Reel Cowgirls of the Santa Susanas -- Peggy Stewart


Peggy Stewart (1923- ) is an American actress who is best known for her roles in B-Westerns.  She married Republic studios actor Don 'Red' Barry in 1940, and was later signed by Republic Pictures make westerns and serials.  After making about 30 Westerns and serials for Republic she asked to be released, so she could make films other than Westerns.

Unfortunately for Peggy she had made so many Westerns at Republic she found it almost impossible to find work in any other genre.  She made a few films for Monogram, Allied Artists, PRC and other small studios in the late 1940s, and was eventually signed by Columbia to do serials. 

She did do some television work -- mostly westerns -- in the 1950s and 1960s, and is still working occasionally in both film and television.
