Peggy Stewart

Biography

Peggy Stewart was an American actress who worked in films and television for 77 years, from 1937 to 2014, and became best known for Western B movies and series. Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, she was a swimming champion in high school before her family moved to California, where the character actor Henry O'Neill recommended her to Paramount Pictures. That led to her role as Joel McCrea's teenage daughter in Wells Fargo (1937), and to more film roles. Signed by Republic Pictures in 1944, she starred in Westerns opposite Allan Lane, Sunset Carson and Wild Bill Elliott, usually as a tough heroine rather than a passive one, appearing in about 35 films between 1944 and 1951. She also worked steadily in television and won a Golden Boot Award in 1984. Her later credits included a 2009 episode of The Office and Grandma Delores in That's My Boy (2012).
