 | "Frances" [Brooksfilms/Universal Dec 1982]
A rebellious Seattle teenage beauty is signed for a 7-year Hollywood contract, but resists the promotion game.

Her attempt to restart her film career falters; she resorts to heavy drinking, suffers a mental breakdown, and is committed to a series of mental institutions. (The lobotomy never happened.) She works at a series of menial jobs, finally breaks with her overbearing mother, is honored on the TV program "This Is Your Life", and then finds success on a local TV interview show in Indianapolis. Directed by Graeme Clifford; starring Jessica Lange, Kim Stanley & Sam Shepard; Oscar noms for Best Actress (JL) & Best Supporting Actress (KS) Republic Pictures widescreen color DVD [6/99] out of prodn/used Republic Pictures color VHS [1998] out of prodn/many used full credits at IMDb • movie entry at Wikipedia |
