No matter how hard she tries, Ellen will never be Scarlett O'Hara. As a little girl in South Carolina, she prefers playing Tarzan to playing Jane. As a teenage beauty queen, she baffles her elders with her Freedom Riding sympathies. And as a young woman in the 1960s and '70s, she hypnotizes her way to Harvard and finds herself as a lesbian before nearly losing herself to booze and shamans.
