Barbara “MGM” Payton w/ Ruby McCollister

Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily

Lights! Camera! Scandal! Iconic downtown comedienne Ruby McCollister travels back in time with us to the halcyon days of the studio system, for infamous screen siren Barbara Payton, and her no-holds-barred memoir “I Am Not Ashamed.” From her five marriages to making $10k a week, the invention of e-girls, proto-butch theory, roach-infested apartments on Sunset and the world we leave behind, this is no cautionary tale—this is real life, baby!
