Peyton Place

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peyton Place may refer to:

  • Peyton Place (novel), a 1956 novel by Grace Metalious
  • Peyton Place (film), a 1957 film, adapted from the novel
  • Peyton Place (TV series), a nighttime soap opera which ran on ABC from 1964 to 1969, also adapted from the novel
  • Many locations have been informally termed Peyton Places due to its use as a catch phrase to describe any place known for its sordid atmosphere or nefarious doings, and has subsequently been used as a synonym for a place with gossipy individuals, both of which motifs are prominent in the 1956 novel
