Peggy Webling
Peggy Webling (1 January 1871–27 June 1949) was a British playwright, novelist and poet. Her 1927 play version of Mary Shelley's ''Frankenstein'' is notable for naming the creature "Frankenstein" after its creator, and for being the inspiration of the classic 1931 film directed by James Whale.
