Millicent Lilian “Babs” Entwistle was destined for fame. But the media and Hollywood had a more sinister plan for her to become famous. “The woman who goes hunting for fame sometimes has to play a dangerous game. The pathway that leads to achievement, for woman, is beset with many pitfalls. If a woman can follow it to the end she may win everything that her heart desires—provided that she has luck; if misfortune comes to her anywhere along the way she is apt to find that her happiness has vanished.” Indeed, the Cincinnati Enquirer (6 Nov. 1932) may have been right about women trying to make it in a man’s world here, but the writer mostly reported inaccuracies and embellished the drama when covering the death of the woman who became known as Peg Entwistle.
