She takes the bus to work and is doing Judy Garland's makeup for the bulk of the chapter.

Following this chapter, there is a chapter devoted to Ethel, Judy's (Frances') mother. She shows up early for work at the Douglas Aircraft Company. So she decides to wait in her car and put on her makeup but she gets caught up in her thoughts. She then realizes that she has been so deep in thought that she is now late for work and also didn't finish applying her makeup. She gets out of her car and dies in the parking lot.(less)
