| | 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.
