Grace Metalious - information

Here's a typical piece of puffery on Peyton Place. The kind of thing aspiring writers do to pay their dues before they get to be big and important and on the Huffington Post and stuff like that.

A nice picture of Ms. Metalious, staged in that way that has passed looking "fake" and now looks "quaint".

I remember reading this some time ago. It's a very good piece on the whole Peyton Place phenomenon, and makes me want to see any biopics of her that might be made.

Expect more when they finally do the movie.
