Jenny’s Death
A heartbreaking moment in the film is undoubtedly when Jenny passes away from an unknown virus a mere year after she and Forrest finally tie the knot. While the virus is never named, seeing as how it took place at the height of the AIDS crisis, viewers can only assume this was the cause. However that’s not what the author wrote in the book. Winston Groom wrote in Bubba & Co., the sequel, that Jenny was infected with hepatitis C from her drug usage.
