Career
Payne worked as a model for artists before making her first film, Hollywood Hobbies (1935).[1] She became a leading lady in B films, which were usually westerns. She also played in comedy shorts for RKO Radio Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She is most remembered for playing Calamity Jane in Young Bill Hickok (1940).
Payne's characters were usually the tomboy type, often helping men rather than being dependent on them. She frequently wore men's clothing, carried a weapon, drove stagecoaches and rode horses.[2]
Later years
After Payne left acting, she ran her own book store[3] and worked as an artist, creating oil paintings for her family and her friends and illustrating a series of children's books.[4]
Personal life
Payne retired in 1942 after her marriage to Arthur F. Kelly.[1] She had previously been married to William Telaak, a marriage that ended in divorce in 1941.[4]
Death
On May 8, 1999, Payne died in Los Angeles[1] of a stroke at the age of 86.
