About This Item
N.p.: N.p., 1943. Two vintage photographs of actress Frances Farmer. One photograph shows a troubled Farmer in a glamor shot, circa 1930s, while the other shows her during a heavily publicized 1943 court hearing.
From the archive of film historian and author Joel Finler.
Farmer's film career was famously halted by rapid mental deterioration and a subsequent diagnosis with paranoid schizophrenia in 1942. Her posthumously released, ghostwritten, and widely discredited "autobiography" details claims of abuse and a forced lobotomy during the period she spent in an institution, and was the basis for a 1982 film starring Jessica Lange as Farmer.
8 x 10 inches. About Fine.
