How was Franchot Tone Beaten INTO A COMA Over Barbara Payton?

[@Libranpoet]

Thank you for this wonderful episode. Franchot always fascinated me. I didn't know much about him beyond his movies with Bogart and being married for awhile to Joan Crawford. Well done!

[@sallykohorst8803]

I never heard of him so thanks for another story on a star

[@veldasorrentino4216]

Never heard of him either….

One of my favourites .

Toward the end of his life he was often ill. His ex-wife Joan Crawford helped take care of him.

He wasn't buff enough to be a slugger. He should've been the guy who instantly ran when danger stepped up, 'cause guys like Mitchum and Oliver Reed were always tough enough. Gotta be smart if you're not tough, if not, guys like Tone get sent to Emergency, seriously injured. To suffer a broken jaw, nose and kept for 1-0 days in a hospital is no joke. There are laws of the jungle that all guys must learn, sooner than later. Tone was evidently a slow learner. A sad story.

Barbara thought that thing was gold lined

I liked Mr Tone in his movies with Deanna Durbin. Sounds like Barbara was less than moral.
