I absolutely love that you didn’t make this video about “the haunting of Peg Entwistle” like most usually do. Her story is far more than some Hollywood ghost story. The way you presented it was very real and grounded - thank you!
Spot on! Her life is far more interesting than her death. She's buried a little ways from my home, so I feel a little bit of a connection with her. I really wish she stayed on this earth just a little bit longer.
Well said! I came on TH-cam to watch bad friends and accidentally clicked on this it was on my feed and i had never seen this channel before. He had me hooked right away. Im still watching this one but im planning on binging a few tn!
It's sad that she walked all that way and never changed her mind. I couldn't imagine having all that time to reconsider and still following through with it. Great video as always, guys!
To walk in the middle of the night all the way up to the Hollywood sign back in 1932 (where I'm guessing the trail would've been nothing more than a tiny walking track) it's a scary enough story as it is, so what she must been thinking, the despair she must of felt as she made her way to the sign. Its such a sad story.
You can cross this off the bucket list! To be able to actually touch the Hollywood sign! Thank you for tracing Peg’s steps in a way and telling her story. Absolutely heartbreaking that she got the part after her death. I know what it’s like to be in that mental place, cannot even imagine what it was like for her. Rest in Peace Peg, always and forever, never forgotten . Thank you both for this amazing and beautiful and kind of eerie adventure! Love you guys 🦇👻💚
I’m a 61 year old native Angeleno. I live on Detroit right by LaBrea & Fountain. Like you, I always marvel everytime I see the Hollywood Sign. I love this city and its history both the good and bad. The Peg Entwistle story is one of those stories which fascinated me since I first heard it as a kid. Back in 1965 we lived on Beachwood just off Melrose across from the Paramount Studios, Desilu & the Nickodell Restaurant where we’d see Lucille Ball having lunch. The Nickodell was right on the corner where the old RKO Studio Tower Ball was located. Ever since I was a kid I’ve been interested in all things Hollywood because as a native it’s our modern history. I love when you guys do a video in the Los Angeles area (and especially Hollywood). I’d love to get a coffee and talk with you folks about the history of Hollywood. There’s so much more to Hollywood than the movie industry… The musical history… the Mickey Cohen era. Keep up the fantastic work. Happy Halloween to you Michael & Jessica (and Happy New Year). ✌🏽❤️🎥
Holy shit! You got to go down to the actual sign. That is amazing. Great work, great research and delivery. Hollywood is near and dear to me. I have the Bukowski Hollywood cover tattooed on my arm, plus my first two babies were born there. Also, as a person that lost two friends in Los Angeles to Suicide it's a good thing to bring awareness and empathy to such a permanent choice.
I'm not a historian on the Hollywood sign itself, but I lived and grew up here in S. Ca., specifically City of Norwalk in L.A. County. I remember seeing the Hollywood sign looking really worn down and awful in about 1978. Okay, had to look this part up on the sign. By 1939, no money was available to maintain it and in 1944, the Hollywoodland development ended and it fell into disrepair. The "H" even fell over and stayed that way for 5 years until 1949 when the City repaired the sign and "land" was removed from it completely. Thank you, Michael, for the nicely done video on Peg and the legacy surrounding her short career there. Always looks good on the 4K 32" monitor for the computer. Happy New Year 2025 to both of you!
I'd heard about this story a LONG time ago and it made me incredibly sad. Thank you guys for walking "in Peg's shoes" and telling Peg's story. She matters. And glad you got the access to the sign! Great work, as usual! Happy New Year!
Watching your 4K content on a 4K laptop screen or 4K OLED Sony is a real treat. I very much appreciate your production values. They enhance the narrative.
When you walked out on Beachwood Dr. after leaving her home, I noticed multiple dingbat apartment houses, for which LA is famous. I know you're not an architecture channel, but Los Angeles also has tons of Googie architecture. Don't forget bungalow court homes. I love LA style and how it's endured.
@@grimmlifecollective Dude, I hope you got my e-mail regarding my message about the "Mary Jane Kelly Facial Reconstruction" video that I told you about. Probably one of the saddest things i've seen in my life, but at least we would get an idea of what she used to look like before Jack-the-Ripper hacked her to pieces the way he did!!!
PEG RIP 😢 What you guys put on here is SOLID GOLD!!!!!!!!! You guys are THE BEST on U Tube. Your dedication is beautifully outrageous! APPRECIATE YOU BOTH, IMMENSELY! IM ALSO SO HAPPY FOR THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR ONE ANOTHER❤ Wishing you only THE BEST! LOVE FROM PUERTO RICO 🎉
this is automatically done by newer Vloggers, and they always tell the same story, but not this channel...in depth reportive in detail and getting coverage like no other spooky channel can, award #2 PLEASE!
