Late in the 1950's Frances moved to Indianapolis, Indiana. Her career there is as fascinating as she was deeply involved with the community as well as hosting her own and highly rated afternoon movie program for 6 years, "Frances Farmer Presents". She also occasionally acted nearby at Purdue University in the college Theatre. Frances was a true Hoosier.
