Manuskript / Papierantiquität
First Draft script for the 1982 film. Loosely based on William Arnold's 1978 novel "Shadowland," a heavily fictionalized and widely discredited account of the life of actress Frances Farmer, whose film career was famously halted in 1942 by rapid mental deterioration and a subsequent diagnosis with paranoid schizophrenia.

Widely considered among actress Jessica Lange's best performances. Blue titled leatherette wrappers. Title page present, dated March 19, 1981, noted as FIRST DRAFT, with credits for screenwriters Eric Bergren and Christopher DeVore (sic). 144 leaves, with last page of text numbered 143.
