Congratulations to my writing colleague and screenplay partner Ciaran Creagh on the completion of his latest film, Samanta Nobody, in Ireland.
I heard from Ciaran today, and we are going to resume working on Barbara Payton's feature film project.

A #Christmas card actress #BarbaraPayton sent out one year, with her son John Lee on the cover. Barbara had more problems than most of us will ever know, but she had a lot of love for her son; something I know John Lee believed till his dying day.

I hope Barbara Payton's current increased visibility in the public's consciousness bodes well for her film project. Ciaran Creagh and I have worked very hard on it, and we both believe Barbara's life story deserves to be depicted onscreen.🤞

Besides being a talented actress, Barbara Payton was also a gourmet cook, an expert furniture reupholsterer and seamstress, a skilled home decorator, a generous party hostess, an avid reader, and a poet. In other words, she was a creative, intelligent, and worthwhile person.

Broken on the inside, but not a worthless or untalented person. Barbara Payton mattered to the people in her life, and she still matters today.
Barbara's life story is fascinating, and screenwriter and director Ciaran Creagh and I are working hard to get it filmed.
