Couldn't find much about her, but since I didn't know she existed before my search, I learned everything there was on the internet! Everything in this blog is from either the Wiki article or the IMDB page.
Upon her birth, Zelda reportedly said that she hoped Frances would be a "beautiful little fool." In The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan says this at the birth of her daughter. Ah, fiction from life.
A writer, political activist, patron of the arts, and newspaper reporter, serving on the staffs of Time, The New Yorker, The Democratic Digest, and The Northern Virginia Sun, where she was chief political writer. She also wrote for The New York Times and The Washington Post. Also a playwright, composer, producer of musicals, and a Democratic Party activist.
Author of three books: 'Don't Quote Me' (about the women of the Washington press); 'The Romantic Egotists' (a pictorial biography of her parents); and 'An Alabama Journal 1977', (written after her return to Montgomery in 1973).
Married twice, she had four children (this from the wiki article-IMDB claims 3 from the second marriage, difficult to corroborate anything on her!)
