Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye: The Barbara Payton Story

Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye: The Barbara Payton Story is the heartbreaking saga of the wild and free-spirited actress who hit Hollywood in the late 1940s, equipped with little more than a suitcase full of dreams, a ravenous hunger for fame and a devastating beauty---only to see each one of her dreams destroyed by a disastrous private life that led her straight through the gates of Hell. Gutsy, vulnerable--and doomed--Barbara Payton blazed across the motion picture stratosphere in record-time, only to collapse in a catastrophic free-fall from which she would never recover. Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye: The Barbara Payton Story is the only biography of Barbara Payton that has been fully sanctioned by her son John Payton, sister-in-law Jan Redfield and several other immediate family members and friends. At nearly 500 pages, the book contains over 200 images, including several rare photos of Barbara and her family that have never before been published. A feature film project on the life of Barbara Payton, based on the work and research of John O'Dowd, is also currently in development in Los Angeles. Click here to order this book!
