Description: This narrative re-telling of the Frances Farmer story is told from the actress' point of view. The protagonist is presented as starlet, icon, leftist and victim. The film, part fiction, part document, presents the social, psychological and political issues that shaped Farmer's life and the era in which she lived, a period guided by the indictments of Senator Joseph McCarthy and the theories of Sigmund Freud.
