Auction History Result 2d154 BARBARA PAYTON 8x10.25 still '51 the sexy blonde in flimsy costume from Only the Valiant! Date Sold 10/5/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Barbara Payton was an actress from the 1940s to the 1950s. Some of her movies include: Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, Trapped, Bad Blonde, Run for the Hills, and Only the Valiant. Sadly, this actress is far more remembered for her off-screen career than for the movies she made! She had affairs with many actors of the time, including 1930s star Franchot Tone, and Tom Neal almost killed Franchot Tone in a real-life fight over her (Tone was in the hospital, and after he got out, he married Payton, but their marriage only lasted seven weeks, after which she returned to Tom Neal)! Not surprisingly, her movie career fizzled out and she sank lower and lower, becoming an alcoholic, and eventually becoming a prostitute in Hollywood, and providing endless tabloid headlines. She passed away in 1967 at the age of 39, and is undoubtedly one of the saddest Hollywood stories. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that this still has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has "TRR" running down the center. One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that the still (and many others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of the stills is stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: very good. There is slight darkening and a few small creases around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
