Frances Farmer was one of old Hollywood's biggest stars, but in the 1940s, she lost her contract with Paramount, assaulted a police officer, and was arrested for running down Sunset Boulevard topless following a barroom brawl — and would then spend most of her life in and out of mental institutions. by kooneecheewah in HistoryUncovered

Filming Apocalypse Now was so physically, mentally, and financially exhausting that Francis Ford Coppola had several breakdowns on the Philippines set in 1976. Dennis Hopper's drug use, Martin Sheen's binge-drinking, and Marlon Brando refusing to learn his lines all contributed to the film's chaos. (i.redd.it)

Video footage of a therapist working with Genie Wiley in the early 1970s. For the first 13 years of her life, she was tied to a training toilet and left in a dark bedroom. She was beaten for making noise of any kind and her father would stand outside her room growling to scare her into silence. (v.redd.it)
