Diana Serra Cary
Diana Serra Cary (born October 29, 1918), known as Baby Peggy, is a former American child actress, author and historian. She is considered to be the last living film star of the silent era.
Diana Serra Cary was one of the three major American child stars of the Hollywood silent movie era along with Jackie Coogan and Baby Marie. Between 1921 and 1923 she made over 150 shorts for Century Studios. In 1922 she received over 1.2 million fan letters and by 1924, she had been dubbed "The Million Dollar Baby" for her $1.5 million a year salary. Despite her childhood fame and wealth, she found herself poor and working as an extra by the 1930s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Star that is Baby Peggy )〕 Having an interest in both writing and history since her youth, Cary found a second career as an author and silent film historian in her later years under the name Diana Serra Cary. She is the author of several books and has become an advocate for child actors' rights.
==Early life==
Cary was born on October 29, 1918, in San Diego, California, as Peggy-Jean Montgomery,〔"Baby Peggy", ''The Blue Book of the Screen'', 1923, Hollywood, California. (p.205 )〕 the second daughter of Marian (''née'' Baxter) and Jack Montgomery. While some sources incorrectly give her birth name as Margaret, Cary herself, in her autobiography, notes that she was indeed born as Peggy-Jean. She further explains that although the Roman Catholic nuns at her birth hospital recommended the name Margaret, her parents rejected the suggestion. Her older sister, called Louise or, occasionally, Jackie, was legally named Jack-Louise.
