Of a teenage runaway, a precocious troublemaker, a wannabe model willing to do just about anything to get what he wanted.īut the Colton Haynes who gets on a Zoom call on a recent spring afternoon is a very different person. Of a boy who learned all too early what his looks and sexuality could get for him-and more importantly what others could take. The early chapters of Colton Haynes’s new memoir, Miss Memory Lane, out 5/31, paint a portrait of a wild child bouncing from state to state with his unpredictable, alcoholic mother and, at times, his frequently violent father.
