See the note below; of cult 1930s actress Frances Farmer) starring Jessica Lange (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Frances Farmer), Jonathan Banks, Bonnie Bartlett, James Brodhead, Sam Shepard, Anjelica Huston, and Kim Stanley (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). Note that Frances Farmer is a legendary actress of the 1930s, partly for her great beauty and acting talent, and partly due to her great personal troubles, which resulted in her being institutionalized. A few years ago, I was informed by researcher Jeffrey Kauffman that the story of her being lobotomized is actually an urban legend! This myth was spread in a book and movie of Farmer's life, and it will be difficult to ever convince people that it is not true. In any event, Farmer was an extremely beautiful and talented actress, and original movie posters and lobby cards from her movies are highly sought after by collectors, but few are ever offered for sale!

Although the stills are not stamped, our consignor is an expert in the field and we are confident that he is correct! Condition: good to very good.
