Baby Peggy

BABY PEGGY was born in Merced, California, on October 26th., 1918, and has appeared on the screen continuously ever since she was able to sit up. At first she appeared in Century Comedies with "Brownie," the wonder dog, but later producers realized her value, and starred her in a long series of comedies. Terminating her contract with her screen sponsors, she was starred by Sol Lesser, and has since appeared in a highly successful series of full length starring vehicles. Her father, J. Travers Montgomery, deserves the credit for having developed the dramatic powers of his charming little daughter, he being her constant companion. She is a perfectly natural child, mothers her many dollies as any other child would, is very fond of dumb animals, and has wonderful brown eyes and a wealth of brown hair.
