Who was Chris McCandless? What was he looking for? Chris was a intelligent, ambitious, even complex person. I think he was searching for adventure, freedom, and independence. To live nomadically. Did he ever find what he was looking for? It seemed He struggled to completely immerse himself, and couldn't always stay in the wilderness. I think he was happy but only temporarily before he had to return to civilization. At least that's what I assume. I don't know if he truly ever found what he was looking for, no one could know. It might be hard to understand him because he's different from most people, he didn't want the exact things everyone else wanted. Unfortunately his desire and wants to live that nomadic lifestyle were unrealistic and interfered…

Glenda Farrell was born in Enid, Oklahoma on June 30, 1901 (as confirmed by both the 1910 and 1920 censuses, and later by the Social Security Administration when she was issued SSN 573-03-9877). However, her date of birth is almost always listed as June 30, 1904, because like many actresses of her time, she shaved a few years off of her real age. Her parents were Charles Farrell, a horse and dog trader of Irish and Cherokee descent, and Wilhemina Farrell, who was of Alsatian (French/German) descent. Wilhemina must have once had aspirations of acting, because she knew from the beginning that she wanted her daughter to be an actress. When Glenda was still very young, the Farrells moved to Wichita, Kansas, where she made her stage debut as Little Eva in Uncle Tom’s Cabin and received a formal education at the Mount Carmel Catholic Academy. The family later moved to San Diego, California. There, she joined the Virginia Brissac Stock Company.…
