Memories of Frances Farmer

A Tourist's Thrill

Thanx for all your emails but if you send emails through this site I can process them better.  I appreciate the people who have found a way to contact me. 

I found myself watching the Frances Farmer movie tonight and I couldn't help but understand it as a statement of the political atmosphere in the 1950's when low-down dirty tactics could put an appealing movie star away for what we know was a politically motivated attack to give certain politicians a public relations edge over others.  I have been similarly treated as Frances Farmer but I haven't yet had a motion picture made which shows the turmoil involved in such a situation.  There are many similarities between me and her as I mentioned and I hope to see a movie like the one Jessica Lange starred in written about me.

The same political machine--the CIA runs it--exists for the purpose of elevating the unpopular in Washington into a status which their character and out-of-touch attitudes don't support.  I guess we've seen the crazy conservative hacks on tv who shouldn't be allowed on tv.  You know these horrible people who look like they're stuck in the Middle Ages before the Top Ten List--The Bill of Rights--became vogue.  It's actually always been a tourist attraction for foreigners and emigrants to the States.  It is a strong beacon and still reads just as it did in the 1780's when it was quilled in the City of Brotherly Love. 

They felt love for each other and saw a future together.  Shine that single candle on your dinner table and mention to your kids and guests even though it's hokey how the light still shines today despite the low down and dirty tricksters who see just the path to people's wallets with their piece of that light. 

Shine a light on a non-holiday dinner and make a simple comment about the light.  It doesn't need to be fancy.  It is the thought that counts.
