The real story of Peg Entwistle that Ryan Murphy got all wrong in Hollywood


Peg Entwistle

I was very disappointed in Ryan Murphy's work of fiction for Netflix "Hollywood" that dropped on Friday.
I am the Hollywood Historian that Marked Peg's Grave in 2010. I knew her brother for 8 years until his death in 2018. here are the facts that Murphy got wrong in Hollywood. 
Peg was not an alcoholic, also nobody knows if she was drinking the night she jumped. Peg was in an abusive marriage with actor Robert Keith, Keith was an alcoholic and according to her family she never abused alcohol. 
Peg was born in Port Talbot Wales not London. 
Peg was single at the time of her death, she did date Humphrey Bogart shortly before her death when they both acted in the play the Mad Hopes.
Peg didn't kill herself because her role was cut in Thirteen Women or because she felt she hadn't achieved stardom in Hollywood, her first love was the Broadway stage and she intended to go back to New York City and the stage. Peg only wanted to do a few movies to preserve her craft on film. She committed suicide for other personal reasons. 
Peg was a person that lived not a character and I wish the world would let her Rest In Peace. 

I would like to add that there are other deceased actors that were portrayed in this limited series that were very protective of their private lives all the way til the end of their lives that are rolling over in their graves at the way they are being portrayed in this series Shame on You Ryan Murphy!!!!!
