There were, of course, in addition to the\r\nroles briefly mentioned here more work in Hollywood and on television. And\r\nthere was also private life, which included his exactly fifty-year marriage, as\r\nwell as his children. The book is sufficiently illustrated with b \/ w\r\nphotographs, mostly privately shot photos. If you want, you can also get a\r\nhardcover edition for the price of US $ 34.95 (ISBN\r\n978-1-59393-210-7). Fess Parker died of natural causes in 2010 at the age\r\nof 85. what his exactly fifty-year marriage, and his children belonged\r\nto. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e-- Ulrich K.

Throughout the decades, audiences thrilled to the glamour of the musicals of Busby Berkley and were emotionally invested in stories about Austrian nuns and the King of Siam with the musicals from Rodgers and Hammerstein. With the advent of Rock ’n Roll, Heavy Metal, R\u0026amp;B, Motown, Punk Rock, and Disco entering the public consciousness, musicals started to sing a very different tune.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Into the 1970s, the movie musical became a daring, dangerous, and divinely decedent cinema experience.

They pushed the envelope, embraced subculture topics, and often veered into spectacularly misguided directions, with author Lee Gambin taking us on a year-by-year odyssey - from 1970 to 1980 - of music-themed cinema in a massive, 812-page volume that covers everything from acclaimed hits (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, HAIR, NASHVILLE) to the most obscure cult fare (Phillippe Mora's TROUBLE IN MOLOPOLIS, the Russian fantasy ROCK N' ROLL WOLF). There's something here for everyone's tastes, including gritty dramas (ALL THAT JAZZ, SPARKLE), rock operas and concert films (TOMMY, ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS), off-beat high-concepts (THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL, BUGSY MALONE), dreadful miscasting (Neil Diamond in THE JAZZ SINGER, Peter O'Toole in THE MAN OF LA MANCHA), auteur oddities (Robert Altman's POPEYE, Ken Russell's THE BOYFRIEND), musical TV-efforts (KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM OF THE PARK, Kirk Douglas' DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE), utter fiascos (LOST HORIZON, SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEART'S CLUB BAND), as well as loads of delightful dementia (PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, THE APPLE, THE PAUL LYNDE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL). It's also generously sprinkled with interviews: Lesley Ann Warren recalls IT'S A BIRD... IT'S A PLANE... IT'S SUPERMAN, P.J. Soles on ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL, Austin Pendleton on THE MUPPET MOVIE, John LaZar on BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, Valerie Perrine on CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC, and many more.

Today, Barbara Payton \r\n(1927-67) is not remembered for her accomplished performances in \u003cem\u003eTrapped\u003c\/em\u003e (1949) and Cagney’s \u003cem\u003eKiss Tomorrow Goodbye\u003c\/em\u003e (1950), or her camp classic, \u003cem\u003eBride of the Gorilla\u003c\/em\u003e (1951), or, even, that she acted alongside Gregory Peck (\u003cem\u003eOnly the Valiant\u003c\/em\u003e,\r\n 1951). No, as good as Payton was in these films, her reputation rests \r\non two things: the Franchot Tone\/Tom Neal brawl for her affections, and \r\nher outrageous 1960s memoir, \u003cem\u003eI\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eAm Not Ashamed\u003c\/em\u003e, where it was revealed that she became a prostitute when her movie days ended.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eBut\r\n to base your judgment of Payton on these two things would be too \r\nnarrow-minded, too simplistic. She wasn’t evil, as many have made her \r\nout to be. She was human. She made mistakes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eBut\r\n I only partially agree with the author that Hollywood was mostly to \r\nblame. The town didn’t exactly chew her up and spit her out. Hollywood \u003cem\u003ewas\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n brutal, and never forgave her, but her mistakes were of her own making.\r\n O’Dowd knows her faults and your wrong decisions and is unflinching \r\nabout them, but the urge to make Hollywood an “evil town” springs up \r\nmore than once. (“First, Hollywood takes your body. Then, it takes your \r\nsoul. Once it has both of those things, it has no use for you anymore.”)\r\n Yes, Hollywood contributed to her downfall, but it wasn’t the \u003cem\u003ecause\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eBe\r\n that as it may, one can’t help but feel sorry for Barbara Payton, and \r\nin this book O’Dowd has done a truly remarkable thing. Other authors \r\nhave taken the standard, accusatory stance, defining her character by \r\nfocusing on her scandals. O’Dowd, on the other hand, seems to see into \r\nher soul, bringing out the good side so seldom (if ever) mentioned. This\r\n insight is sadly missing in other profiles of Payton. O’Dowd makes us \r\ncare for this lady, so that when her downfall comes so early in her \r\nlife, you feel compassion for her. Even during all the problems with the\r\n law, our sympathy is still with her. Payton is shown to be hopelessly \r\nstuck, unable to escape the life she made for herself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eO’Dowd’s\r\n ability to make us see Barbara Payton as a human being is impressive. \r\nTo do this, he not only had to break out of the stereotypical mold used \r\nby others, but also he had to go that extra mile in his research and \r\nwriting. His extra effort pays off big time, elevating his text far \r\nabove the tabloid-style writing that dominates too many celebrity bios.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eA\r\n big, big plus is the collection of interviews the author conducted in \r\nthe nearly ten years he researched this book. He interviewed family \r\nmembers, co-workers, and acquaintances, resulting in an almost \r\nastonishing day-by-day record of what Payton was doing. I know from \r\nexperience that people close to controversial subjects tend to clam up. \r\nIn this day and age of sensationalized biographies, who’s to know how an\r\n author will handle the information he is given? It’s a credit to John \r\nO’Dowd’s skills as a writer, coupled with his personal sensitivity, that\r\n he was trusted with the inside stories he gets here. It says a lot that\r\n Barbara’s son, who has remained silent all these years, decided to not \r\nonly be interviewed, but also wrote the touching foreword.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eO’Dowd\r\n strikes a balance that is very rare, especially considering the \r\nalcohol, sex, drugs, hot tempers, suicide attempts, “frantic” searches \r\nfor attention, and crime that make up much of this book. Remarkably, you\r\n never feel as if O’Dowd is exploiting Barbara. \u003cem\u003eHere it is,\u003c\/em\u003e he says, \u003cem\u003ethis is what happened\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ebut, wait\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ehere are the reasons why\u003c\/em\u003e.

