Biography
American actress, a leading lady known as "Miss Sex-Appeal of 1937." She made a film debut in "Too Many Parents," 1935, played on stage, movies and radio. With a bent for self-destruction, she went on a course of drinking, affairs, parties, arrests and rowdy conduct. Farmer eloped with Leif Erickson 2/08/1936 but they separated the following year when she had an affair with Clifford Odets. Her agent sued her for $75,000 for breach of contract but the suit was dismissed.
Farmer's mom had her committed to an institution in May 1945 for five years, during which she was given shock treatments. When she was released, on 7/27/1953 she got a court order discharging her mom as her legal guardian. She married in 1953, for five years. On 8/12/1957, she made a comeback, returning to stage. Her third wedding was on 3/27/1958. On 10/01/1958, Farmer began hosting a TV interview show for six years. She was drinking more heavily by then.
Farmer died of throat cancer 8/01/1970, Indianapolis, IN. Her autobiography "Will There Really be a Morning?" was published posthumously in 1972.
