In Hedvig's suicide scene, there was a young girl in the audience with her mother, Ruthie. When this girl, who was the same age as Peg, saw Peg's remarkable performance, she determined to pursue acting with all her heart. She told her mother as they left the theater, "I want to be exactly like Peg Entwistle!" This young girl would for many years mention in interviews and her biography that this play and Peg Entwistle as the driving force to her becoming an actress.
