- Following the infamous brawl for her affections between actors Tom Neal and Franchot Tone in Hollywood, actress Barbara Payton went on a multi-city promotional tour for her film, "Drums in the Deep South". While in Durham, NC., Barbara did this five-minute interview with a local radio station.
This very rare recording is being shared here for the first time by me, John O'Dowd (Barbara's biographer). I hope you will enjoy hearing the "real" Barbara as much as I do. As you will see, she was a very intelligent and witty person, with a light and playful side to her personality. I especially like her comment at the end of the interview when the announcer asks Barbara if she would come back to Durham sometime and bring Franchot Tone with her. Barbara's response is honest and actually quite charming! I also like the inflection in her voice when she says the word "bye". It's very contemporary-sounding, I think.
Enjoy this rare interview with the beautiful and talented Barbara Payton. - Hudba
What a lovely interview. I enjoyed this.
A wonderful treasure.
Poor Barbara Payton. Thank you for pointing this!!
James Fox You're welcome. You can hear in this interview that Barbara possessed a great deal of warmth, poise and charm. What happened to her life is a huge tragedy.
Poor Barbara? Virtually everything she did was self inflicted and self defeating. Really on the road to nowhere by this point, and she didn't care.
@@mrjones29 Right. She was emotionally ill and completely lost. Her family and friends - the people who COUNT - continue to love her to this day.
I'm somebody that lived on Skid Row shot dope drank now I'm in my 50s and I did a complete turnaround she's an inspiration for me to get clean you see I read her book I'm not ashamed 6 years ago and I threw in the towel I'm a guy and I was trying $20 tricks Intercity roach-infested Hotel in Boston wow my heart Daddy Again working out no dope no booze my only weakness is I Vape what's better than three packs of cigarettes a day I'm at the gym everyday and I'm a drug counselor now making 30 bucks an hour so thank you Barbara I love you
I’m inspired to hear your story, too. Your big life changes are amazing. I wish you all the happiness!
I bought on Amazon the book written on her, so sad they didn't know how to treat PROPERLY bi-polarism. Her family didn't get her and alchohlism seemed to be a big problem in her family.... she was a true beauty and talent, may she R.I.P.
Thanks for posting this. It's great to hear Barbara's much-talked-about laugh. By the way: your book is extraordinary!!
I live in North Carolina. Been to Durham several times. I wish I could travel back in time to Durham then and meet Miss Payton. I saw her in the movie with James Cagney. Sorry to hear she ended up tragic.
Just finished listening to NPR interview with Sharon Stone. What a difference in self-confidence women have today. Great story-telling with no giggling. Big difference.
Very cool.
I just finished Barbara's autobiography. is your book available with amazon? what a beautiful woman, it's a shame no one tried to help her all the way until she was sober.
Hi Liliane,
Yes, my book, "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye: The Barbara Payton Story" is available on Amazon. Here is the link for it: www.amazon.com/Tomorrow-Goodbye-Barbara-Payton-Story/dp/1593934432/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1466038152&sr=1-4 Thank you very much for wanting to learn more about Barbara's life and career. Best wishes, John O'Dowd
great! I'm going to get a copy tonifght
People who suffer from addictions have to *want* to be helped. The desire must come from within. I know, first-hand.
@@edwardjames50 in those days, they didn't have detoxes, rehabs, halfway houses, therapeutic communities; as they do to today, to conquer alcohol/drug additions. I believe Barbara wanted to stop, the right help was just not available.....!!
@@moonglow1311 Of course she didn't. The 1940s had drying out clinics everywhere the studio bosses snuck a star or 5 off to for help with sex, drink and drug addiction. Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Errol Flynn. Marie McDonald was exactly like Payton - loose morals, slept around, drink/drugs and dead within two years of Payton's demise from the same disease.
She’s buried by one of my Grandparents.
She was much more attractive and sexier than Marilyn Monroe.
Behave yourself. There was 30 other B movie actresses more sexier than BP.
Marilyn Monroe is prettier and a better actress.
A bit of a stretch Snead
She sounds so sane
Barbara Payton was also a poet. I recite her one known poem here:

Fluff interview as expected.
Kinda wondering what you would preferred to heather say?
She was really a manipulator--she screwed up Tom Neal and Franchot Tone's lives and messed up her own career and did an autobiography for $1000 when her career bombed.
Barbara was extremely emotionally ill, and truly a lost soul. I'm not giving her a pass for her bad behavior, but I do know what was behind it (in part).
She's an inspiration for me I'm a recovering heroin addict and it's hard to get your bearings back at when you when you get f***** up on drugs but I'm making a comeback and I'm in my fifties now working-out become quite the hot man again
So sad how she had such potential and destroyed it all. Why oh why do so many beautiful and talented people throw their lives away? ❤
