* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Peggy had a significant following in Europe, with one of her films, ''The Darling of New York'', being viewed as an inspiration to would-be immigrants seeking a new life in the States.
** Thankfully enough, it was also due to this that a number of her films survived the wholesale culling Century did to its library, as projectionists who had the foresight viewed film as a novel new art medium than merely a form of low-brow entertainment, preferring to keep the reels for themselves than hand them back to Century for disposal.



* NoPortForYou: Undercrank Productions' recent release of a restored version of ''Film/TheFamilySecret'' is only on DVD, and that's in spite of the Library of Congress bringing up the film's quality to par with Creator/CharlieChaplin re-issues.

* NoStuntDouble: Shockingly true especially for a toddler like her. Nowadays Child Protection Services could've put a stop to Peggy's career just for that.

* MissingEpisode: Most of her short films were lost to history, no thanks to a fire that razed Century Studios (and the fact that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrocellulose#Nitrate_film film stock of that time is very volatile]], not to mention that studios of the day didn't see films as worth preserving and would rather burn them on purpose to recycle their silver content). There are some efforts at tracking down and restoring some of them - copies of ''Carmen Jr.'' with foreign intertitles were found in overseas archives, for example.

** Also true with the documentary about her career entitled ''[[http://www.tcm.com/this-month/article.html?id=518225%7C518041 The Elephant in the Room]]''. By the time of its [[https://www.milestonefilms.com/products/baby-peggy-the-elephant-in-the-room release]] in 2012, surely an HD release isn't out of the question given the film's 16:9 aspect ratio.

* EnforcedMethodActing: In ''The Darling Of New York'', Peggy had to rely on her instincts and at the same time keep character when an interior set was torched during production. It didn't help that she couldn't pass through the door as planned, as the knob was "already too hot to touch" after crew members mistakenly set that part ablaze. The director was royally ticked off at Peggy disobeying orders, but given the circumstance, she only did what she could to save both the picture and her skin as well.
