Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald

Despite their addictions, both Scott and Zelda were artistically productive in Baltimore. She wrote a novel, plays and became an accomplished painter. Scott struggled to finish "Tender Is the Night," a critical success but a financial flop. <BR><BR> Zelda became increasingly withdrawn, at times even catatonic. She moved to Sheppard Pratt Hospital, and eventually Scott moved her to another institution in Asheville, N.C. Though his hopes and dreams were dashed in Baltimore, Fitzgerald never blamed the city.
