Description:

This is the true story of Barbara Payton … her bold, shockingly frank, completely uninhibited autobiography. She sold both her body and her soul to achieve the dizzying heights of stardom … but she also planted the seeds of her degradation and destruction!

When her $10,000-a-week silver screen lifestyle was torn from her grasp, it left her to ultimately sell her body on the Sunset Strip for $5 a night and seek out an existence on cheap wine and the comfort of strangers. Was she a sexual revolutionary ahead of her time, or a lady of the night whose price merely dropped with her once-stunning looks? You decide, as you read this shocking true story …
