  • THE WOMAN IN THE NUDE PICTURE IS NOT PEG.

  • @MsBatista85  Hey, do you happen to know who it is?

  • My God what a video. She was so young and beautiful. How did she managed to climb to the top of the H, anyway?

  • @olarcial Thanks for the comment. She apparently climbed the back of the letter H, 50 feet, using the maintenance ladder on the back.

    I've been corrected a few times that she most likely did not die instantly either!

  • @RuffHouseStudios Thanks. You say that especifically int the video, what I was wondering was how did she managed to make the move from the top of the ladder to the edge of the H and jump, that I presume from a standing position in order to make her body flew across the base of the sign . There's not much room there and nowhere to hold unless she wasn't standing. I'm still searching and gathering all the information I can, I even tried Google Earth to see the path of her entire walk.

  • @olarcial Oh, I see. I don't know how she managed that, she looked to be in good physical condition and such a drastic measure requires dedication so I suppose she just did it however she could. Interesting but sad suicide case for sure, good luck.

  • KILLING NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING

  • Hollywood--city of ironies. And poor Peg--even 'Sunset Blvd' couldn't top this script of her tragic life. If she had just hung on a little bit longer. I hope she is happier now in her next lifetime.

  • she was beautiful.c:

  • A sad but amazing story.

    Thank you for sharing this with us.

  • It always shocks me to see a wasted life.

  • @rgman66 different day yes but same shit more suffering.good attitude but when you are really in that much despair cliches have no real value.

  • @RuffHouseStudios now of course its got like security and stuff so no1 can go up there. I went to the Museum of Death in Hollywood(great place) and the owner said he was lucky enough to get a picture up there when he was a kid

  • @RuffHouseStudios when i was in CA and took the dearly departed tour, the tourguide said it was either the "H" or some other letter i cant rememberl.

  • That was my ansester
