	Actors - Peyton Place

Peyton Place is a 1957 American motion picture drama based on the bestselling novel by Grace Metalious. Shocking at the time of its initial release, it's a story about the lives and loves of the residents of a small New England town in the years immediately preceding and following World War II whose tranquil façade hides scandal and hypocrisy. At the core of its plot are three women - Constance Mackenzie, who has shielded the truth about her past from daughter Allison, an aspiring author, and Selena Cross, a "good" girl living on the "wrong side of the tracks."

A major box office hit, Peyton Place was the second highest grossing film of 1958.
