Talk:Peggy Shannon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On her grave at Find-A-Grave it says 1910. Lincher 04:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What's wrong with the math on this ??
There's something askew with these dates...
Peggy Shannon was a film and stage actress in the 1920s and 1930s. She was born Winona Sammon in Pine Bluff, Arkansas on January 10, 1910.
In 1923, at approximately age 17, Peggy becomes the latest edition to the Ziegfeld Follies.
[edit] Another math problem
She would sometimes work 16 hour days (from 10AM to 4AM the next day) while shooting the film, and when shooting wrapped would rush to begin another film.
Sounds more like an 18 hour day to me.
[edit] Birthdate
There has been some dispute over what year she was born, exactly. It is very likely that she lied about the year of her birth when she joined the Ziegfeld Follies. A newspaper from 1923 reported that she was 17, though that is false.
