Peg Entwistle's name as her birth occurred, was Lillian Millicent Entwistle, on Wednesday, July 1st, 1908 in Port Talbot, Wales, United Kingdom. Growing up, she was interested in the stage and when she became older she worked primarily as a stage actress. Peg wanted to have a shot at Hollywood. She was enthralled with the lifestyle and wanted, so much, to make her mark on the silver screen. Peg tended to party with some of the Hollywood elite hoping to score a part, but nothing seemed to come of it. Although she had the stage to fall back on, she didn't want it. The films were her goal because it would help her to gain fame. In 1932, she achieved her dream at last. She played the character role of "Hazel Clay Cousins" in her only theatrical film, Hypnose (1932). Peg Entwistle must have still felt extremely bitter and sad, after her only theatrical film silver screen feature film, being a failure. On Sunday evening, September 18th, 1932, after a night of drinking and extremely deep depression, she climbed the 50 foot "capital H" of the HOLLYWOODLAND sign (that was re-named Hollywood, by real estate developments) and dove head first onto the ground killing herself immediately. Peg was only 24 years old and today is more remembered for her suicidal fate, rather than her acting skills.
