Description

Previous biographies of American actress Frances Farmer (1913-1970) have downplayed her professional achievements to emphasize her turbulent personal life, including several police arrests and repeated confinements in a state mental hospital.

By focusing upon Frances' acting career, this book endeavors to restore her position as a significant Hollywood player of the 1930s, '40s and '50s.

An analysis of her film, radio and television work is offered, as well as assessments of the three Frances Farmer biopics and the documentaries in which she is featured.

Each of Frances' 16 films receives a chapter-length discussion.

A brief biographical chapter is also included.
