AI notes: The infamous photograph of Frances Farmer from 1943 captures a pivotal moment in her tumultuous life. Taken during her arrest in Los Angeles, the image shows the actress being escorted by police officers, her demeanor reflecting the personal and professional challenges she faced during that period. In January 1943, Farmer was arrested at the Knickerbocker Hotel in Hollywood after a bench warrant was issued for her failure to pay a fine. The arrest followed a series of incidents, including a charge of assaulting a studio hairdresser and previous run-ins with the law. The photograph became emblematic of her struggles with mental health and the pressures of Hollywood life.
