162: Youth of Excess

Zelda Fitzgerald was married to the author F. Scott Fitzgerald, but was also a creative in her own right as a published author, dancer, and artist. Zelda is also one of the most famous "crazy" people, bouncing from one institution to another for the last twenty years of her life.
