“Hollywood Girl:
The Peg Entwistle Story” tells the story of 24-year-old Peg Entwistle, an
aspiring film actress and Broadway muse, Entwistle is mostly known for her
infamous and fatal jump off the Hollywood(land) sign in 1932.
Written and directed by
James Pomichter, the film is a creative imagination of Entwistle’s last day,
leading up to the moment of her untimely death.
Hollywood legend paints
Entwistle as the ghost who haunts the Hollywood sign, but Pomichter hopes the
film will move audiences to remember Peg as much more.
“I wanted to show her as
a vulnerable, passionate young woman, one who fell victim to despair as so many
others did in that time. And had she just held on for a little while longer,
things would have turned around for the better,” he said.
Liguori, who stars in the
film as Entwistle, conceived the idea for the film while sitting on her balcony
looking up at the Hollywood sign. Liguori had just received news that she lost
a role she anticipated getting and felt inspired to share Peg’s story.

veteran actor, Michael Rotthaar as Charles Entwistle, James Pomichter as Robert
Entwistle and cameos from Maureen Teefy (Grease 2, Fame, Supergirl), Will
Rotthaar (Battle Los Angeles, Killing Kennedy), and Dan Riordan (Dream Girls,
Ed Wood).

Entwistle Story” was awarded Best Dramatic Short Film at the Oscar qualifying
