Baby Peggy’s Greedy Parents Spent All of Her Fortune

Her Home Was a Beverly Hills Villa

Home for baby Peggy was a mansion in Beverly Hills, right next door to Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. To get to work, the child starlet was picked up by a $30,000 limousine driven by a well-dressed chauffeur, who would comfortably take her to her movie sets.

As if that wasn’t crazy enough for a kid, Peggy-Jean would also receive piles of fan mail. The amount was ridiculous! Nearly two million letters a year. Magazines begged to have her face on their covers. She spent months on the road on national tours, and she even endorsed her very own “Baby Peggy” dolls.
