Frances Farmer's Biography
Glamorous Frances Farmer found early success in Hollywood, only to lead a life of tragedy later. Born in Seattle, Washington, to well-to-do parents, Farmer studied drama at the University of Washington. Upon her graduation, she went to Hollywood and was put under contract to Paramount Studios. That same year, she married fellow Paramount contract player Leif Ericson. Farmer's early films were very successful, but she proved to be too difficult for Paramount studio brass, who dropped her contract in 1940. Her marriage to Ericson quickly withered as well, and the couple divorced in 1942; Ericson married another Paramount contract player, Margaret Hayes, on the same day his divorce from Farmer was final. Later that year, Farmer was arrested for drunk driving, and her angry behavior during the arrest eventually led her parents to commit her to a sanitarium, where she suffered many indignities and a partial lobotomy. Farmer was released in the early 1950s and returned home to care for her parents until their deaths. She remarried in 1951, but the marriage had crumbled by the late 1950s. Farmer attempted to resume her acting career, taking roles on television shows such as Studio One and Special Agent 7. She made one more film, The Party Crashers, in 1958. Upon divorcing her second husband, Farmer married again and moved to Indianapolis, where she hosted a local television show for a number of years. Sadly, she passed away from cancer in 1970 at the age of 56.
