“Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye: The Barbara Payton” by John O’Dowd, the most epic Hollywood crash and burn you’ve never heard of.
The nutshell version:
In 1950 Barbara Payton was a rising starlet making $10,000 a week while costarring with the likes of James Cagney and Gregory Peck.
In 1967 she died at the age of 39 as a bloated, battered, alcoholic $5.00 prostitute who was missing several of her front teeth.1 -
