Found this about Frances Farmer.
She only lived a short life; Born 1913, died 1970...smoker?
She had a troubled life; was arrested and confined to mental hospitals...
And I found this in her bio...
"In the spring of 1970, Farmer was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which was attributed to a life of heavy smoking."

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.She was lobotomized. My understanding was that she had some, by today's standards, minor mental health issues. I wonder if being atheist was considered to be one of them.

You made me read the bio...
...and although I didn't find "lobotomy" in there, I found this;
"In the spring of 1970, Farmer was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, which was attributed to a life of heavy smoking"...
