BABY PEGGY today holds the great honor of being the youngest star in
the world and has been for the past two years. Her first start was given
her in a dog comedy, and after a series of dogbaby pictures she was given
her opportunity to star in her own productions made by the Century Film
Corporation.
Baby Peggy's full name is Peggy Jean Montgomery. She was born in Merced,
Calif., on October 26, 1918, and is no more than thirty inches in height.
Peggy weighs no more than 68 pounds. Her hair and eyes are jet black. The
starlet has never worked for any other film company, although on two occasions
through the courtesy of her producers she appeared in Marshall Neilan's
"Penrod" and "Fools First."
Some of the important comedies in which Baby Peggy has starred are: "Little
Miss Mischief," "Betty, Be Good!" "The Little Rascal,"
"Tips," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Jack and the
Beanstalk" and "Hansel and Gretchel."
The child star only recently celebrated her fourth birthday by buying
a new home in Beverly Hills, a beautiful suburb of Hollywood, where Mary
Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charles Chaplin and others live. She has many
hobbies, although playing with her dolls stands at the head of the list. |
