1949 when she has an illicit, six-month affair with married man Bob Hope, Universal-International abruptly terminates her contract.
For several months in 1949, Hope enjoyed an affair with sexpot actress Barbara Payton. 'She followed Hope around the country, moved into a furnished apartment that he rented for her in Hollywood, and when the affair ended in August, was paid off by Hope to keep quiet about it,' Zoglin, quoting Payton's biographer, wrote in his book. 'If so, it didn’t stop Payton . . . from selling her story to Confidential magazine in 1956, a rare breach in the wall of secrecy that surrounded Hope’s sex life.'
