A Chubby-Cheeked Wonder
Baby Peggy-Jean Montgomery crawled onto our screens at the young age of two and a half! A precocious little toddler, she starred as baby Peggy in 1921 after Century Studio cast her in the short film Brownie’s Little Venus opposite Brownie the Wonder Dog.

The nation quickly fell in love with this chubby-cheeked little wonder, and by the age of five, Peggy-Jean had starred in over 150 projects, mostly melodramas and short comedies, courtesy of Universal, Century, and Principal Pictures. She soon became a multi-millionaire.
