Description
"Unlike previous biographies, Where Madness Lies begins in 1953 when Leigh suffered a nervous breakdown and was institutionalized. The tragic story unfolds as she tries to rebuild her life, salvage her career, and save her marriage. Featuring a wealth of unpublished material--including private correspondence--Lyndsy Spence reveals how this Hollywood luminary tragically fell victim to the draconian medical practices of the era."--,From publisher description.
