		Barbara Payton’s meteoric plunge from the pinnacle of Hollywood fame into the bowels of L.A.’s back streets and alleys had brought her to where she was now, lying in a contorted heap beneath a mound of rotting trash.
		Payton and Cougar supported Adams's testimony that he was dining with them in Payton’s apartment at the time of the hit, but apparently their alibis were so weak and unconvincing that Adams was found guilty of perjury and remained imprisoned on the murder charge.

		Had she been born in 1967, instead of dying in that year, aged 39, ravaged beyond recognition, Barbara Payton, a beautiful Hollywood starlet turned Sunset Boulevard hooker turned bag lady, might have had a much easier time and made a success of her career.
		Not so for Payton, born in Minnesota in 1927, raised in Texas, and then moved to Hollywood by 1948, with one broken marriage already behind her and a contract with Universal in her purse.
		Payton was technically the victim of heart and liver failure, but in the larger sense it was life-failure that got her.

	dOc DVD Review: Bride of the Gorilla (1951) - Printable
		But when the dust settles, this is not much more than a vaguely supernatural jungle-gets-revenge flick featuring a hulking Raymond Burr wooing 1950s sexpot Barbara Payton deep in the South American jungle.
		Payton, who according to one character "looks good to any man", is full of tightly-wrapped, unadulterated jungle sex appeal, and it is easy to see how and why Burr's Barney is so blindly hot for her.
		Sexy Barbara Payton and dashing Tom Conway are almost worth the price of admission, but the story itself is all too familiar as Curt Siodmak re-visits territory better travelled in The Wolf Man.

	Sunset Gun: I Am Not Ashamed--Barbara Payton
		In blunt prose that reveals a con-artist's take on Hollywood (this lady knows a wolf), Payton is all at once, funny, wise, vain, humble, pathetic and very, very educational.
		Even after the book was published, Payton remained a handful--knifed by a trick, drinking ever-heavily and finally, tragically dying at the tender age of 39 of heart and liver failure.
		This is money well-spent on a gal who deserved millions for telling it like it was and how she wanted to tell it--even if some of it may have be made up.
