Marilyn Hassett, Julie Harris, Barbara Barrie, Anne Jackson, Robert Kline and Donna Mitchell.Summary: This stirring drama is based on the internationally best-selling autobiography by renowned poet Sylvia Plath. It is the story of a gifted young poet, Esther Greenwood, whose inner genius has trapped her in a private world of terror. Like author Plath, a suicide victim at the height of her career, Esther can\'t seem to harmonize all the harsh realities of her life with her own perfectionist thinking. From college, through early job hunting and singles life in New York, we see Esther and her friends coping with the pressures of school, sexual relationships and drugs until each reaches the final path for their adult lives. The Bell Jar is a gripping and emotional account of a young girl\'s turbulent journey into womanhood.
