Peggy Moran


Peggy Moran, born Mary Jeanette Moran (October 23, 1918 – October 24, 2002)

Moran was a film actress who appeared in films between 1938 and 1943. Born in Iowa, she and her mother moved west after Moran's 1937 high school graduation. Moran's film career began at Warner Bros. in the late 1930's. She starred in a number of B movies, including The Mummy's Hand (1940), Slightly Tempted (1940), Horror Island (1941), Treat 'Em Rough (1942), and King of the Cowboys (1943), and played smaller parts in A pictures, such as the "first cigarette girl" in Ninotchka (1939). After marrying director Henry Koster on October 30, 1942, a bust of Moran was featured in every picture her husband directed. After her marriage, Moran retired from acting and appeared in only one other film; a documentary made in 2000. Koster and Moran had two sons. After Koster retired in 1966, the couple traveled extensively until his death in 1988. On October 24, 2002, only one day after her 84th birthday, Moran died of complications from injuries she had suffered in a car accident on August 26, 2002. She was cremated and her ashes were scattered at sea.
