In 1937 Jean Harlow was a world-famous actor and sex symbol — and only 26. Sadly, she died suddenly and shockingly of kidney failure while filming Saratoga with Clark Gable. The studio originally planned to reshoot her role, but decided against it when her fans complained. They ended up finishing her remaining scenes with doubles who were shot from behind or with costumes obscuring their faces. Paula Winslowe also overdubbed an impersonation of Harlow's voice when necessary. The film was rush-released just seven weeks after her death, and — likely buoyed by her mourning fans — went on to become one of the year's biggest hits. #jeanharlow #s #oldhollywood #hollywood #goldenageofhollywood #classichollywood #oldhollywoodglamour #marilynmonroe #jaynemansfield #dianadors #mamievandoren #janerussell #joancollins #dorothydandridge #vintage #arianagrande #taylorswift #beyonce #justinbieber #bensidy #tuckson #mickeyhargitay #mariskahargitay #oldmovies #joancrawford #kimnovak #clarkgable #gretagarb
