Peg Entwistle

Adding to the wonderful Burton on the side of the Bell Inn, Hazard One has outdone herself with her depiction of Peg Entwhistle.

Affectionately known as 'Peg' she was the first Hollywood trailblazer from Port Talbot, forging a path to the movie sets of Los Angeles, that Burton, Hopkins and Sheen would later follow.

She grew up just around the corner of this mural in Broad Street, before becoming heralded as the new young siren of the silver screen. Sadly for Peg, it appears that the pressures of the showbiz industry were too much ... her body eventually being discovered at the foot of the giant 'H' towering over the Hollywood studios.

Her tragic legacy is the recent Netflix series 'Hollywood' and featuring in ghost tours around the foothills of L.A. But her creative courage and electric charisma live on in the streets of her home town.

This mural has been made possible thanks to support from Tata Steel.
