Frances

Born in Seattle, Washington, Frances Elena Farmer is a rebel from a young age, winning $100.00 in 1931 from The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards for a high school essay called ''God Dies''. In 1935, she becomes controversial again when she wins, and accepts an all-expenses-paid trip to the Soviet Union to visit its Moscow Art Theatre. Determined to become an actress, Frances is equally determined not to play the Hollywood game: she refuses to acquiesce to publicity stunts, and insists upon appearing on screen without makeup. She marries her first husband, Dwanye Steele, despite being advised not to, but cheats on him with alleged Communist Harry York on the night of her hometown's premiere of ''Come and Get It (1936 film)''. Her defiance attracts the attention of Broadway theatre playwright Clifford Odets, who convinces Frances that her future rests with the Group Theatre (New York).
