built 605 days ago
On June 13, 1932, Entwistle signed a contract for a one-picture deal with RKO Studios. Producer David O. Selznick signed below her name and is titled as "Vice President."[21] Entwistle was to report "on or about" July 2, 1932 to begin shooting her part as Hazel Cousins in Thirteen Women.[21] Entwistle's RKO contract spells her character role as "Hazel Cozins."[21]

Peg was elated when she secured a deal from RKO Studios, that got her a part in Thirteen Women (1932). Sad to say, initial critical reaction (in previews) to the pic was negative, and RKO decided to re-cut it, leaving most of Peg's screen time on the cutting room floor. Worse, the studio declined to pick up her option.

Entwistle's RKO contract was not optioned. What happened to her and what she did after she completed filming of her part in Thirteen Women remains, for the most part, a mystery. It is known that she posed topless for the photographer then known as Bruno of Hollywood, [23] and that this session may have been due to financial hardship, but what led exactly to her pathos may never actually be known.
