Adopted daughter of Harold Lloyd and his wife.

Her birth name was Gloria Freeman. She was the daughter of Gloria Gabrielle Freeman of Pennsylvania (Mother later changed name to Dorothy Callison.)Father was unknown and reported to be from Nebraska.(They never married.) Baby Gloria was put up for adoption and was adopted by Harold and Mildred Lloyd when she was five and her name was changed to Marjorie Elizabeth but went by Peggy from the very beginning.

She attended Westlake school for girls then later both USC and UCLA and majored in Art.

Her life with the Lloyd's was guarded and high society but she was never spoiled. After the kidnapping of Lucky Lindy's son, Harold got bodyguards for the children. One even taught Peggy how to roller skate.

Peggy was on the cover of Life magazine twice - first time was April 20th 1942 and then again on the cover of the May 23rd 1943 edition - earning her a title of "Cover Girl." She did her first film appearance in a short called "Hedda Hopper's Hollywood No.4" in 1942.

She also appeared in the 1944 Gene Kelly Rita Hayworth Film "Cover Girl" as the Mademoiselle Cover Girl.

Peggy Married twice. First was to Almon Bartlette "Bart" Ross (B: July 15 1923 Died in 1970). They married on April 17 1948 after Peggy's 23 birthday. They had a son. The two divorced three years later.

Peggy became a major part of the Hollywood social elite and dated frequently. She then met Actor Robert "Bob" Patten (B. Oct 11th 1925 D. Dec. 29th 2001). He was in films such as 12 o'clock High and the Airport series. The union lasted 8 months. They filed for divorce and during the proceedings Peggy discovered she was again pregnant.

Bob tried to reconcile but Peggy refused and the divorce was finalized in Dec 1956. Peggy gave birth to a second son.

Peggy never remarried and moved to Newport in Orange County California. She gave an interview for the L.A. Times in 1972 during a series of articles on adoption and how she was searching for her birth mother. It paid off - Peggy was able to find her mother the same year and reunited.
