8. Frances Farmer
Frances Farmer, a distinguished mid-century American actress, achieved fame in the 1930s and ’40s, featuring in 15 movies with stars such as Bing Crosby and Cary Grant. However, her career was marred by personal and mental health issues.
Despite a career dip in the 1940s, Farmer staged a comeback on TV in the late 1950s, thanks to her husband, Leland Mikesell. She later faced a battle with esophageal cancer, ultimately passing away in 1970 at 57.
