Young Hollywood starlet Peg Entwistle gained notoriety in 1932 when she committed suicide by jumping off of the “H” of the Hollywood[land] sign. She was 24. Her only credited film role was in RKO’s Thirteen Women (1932), a pre-Hays Code, high-budget thriller produced by David O. Selznick.
The suicide note as published read:

“I am afraid, I am a coward. I am sorry for everything. If I had done this a long time ago, it would have saved a lot of pain. P.E.”

About "Here's looking at you, kid". Charlotte/ Charl/ occasionally Charlie/ never Lottie!/ and only my mother is allowed to call me CharChar. 22yrs young. Sheffield. England. I'm a film/ TV nerd (I think the term is "cinephile" but that sounds a bit creepy so I'm sticking to film geek!) & am in my final year of university studying English Literature & Screen Studies... I'd like to believe I'm some sort of film critic but, then again, everyone's a critic, right? "You don't understand! I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am." I have a film quote for every occasion... & I have Twitter! twitter.com/himynameisCharl Check out my High Fidelity-style film blog: http://himynameischarl.blogspot.co.uk/ hit counter Navigation Home Ask Me Archive Random Tumblr Themes Following Theme Details: DollieCrave.com	Photo Post Tue, Jul. 10, 2012 13 notes Young Hollywood starlet Peg Entwistle gained notoriety in 1932 when she committed suicide by jumping off of the “H” of the Hollywood[land] sign.
