Welcome to Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge: On Seattle's News Coverage of Farmer's Fall. This blog is (obviously) dedicated to presenting how The Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer covered Seattle-born actress Frances Farmer's fall from stardom into insanity. This blog is not concerned with the history of Frances Farmer, but rather how she was portrayed by Seattle's main newspapers of the time.
All of the newspaper clippings shown here are from the University of Washington's microfilm newspaper collection and unfortunately are not available elsewhere online (unless you want to pay The Seattle Times' archive fee). Any information provided not found directly in the newspaper articles was found on HistoryLink.org in their articles concerning Frances Farmer (see sidebar for links).
Enjoy.
