An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Peggy Shannon was an actress from the 1930s to the 1940s. She was a beautiful redhead born in Arkansas in 1907. While still a teenager, she went to New York City and appeared in The Ziegfeld Follies and Earl Carroll stage shows. She went to Hollywood in 1930, and when Clara Bow had to quit movies due to her problems, Shannon was promoted as another Clara Bow, but she was very difficult to work with and developed a major drinking problem. Her contract was not renewed, and she went to Broadway to star in a play, but she was fired from that. She returned to Hollywood and only got relatively minor parts. In 1940, she divorced her actor husband, and married a cameraman. Less than a year later, she passed away in 1941 from a a heart attack brought on from her alcoholism. She was just 34. Just 19 days after her new husband found her dead at their home, he committed suicide. Certainly, a movie could be made of this very troubled actress' life, one more story of someone who went to Hollywood and found tragedy along with fame. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been mounted to a linen type material and has an extra 1" at the top of the still, along with four punch holes in that extra area (typical of many key book stills).
