A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I think I looked this up at one point, and weirdly, none of them died from the asbestos. I seem to remember several of the actors died relatively young, so maybe something else got them first.
It was in 1939. Asbestos usually fucks you 20 years later, so around 1950. While Asbestos related diseases were acknowledged in the 40s, the widespread understanding of a health hazard was only coming up in the 60s to 80s.
So it is very well possible, that it simply wasn't checked.
Asbestos isn't that bad for you when compared to heavy amphetamine and barbiturate use. But I'm sure it did help with the emotional pain of being constantly molested and likely raped or being poisoned to death from toxic paint on your face.
Wtf?
Garland was groped constantly on set and spent a lot of time in the office. The tinman had a severe reaction to the tin paint. Lots of other issues.