As good as it is, however, \r\nit is not perfect. There’s some repetition, especially near the end. \r\nAfter she passes away, O’Dowd goes on for almost thirty more pages so \r\neveryone who knows her can again tell us their opinions about her. It \r\ndoesn’t seriously hamper the text, but it was too much for me. However, \r\nJohn O’Dowd is a good writer, and although I found this part \r\nsuperfluous, it was all very well written.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e      \r\n The photos, over 200 of them, many never before published, are simply \r\nmagnificent. I especially enjoyed the photos of some of the places \r\n(bars, motels, etc.) where Barbara hung out. I recall someone \r\ncomplaining online that Barbara wasn’t in these shots. However, I found \r\nthe often-dirty-looking places eerily atmospheric and fascinating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eI\r\n couldn’t have predicted my reaction to this book. All I’ve ever known \r\nabout Barbara was what others knew: She was a bad girl. After all, \r\ndidn’t she destroy both Franchot Tone’s and Tom Neal’s lives? Didn’t \r\nthat “vixen” play the two against each other? After reading this, \r\nhowever, I finally saw the whole picture. And, I must say, I saw Barbara\r\n not as the one-dimensional figure the newspapers painted of her as, but\r\n as a directionless person who just made those wrong decisions. No other\r\n book or article has managed this on Payton. Especially with her sad, \r\nheart-wrenching relationship with her son, you understand what was \r\nhappening with her.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eWith a \r\nlife like Barbara’s, a biographer could have been tempted to gloss over \r\nher work. After all, her career was not that important even to her in \r\nthe beginning. But, O’Dowd discusses each film, with the right amount of\r\n details (no excessive plots, thank goodness): \u003cem\u003eSilver Butte\u003c\/em\u003e (1949), \u003cem\u003ePecos Pistol\u003c\/em\u003e (1949\u003cem\u003e), \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce More, My Darling\u003c\/em\u003e (1949), \u003cem\u003eTrapped\u003c\/em\u003e (1949), \u003cem\u003eKiss Tomorrow Goodbye\u003c\/em\u003e (1950), \u003cem\u003eDallas\u003c\/em\u003e (1950), \u003cem\u003eOnly the Valiant\u003c\/em\u003e (1950), \u003cem\u003eDrums in the Deep South\u003c\/em\u003e (1951), \u003cem\u003eBride\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eof the Gorilla\u003c\/em\u003e (1951), \u003cem\u003eFour Sided Triangle\u003c\/em\u003e (1952), \u003cem\u003eBad Blonde\u003c\/em\u003e (1952), \u003cem\u003eRun for the Hills\u003c\/em\u003e (1953), \u003cem\u003eThe Great Jesse James Raid\u003c\/em\u003e (1953), and \u003cem\u003eMurder Is My Beat\u003c\/em\u003e (1955). I like the way he handled the films, especially in regard to her performances. I disagreed with his assessment of \u003cem\u003eBad Blonde\u003c\/em\u003e, but reveled in his lively report on the campy \u003cem\u003eRun for the\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eHills\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eAnother\r\n indication of the intelligence of O’Dowd’s writing is seen in his \r\nfairness to the people in Barbara’s life. Onetime husband Franchot Tone \r\nand boyfriend Tom Neal are not pitted against each other here. While \r\nothers depict Tom Neal as a bad force in her life, O’Dowd treats him \r\nimpartially, giving us both the good and the bad. Tone, too, could have \r\ncome across as a stodgy obstacle between the love Payton and Neal’s \r\nshared for each other. Frankly, this is how these two men are always \r\nportrayed by other writers. For insight into Neal, O’Dowd interviewed \r\nhis nephew who stayed with Neal and Payton. For Franchot Tone, O’Dowd \r\nhad the good fortune to be assisted by his official biographer, Lisa \r\nBurks. (Lisa’s book on Tone will be released sometime in late 2008 by \r\nBearManor Media.) I was greatly impressed by the insight that both the \r\nnephew and Lisa possess.