Reviews

"beautiful and talented, actress Frances Farmer is best remembered for the horrific backstory of alcoholism, mental illness, and a lengthy stay in a sanitarium, marked by lurid tales of the filthy conditions and rumors of a lobotomy. The book's best-executed section considers Farmer's image in the popular media, notably the 1982 Jessica Lange film, Frances and Farmer's famous 1958 appearance on the TV show, This Is Your Life"--Library Journal; "the work is even-handed, examining Farmer's troubled life in a sensitive fashion"--Reference & Research Book News; "Shelley is to be congratulated on his research on Farmer's career and his determination to finally get the book published. Where this volume is at its most interesting is the biographical section...a volume that the casual and fanatical Frances Farmer fan will want to own"--Scarlet.
