This is the autobiography of the movie star Frances Farmer.
From the back cover:
"[She] had everything. A latter-day Cinderella, she rose from a stormy, poverty-stricken childhood in Seattle to stardom on Broadway and in Hollywood in the turbulent thirties. She had beauty, talent, and a career that was the realization of the American dream. Then it all fell apart. And Frances Farmer was plunged into an unending nightmare of madness and degradation, of cruelty beyond endurance...and terror beyond belief."
