Barbara Payton Facts
The film industry finally shut her out when she began flaunting the interracial relationship she was involved in, with black actor Woody Strode.

Later in life, she carried a statue of St. Jude with her.

In September, 1949, her boyfriend, Don Cougar, a movie extra and drug dealer, beat up her elderly landlady in the middle of the night in a dispute over the amount Barbara owed for rent. In 1950, Barbara and Cougar were called before a Federal Grand Jury to testify in the perjury trial of Stanley Adams. Adams was a drug dealer already serving time for the murder of Abe Davidian, an informant. Barbara and Cougar supplied Adams with an alibi, but it was weak, and Adams was found guilty of perjury.
