Saratoga Springs is a city in Saratoga County, New York, USA. The population was 26,186 at the 2000 census. The name reflects the presence of mineral springs in the area. While the word "Saratoga" is known to be a corruption of a Native American place name, authorities disagree on what the exact word was, and hence what it meant.
The City of Saratoga Springs is in the center of Saratoga County in upstate New York.
Saratoga is a 1937 film written by Anita Loos and directed by Jack Conway. It starred Jean Harlow and Clark Gable in their sixth and final film collaboration. When filming was 90% completed, Harlow collapsed on the set and died about a week later, reportedly of uremic poisoning. MGM wanted to reshoot the movie with Virginia Bruce or Jean Arthur. However, Harlow fans complained, so the remaining scenes were filmed with double Mary Dees, with Paula Winslowe supplying the voice.
