Jo Van Fleet East of Eden 1956

The film “East of Eden” adapted from John Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. Steinbeck as a “psychic monster” has described Jo Van Fleet character of Cathy Ames with a “malformed soul.” Cathy goes through several twists and turns as she navigates her way through the world of sex work. She eventually changes her name to Kate as she reaches the top of the sex trade industry. By becoming a bordello madam. She had deserted her family to pursue her work as a prostitute. But even with her success, she cannot escape the lives of the children she abandoned. In the end, probably feeling remorse for all of her evil deeds, Kate commits suicide.
