On July 7th 1937, at the height of her career, actress Jean Harlow succumbs to kidney failure at the age of 26. The inscription on her marble tomb simply states "our baby".

Dialysis didn't exist for several decades after she passed. The reason is kind of unknown. I remember hearing when I was growing up that it was the bleach she used in her hair but I'm sure that was just a blown up rumor.

A very classic urban legend / Hollywood rumor! :D Not true obviously.

I need to do a google search on her. I recognize the name but have no idea why she died so young.
