Jennifer Lawrence will play the titular Zelda Fitzgerald, a novelist, socialite and the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
These issues will be explored in Ron Howard’s new film Zelda, which, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is centred around the question: Can love exist between creative equals?
She would later write a semi-biographical novel in which the protagonist tries to establish herself independently of her husband.
Her mental health worsened, and in April 1930 Zelda was admitted to a sanatorium where she was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
