A whole lotta thanks for posting these fascinating outres from our beloved "Czar of Noir", good ol' Eddie Muller. Wow....this one turned out to be a min-bio of starlet Barbara Payton. Lovely lady with a tragic life indeed.
"Payton first gained notice in the 1949 film noir Trapped co-starring Lloyd Bridges. In 1950, she was allowed to make a screen test for John Huston's production of the forthcoming MGM crime drama The Asphalt Jungle. The part of the sultry mistress of a mob-connected lawyer went to Marilyn Monroe."
