Frances Farmer was an actress in the '30s and '40s but she was also an extremely "rebellious" girl and since that didn't fit what society thought women should be like, she was sent to an insane asylum. She was not insane, or even mentally ill. She was raped, starved, tortured in unimaginable ways, and eventually lobotomized. Her story is magnificently sad, a perfect portrait of the inhumanity of humans, and she paid the most horrendous price, simply for not fitting in. Hm, I wonder why Kurt felt an affinity towards her...
