An afternoon with silent film star "Baby Peggy" August 7, 2011

In the 1920s, Diana Serra Cary was known as "Baby Peggy." Signed to a million dollar contract at age five, this child actress was once one of the biggest little film stars in the world. Today, she is widely considered the last surviving silent film star.

At this special event, Cary will speak about her remarkable life in Hollywood more than 85 years ago, her recent work as a writer and film historian, and her lifelong love of books and reading. Diana Serra Cary will be in conversation with arts journalist Thomas Gladysz. A short Baby Peggy film will be shown. A book signing with Diana Serra Cary will follow.
