Back story:
Her mother was a film-cutter at RKO who, widowed and insane, abandoned her to sequence of foster homes. She was almost smothered to death at two, nearly raped at six. At nine the LA Orphans' Home paid her a nickel a month for kitchen work while taking back a penny every Sunday for church. At sixteen she worked in an aircraft plant and married a man she called Daddy; he went into the military, she modeled, they divorced in 1946. She owned 200 books (including Tolstoy, Whitman, Milton), listened to Beethoven records, studied acting at the Actors' lab in Hollywood, and took literature courses at UCLA downtown. 20th Century Fox gave her a contract but let it lapse a year later.

Dimensions: 12" x 10"

What are StarFire crystals: StarFire crystals are curved crystal glass presentations which are created using a new technology that allows for a high resolution photograph to be fused permanently into crystal glass. Light passes through the image into the glass making every picture a true piece of art.
