Cathouse Isabella Soprano



The Hollywood sign girl :" The September 18, 1932, a hiker walking along the slopes of the Hollywood Hills, he found a gruesome scene: the inert and lifeless body of a beautiful young blonde. For the position of the body and where they had fallen, for the researchers was easy to deduce that the young woman had jumped from the top of the letter H of the Hollywood sign. The death must have been instantaneous, as each letter is 15 m in height.
This beautiful blonde named Peg Entwistle
and was born in Wales, but very young he moved with his parents for the American dream. They settled in New York, and as he got older, he hoped to become an actress. Dreamed of making it to stardom, to conquer Hollywood and the world.

Peg Entwistle

To achieve its objective, very young began to study acting and soon realized that this was his true vocation. It was one of the best students, and he even became part of several Broadway productions, giving him the opportunity to move to Los Angeles and make a secondary role in a drama with Humphrey Bogart
. In this great city Peg knew that triumph, at the last, for it had studied all his youth. He decided to stay and live in Los Angeles, taking advantage of his uncle lived in one of the new developments in the Hollywood Hills.

Everything seemed to be easier and the chances are you were having. Was called to audition, in which he gave his best, and after his great performance was offered a contract to work in a movie, and although the role was small, Peg felt that she had taken their first step into celluloid .


The film was called "Thirteen woman " , but unfortunately the criticism of the film and characters were poor and disappointing. To make matters worse, his small appearances were edited, so it almost went unnoticed in the whole movie.

subsequent months attended several auditions, but unfortunately could not get any paper. It seemed ironic and strange that being so beautiful, having studied theater and Broadway experience, could not get any role, however small. Each morning was an ordeal, since waking saw from his window that big Hollywood sign, which
reminded him that his dreams were so close, and at the same time were so unattainable . That sign made him feel powerless in the face he rubbed his failure, and finally completely depress.

the afternoon of Friday, September 16, Peg took his coat, but before leaving he told his uncle would walk to a nearby pharmacy, and then go to visit some friends. Not so, she had taken a drastic decision.

walked to the southern slope of Mount Lee
was in front the house of his uncle, and followed a few hundred meters to the base of the Hollywood sign, where he placed his coat, his shoes and bag. Then he climbed to the top of the letter H for the maintenance ladder and jumped ... Police found in her purse a note saying:
"I have fear, I am a coward. Sorry. If I had done this long ago, I would have saved much pain. PE " His body was found two days later by a hiker.

Fate is sometimes capricious, and even seems to like to play us in bad taste jokes, and ironically, his uncle received a few days a letter in which he offered the young actress, the role of a female suicide bomber.

Although not famous while she was alive, after his death became a star Peg Entwistle who both wanted, and created the myth around him "
The Hollywood sign girl " included with urban legend, which is rumored that his ghost roamed the hill. This myth created by visionary and opportunistic traders, has led to visitors and tourists from around the world the place where his story is now one of the main attractions of the area, and call it the Tragical History Tour .
