Peggy Wood mini-bio: Margaret Wood, known as Peggy Wood (February 9, 1892 - March 18, 1978) was an American actress of stage, film and television. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Wood spent nearly fifty years on the stage, beginning in the chorus and becoming known as a Broadway singer and star. She made her stage debut in 1910 in the chorus of Naughty Marietta. In 1917, in Maytime, she introduced the song ‘Will You Remember’. She starred in several other musicals before playing Portia in a 1928 production of The Merchant of Venice. In the late 1920s and 1930s, she played lead roles in musicals staged in London and New York. In 1941, in the New York premiere of Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit, she portrayed Ruth Condomine - whose husband’s deceased first wife returns as an irritating ghost. Coward had originally written the part for Wood in the London based production in 1929.

Because of her stage career, Peggy did not make many films. She co-starred opposite Will Rogers in Handy Andy and was seen in the film Jalna. She also had a cameo in the 1937 film A Star is Born playing a receptionist at a movie studio who advises Janet Gaynor to go back home.
