Today, two new articles about Baby Peggy appeared. It's a Baby Peggy perfect storm

I posted a profile on the diminutive actress on the Huffington Post. Its in the HuffPo book section and is titled "The Bookseller Who Became an Author and Who Once Had Been the Biggest Little Film Star in the World." The article can be found at

And in today's Los Angles Times, film critic Kenneth Turan wrote up one of her two upcoming events. His piece, "Kenneth Turan's film pick of the week: The return of Baby Peggy" can be found at

"Baby Peggy" will give a short talk and introduce her 1924 film, Captain January, at the Cinefamily's Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles on July 7th. She will also be signing her books at the Castro Theater in San Francisco on July 16th as part of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival.

Kenneth Turan's film pick of the week: The return of Baby Peggy
July 1, 2010 | 8:00 am
Few people now living remember the glory days of silent movies, but Diana Serra Cary goes them one better: She was a part of the glory.

As child star Baby Peggy, the now 91-year-old actress made numerous silent features. Also the author of several excellent books, including "The Hollywood Posse" and "Whatever Happened to Baby Peggy," Cary will be present at the Silent Movie Theater/Cinefamily, at 611 N. Fairfax Ave., on July 7 to introduce one of the six surviving feature-length films she starred in.

More than survive, 1924's "Captain January," the story of what happens to a child rescued from a shipwreck, was recently restored to 35mm glory by the Library of Congress.

Be one of the few to experience a piece of film history both on and off the screen. Co-sponsored by the online publication the Silent Treatment. For more information, call (323) 655-2520.
