"very impressive...a compelling story that is a must for anyone interested in cinema's rich history"-- Examiner.com ; "For the first time, author James Zeruk reveals the rich, true life story of talented stage actress Lillian Millicent "Peg" Entwistle and her connection to the Hollywoodland Sign."--Mary Mallory, author of Hollywoodland ; "Peg Entwistle has gone down in history for her tragic suicide, becoming a figure rather than a genuine person in the minds of those who are aware of her. James Zeruk has done the research to discover just who Peg Entwistle was, detailing her accomplishments, triumphs, and failures in a compelling story that is a must for anyone interested in cinema's rich history."--James L. Neibaur, author and film historian; "For decades, the truth about Peg Entwistle was shrouded in mystery and distorted by myth and misinformation. Through diligence and painstaking research, James Zeruk finally sets the record straight, unveiling the remarkable story of a talented, intelligent actress whose life was all too brief. This long-overdue biography is scholarship of the highest order."--Ted Okuda, author and film historian., "very impressive...a compelling story that is a must for anyone interested in cinema's rich history"- Examiner.com ; "For the first time, author James Zeruk reveals the rich, true life story of talented stage actress Lillian Millicent "Peg" Entwistle and her connection to the Hollywoodland Sign."-Mary Mallory, author of Hollywoodland ; "Peg Entwistle has gone down in history for her tragic suicide, becoming a figure rather than a genuine person in the minds of those who are aware of her.

It details her childhood, stage and film career, marriage and divorce, and her suicide and almost cult-like pop culture status today. Extensively researched and written with the complete cooperation of the Entwistle family, this work includes excerpts from interviews with Peg Entwistle's brother Milton and her cousin Helen Reid, both of whom recalled much of Peg's years living in Hollywood, her career and private life, and her final weeks. It also features many of Peg Entwistle's own words from extant letters to her family and newly discovered interviews with theatrical reporters. Nearly 30 previously unpublished images from the author's collection, the Entwistle family, and a number of other sources complete an intimate look at a life that was defined by far more than its famously unhappy end.
