from a 1930's tabloid. Love for vintage fashion, vintage cinema or movie stars shouldn't mean love for vintage value systems. Atleast I hope we have come far enough as a society to recognise that there is a human being and a very broken yet resilient human being beneath the story you just presented. And that death of a 26 year old isn't exactly very glamorous.
P.S - Onto doing my own reading about this fucking legend.
my dad suffered kidney failure back in 2016. I had found him passed out on the couch, and couldn't wake him. he was sent to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with kidney failure and was in the ICU for 7 days and was put on dialysis. I had no idea that ammonia on the breath was a symptom. that's fascinating, and also disgusting. I also suffered kidney damage in 2019 from Rhabdomiolysis. I had had a severe seizure, and jerked so hard that I dislocated my shoulder, and fell from my bed to the floor. my bed is pretty high off the ground, so it was a hard fall to recover from. I didn't have to have dialysis like my dad did. but my creatinine levels kept going up, so they had to triple my fluid intake. very very scary.
True, she did start off as a not very good actress, she was a mid teen afterall, but you can track her growth and poise and professionalism almost picture by picture.
By the time of "Dinner at Eight" I think one could well argue that she had become one of the great comedic actresses of her time and perhaps all time. She was hilarious and sassy and naughty and loveable and forgivable all at the same time, and her rapport and timing with other actors, especially male, became a thing of exuberant beauty. They felt the magic too, for she was many a leading man's favorite leading lady.
Somewhere between Marilyn and Goldie Hawn maybe? Or just Harlowe?
Anyway, I sure grew to love her as I became aware of her filmography and enjoy her comedic work especially.
A shame she didn't live longer. Fair to say her crazy stage mom killed her as much as made her.
Lol you seriously think Goldie horn was in their class?She was absolutely nothing compared to them.
You can say that again.
It can effect your liver also and as you age your filtration becomes effected them you start building up with ammonia
I had an accumulation of ammonia from my fatty liver that turned into chirrosis. I got encephalopathy and couldn’t speak and was like a zombie. I had a liver transplant. I am fine now.
I still think she got better with every film. I also believe she is one of the most beautiful women ever filmed.
Had Glomerulonephritis for over 20 years sh+t condition to have been on dialysis 3 years , thanks for sharing , you video popped up randomly .
Hang in there ❤
@ John Morrow, so sorry to hear about you're condition. You are completely correct, absolutely awful situation to be in. As the doc replied " Hang in there " Love Ruth from Australia 🇭🇲😊😘💙💚💜❤❤❤💋
@@Olubumni Thankyou for taking the time to send a comment to John Morrow. Very kind of you. Don't worry about the belittling comments to yourself, there's always someone who wants their 5 minutes of fame. Love Ruth from Australia 🇭🇲🇭🇲😊💖💖💖💖💉💉💚💛💜💕💋
@@ruthlawrence8046 You're very welcome❤. I've seen his disease and wouldn't wish this Hell on anyone. That's why I ignore the trolls when I see people will real life problems & illness on a regular basis. Be well✌🏾
@@Olubumni Thankyou for your reply, you are an ANGEL love from OZ to the USA 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸😊😊😊😊😊😊
Well damn! Someone obviously hates Jean Harlow! Geeeze!
Poor thing what a life. Doesn't sound like she was happy very often. May she truly rest in peace now.
Actress Carroll Baker starred in Harlow somewhat about Jean's Hollywood days,it suggested she had a drinking problem. Sad life really,may she be resting in peace.
It is said Clark Gables breath was horrible also.
He had false teeth that didn't fit right and he had bad breath.....
In Vivian Leighs Autobiography, she claimed kissing was horrible. Info I wish i didn't know as it just ruined that torrid scene at the bottom of the staires when he kisses her so passionately!! Now when I see it, I think, she must be cringing!!!
Rest in peace Jean. You was too young to die your legend will live on
Au contraire: Clara Bow was Hollywood’s first bombshell...Jean came along after several other bombshells.
Jean fixed a prototype that resisted also nowadays both esthetically and as a character, persona. Marilyn was an upgraded Jean. Bow was a work in progress and perfect for her years.
Clara Bow apparently got around and she was pretty shocking. When it was brought to her attention that she had never slept with Al Jolson, she allegedly replied, "How did he get away?"
@@danielabassano9528 Many or probably most don't know that Marilyn Monroe was also extremely intelligent.
Jean Harlow passed away too early in life. One of my all time favorite actresses. MGM studio Queen 👑🌹❤
I thought she died from uremic poisoning . A very lovely and talented star: I remember her, although she was before my time. Iloved her comedic acting and she was a very good actress!
He (the narrator) makes it sound like the poor girl had urine breath all life so I took the bait and viewed it.
Sadly there will only be one Harlow.
Sadly born and lived in the era before modern medicine, such as penicillin and other life-saving drugs. Rest in peace, you were my grandfathers favorite actress and I always remember my grandmother telling me that. Sad ending for a beautiful woman, thank you God that we don’t suffer as much fr such maladies ; sometimes despite even medication and treatment kidney failure is prevalent in our society unfortunately still today. Hopefully one day there will be no sickness and death for any disease. What a wonderful day that will be!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Disgusting