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eBarbara\r\n Payton had plenty of troubles in her life. She does not need more \r\ncriticism from unfeeling enemies who routinely condemn her. One author \r\neven calls Barbara “a monster” and has the audacity to compare her to \r\nHitler! Clearly, she needs a champion, and she gets a good one in John \r\nO’Dowd.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eThen you have the \r\nheartfelt words of her son, who well remembers the loving mother who was\r\n taken away from him. I am not embarrassed to say that I got choked up \r\nreading his foreword and his memories of his loving mother. “I think \r\nabout her in some way, every single day,” John Lee Payton says. “In my \r\nmind there is little notice today of the tortured movie star, or the \r\nruin visited upon her. There is only the simple love a child feels for \r\nhis mother, a kind of awe and wonder, and a yearning to return once more\r\n to that sweet embrace, to feel her happy kiss and the secure certainty \r\nof being held safe within her arms. These are the feelings I have for my\r\n mother, and nothing, or no one, can touch them.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eAnother\r\n family member says, “No matter how short her fame, and no matter how \r\nshort her life, Barbara has had a long lasting effect on the people who \r\nreally knew her.” This is the enduring message here. The beauty of this \r\nbook is found in the way the author allows her family’s love to shine \r\nthrough the horrors of her life. I respect and admire John O’Dowd for \r\nfinding the light in the darkness. Barbara Payton’s emotionally-draining\r\n life finally makes sense. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eFrom Van Helsing's Journal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eUndertaken\r\n with the complete cooperation of Payton's estate and featuring a \r\nforeword penned by her son, Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye neither \r\nsensationalizes nor trivializes the life of this tormented and \r\nirrevocably damaged soul. Despite an obvious empathy for his subject \r\nO'Dowd manages to tread a fine line between partisan and impartial, and \r\nmakes no effect either to moralize or sugarcoat the degradation of \r\nPayton's final years. He quotes both from extensive interviews with \r\nPayton's surviving friends, family, co-stars and associates, as well as \r\nfrom abundant contemporary source material, and in doing so paints the \r\ndefinitive picture of this singular, sad life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eO'Dowd's\r\n book is dotted with some 250 photographs, many of them extremely rare, \r\ndetailing every phase of Payton's turbulent existence. Those taken in \r\n1949 and 1950 prove a heartrending counter to later shots depicting the \r\ndissolute starlet's descent into alcoholism; gone is the confident, \r\nstunningly beautiful actress whose lasting success is all but assured, \r\nand in her stead sits a plump, waxen and slightly stunned looking \r\nfigure, one who, perhaps, never fully came to terms with the cruel and \r\nunexpected twist the last decade of her life would take.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eBarbara\r\n Payton spent a few all-too-short years in the limelight, and the bulk \r\nof her remaining years enshadowed in addiction and self-loathing.

Though it is a harrowing and by no means easy journey, this\r\n comprehensive exploration of the film industry's seamy underbelly \r\nultimately stands as one of the most well-crafted and solidly researched\r\n celebrity biographies of recent memory, and a deftly compelling \r\ndissection of one Hollywood dream that more closely resembled a
