NOTES Unsuccessful attempt to film the novel by Sylvia Plath about a

woman's nervous breakdown while working for a magazine in

New York.

Plath married the British poet Ted Hughes and shortly after

committed suicide. Ted Hughes was vilified at the time but

much later wrote an acclaimed series of poems about his late wife. Hughes died this year, 1998.
