One of the worst things about this story is that for most of the girls who died, US Radium bribed coroners to list the cause of death as syphilis to ruin their reputations and credibility

[Nevermore-Nevermore]

One of the girls literally testified from her deathbed

[niamhcawley]

My biggest problem is the "Radium is good for you, Everyone knows that" not only were they oblivious to the facts, they were told lies about it

[Princesspuffer]

To this day their remaining bones are radioactive. The Radium Girls were featured in the documentary The Poisoner's Handbook.

"Radium is good for you, Everyone knows that" makes me wonder what we are absolutely oblivious to in this time. man

[vegbeth]

Important story. A company that knew its products were toxic and knowingly poisoned women and girls. And similar stories still happening with toxic chemicals dumped in water and present in building materials and personal are products!

[dumbfridge]

I got an ad that said “do you want skin that lights up the room?” bad. timing.

[laurenconrad]

Joey King really impresses me. I know she’s been in a hundred Netflix teen rom coms and a few Disney channel shows in her younger years, but between this and The Act, she’s also making it clear that she’s intent on doing serious movies with complex, fascinating characters.

[gsundi]

I remember doing a presentation about the effects of radiation on humans and the environment in ninth grade and these women were a central part of it, but nobody including my teacher ever heard of them. It’s important to have a movie like this to make their story well known.

[rachelwaldner]

The sad part about all this is when Grace Fryer and the others first started going to court they weren't taken seriously until the first male worker died

[shilde]

Knowing what happened to these young women angers me so much. Makes me also think of what kind of things are we exposing ourselves to currently that we’ll later find out are fatal?!?!

[TheRazorTongue]

This is the lawsuit that led to the creation of OSHA.

[eosofspades_]

Fact: The first girl to die from radium poisoning was so afflicted, the doctor lifted her jaw right out of her face.

[jiujitsu]

The dial workers used to paint themselves with the luminescent paint for fun, and before leaving work on Friday evenings they would sprinkle the luminous powder on their dresses so when they attended the parties that night they would literally be glowing and would be the envy of the rest of the females in attendance. Crazy! The book was amazing, I heard about it on a podcast and flew through it in a couple days, I’m sure this movie or series will be great too.

[leapofsren]

I did an 8 page paper on the history of toxicology and when I say that the radium girls story shook me to the bottom of my high school I cant express how excited and happy I am to see this story finally getting a proper telling on the big screen. I want to cry for some reason

[marydye]

My father worked for US Radium from age of 20's- 70's and I have and many other class mates who parents worked of lived by the plant and have autoimmune disease. The plant is now EPA clean up. About damn time a movie was made!

[carlycrays]

Oh God, every time they lick that brush feels like a stab

[SynnJynn]

These girls wore the radium when they went out to dance. So horrible that they weren't told of the dangers.

[cooper]

Fun fact American Radium never admitted fault. Simply just a payout.

[indigolayne]

I was just in a stage production of Radium Girls and it was probably one of the most difficult shows I have ever been in. Capturing these poor girls suffering. This story is truly so moving and disturbing. I highly recommend looking into it.
