This Day in History: Actress Peg Entwistle was born on this day in 1908. However, she is not known for any roles she played, as she gained notoriety after she jumped to her death from atop the "H" on the Hollywood sign on September 1932, at the age of 24. She came to Hollywood from Wales to strike it big as an actress only to be disappointed. In desperation she committed suicide, and it was in
death that she finally became famous as her fall became widely publicized. To this day people say the Hollywood Sign is haunted by her ghost.
Oh, and you can eat at the Pig'n Whistle in Hollywood, a restaurant dedicated to her name.
