A knockout curvaceous display siren with a good, confident atmosphere, Peggy Knudsen had the blonde pulchritude as well as the presence to create it in Hollywood. In some way, stardom eluded her. The girl of the Duluth fire key, she had researched violin as a kid and later demonstrated some promise performing in school has. Her mother as a result moved the family members to Chicago, where Peggy got her start the CBS daytime radio theatre “THE GIRL in White colored”. Aged nineteen, she after that made her method to Broadway to debut in a little component in “My Sister Eileen”, mainly because alternative to Jo Ann Sayers. Films ultimately beckoned, and, in 1945, Peggy was authorized by Warner Brothers after becoming ‘noticed’ in the Stage Door Canteen.

A projected co-starring function within a 1962 sitcom, entitled “Howie”, hardly ever came to move, as CBS refused to obtain the pilot event. Nonetheless, on her behalf contribution to Television, Peggy was honored a Star in the ‘Walk of Popularity’ on Hollywood Boulevard in 1960, probably scant consolation for passing up on stardom. A incapacitating affliction with arthritis caused her premature pension from performing in 1965. She spent a lot of her unfortunately few staying years looked after by her good friend, the celebrity Jennifer Jones, who also reputedly payed for her medical expenditures. Peggy passed away in July 1980, aged 57.
