Interesting 'old Hollywood' story


I love the old Hollywood history and thought this interesting: Peg Entwhistle, a young actress who jumped from the Hollywood sign, supposedly as her film career not going anywhere. But her depression aided by love gone wrong. She had married Robert Keith (Father of Marylee and Kyle) and found out accidentally that was a bigamous marriage. She had gone to visit her new mother-in-law (whom she'd never met) and saw pictures on mantel of her "husband" with his child, who grew up to become actor Brian Keith (who committed suicide several years ago). Her fragile state of mind became shattered at that point and she killed herself. So much stuff happened back in those days, the goings-on of today nothing compared to the good ol' days of Tinsletown.
