What's the illness does the Jenny Forrest Gump death scene is heartbreaking, but some viewers are still unsure how Jenny from Forrest Gump dies. Portrayed by Robin Wright, Jenny in Forrest Gump endures traumatic experiences as a child, and later becomes associated with the counter-culture movement in '70s San Francisco.
