Peg Entwistle's return to the Silver Screen
This is a unique and creative tale about a suicidal tragedy in 1932, surrounding the opening debut of a film in which Peg’s role had been almost entirely cut out.
A story about a suicide Peg may have believed would be a symbolic way to leave behind a legacy... an imagination of her last thoughts as she climbed up a mountain and jumped off the Hollywood Sign to her untimely death.
Peg’s story is full of irony indeed. It was believed that she was upset over the fact that she couldn’t get work as an actor, but, in fact, she had already achieved such a great deal of success on Broadway, and even though she may have suffered a setback in her film career, she was still way ahead of what most actors could hope to achieve.
Set amidst the height of the great depression, Hollywood Girl takes place during the golden era of radio, and music will play an important role, as we intend to evoke strong emotional empathy for Peg Entwistle, a woman most only thought they knew.
