She (born in 1918) was "discovered" while visiting the Century Studios lot on Sunset Boulevard with her mother when she was a mere 19 months old and went on to appear in nearly 150 shorts (between 1920 and 1923) and nine feature films during her silent heyday.Often considered a precursor to Shirley Temple,many of Baby Peggy's popular comedies were parodies of movies that grown-up stars had made,and she delightfully imitated such legends as Rudolph Valentino,Pola Negri,Mary Pickford and Mae Murray.Peggy's working conditions were harsh. As a toddler she worked eight hours a day, six days a week. However, by the age of 8 she was finished. Her fortune reportedly was depleted by her parents and within a short time she was forced to turn to the vaudeville circuit for survival. A comeback in early talkies with the new moniker Peggy Montgomery was very short-lived.
