Expand Full Bio
Intelligent leading lady of the late 1930s whose promising career was curtailed by her reputation as a rebellious and exacting actress, her left-wing politics and most importantly, a degree of alcoholism brought on by the pressures of sudden fame. After suffering a nervous breakdown in 1944, Farmer spent much of that decade in mental institutions. Her life story was told in the feature films "Frances" (1982), starring Jessica Lange, and "Committed" (1983), starring co-director Sheila McLaughlin, and in a made-for-TV movie starring Susan Blakely based on Farmer's posthumously published autobiography, "Will There Really Be A Morning?" Farmer was married to actor Leif Erickson from 1934 to 1942, revived her career on stage to some extent beginning in the late 50s and died of cancer at the age of 56.