The juxtaposed setting of the the old RKO studios bumping right up against the Hollywood Forever Cemetary is so symbolic of the death of the old-school, heyday of Hollywood. The Hollywood and stars of today is vastly different than what we have today (I'm not criticizing - just saying it is a very different feeling for Hollywood today). The number of people that struggle with depression and find suicide as their solution is extremely sad. I truly wish that Peg had sought and found an alternative way of dealing with her struggles. It is great that you got access to Peg's old residence and, of course, the Hollywood sign. That's just crazy and exemplifies what you do best - this kind of story telling isn't easy as you have to research and compress so much information into a digestable walking history narrative. Thank you for taking the time to give us another one of these walking history stories! I vaguely remember hearing about Peg's story, but I never knew any of the details. I saw a bunch of speakers, cameras, and motion sensors on the sign - I assume that is to warn off unauthorized visitors. PS - We miss Jessica - Great to see her back in action!
Seeing how far she walked and just having a very small idea of what she may have been thinking and feeling makes her story sadder. I love how you guys didn't go more into the haunting. Every time I hear Peg Entwistle story, I hope she was able to find some peace at the end.
Beautiful video. What a kind woman to let you visit her house and film it to show where Peg lived. Very kind. Peg's suicide note just crushes your heart, she was not a coward, not even a tiny bit. Mental pain is the worst pain there is and back then there was not much help. She must have suffered a lot. This was a great video, also love the information about the Hollywood sign, just looked up an old photo and it was fun to see it was indeed called Hollywoodland. Amazing video, just like always =3.
Michael, your video skills are just AWESOME! Great, great camerawork!! Also, your brilliant commentary was thoughtful and respectful while still maintaining the excitement of your 'grim' adventure. I took my own hike up to the sign in the 1970's -- I had a girlfriend who lived on Beachwood Dr. -- and I'm familiar with those ethereal vibes and feelings of Hollywood nostalgia that the sign will evoke. When I was up there, before the renovation, it was spooky and dangerous. The original letters were rusting and falling apart, many of the dilapidated corrugated metal panels were loose and just hanging off their attachments to the huge, rotting, telephone-pole frames. Corroded steel cables, as your video shows, snaked everywhere around the base. There was very little security then. Thank you for taking me back up to the HOLLYWOOD sign again!
I dare say this is probably your best video! This has everything . History, beautiful scenery. A sensitive evaluation of troubled persons mind. Very well done!!!
Wonderful work! Very touching... Your channel is really slowly but surely becoming as important as a good history book. Incidentally, I had no idea Peg Entwistle could see the sign so close to her home. To her it must have almost seemed as if it was calling her, for the better or the worse. A very sad story... May she Rest in Peace
You told her story perfectly. It's such a shame... Your talent has opened so many doors for you and EVEN the gate to the Hollywood sign! 😮 Well done as always!
Wow I'm truly so happy you were granted access to the sign, this story is always so sad to hear. The fact she got the notice about getting the part the FOLLOWING day is just so heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Great video, you were very privileged to walk up to the sign. And you were very respectful about poor Peg. I didn't know the story about her, so informative, thank you
It's so awesome that you finally got to touch the Hollywood sign I saw you shaking from the excitement!! Just to think that Peggy walked over an hour long before she jumped to her death is just so sad!! I fight depression all the time and that is so sad that she walks so far and just felt like nothing everyone just hold your heads up high you're amazing keep moving forward this life is filled with wonderful things you just have to keep moving on thank you both for all of your videos all the time I've been watching for many years thank you for all the great memories keep up the great work I will be watching for many more years
im glad you decided to do her story not many have and i knew you would do her justice like you always do with these videos thanks for telling her story and not just the ghost side of her
Peg's story is so haunting and tragic, I always think about her. Thanks for showing this with such care and respect as always. Must've been an incredible experience getting up close to the sign too.
I've seen almost all of your videos in this channel and I'm pretty sure this is the most poetic narrative used to honor someone's memory. Peg would be honored to see how beautifully directed this video was. 💚🖤🎉 Hope you have a spooktacular new year full of many many adventures.
This was freaking amazing! I've always enjoyed your content but lately, it's been so good. I mean, the stories have been so compelling and the content so riveting and on the edge of your seat! I can't miss one video you put out, not that I ever did 😂 The stories have been so great that even my 68 year old mother is asking if and when you will have another video uploaded. She's new to your channel and she really got into it after your Halloween Disney cruise. I called her to tell her about today's video about Peg and she was very excited to get to watch it. My husband and I would love to meet you guys one day. We really enjoy your content. Please keep up the great work! Much love from, Oklahoma!
One thing I’ve always wanted to see in your videos is you interacting with the homeowners or people more. That’s if they are okay with being on camera. And getting their perspective on what you are filming. Thanks again and happy new year!🎆
This was really a fantastic video. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You are the master of lining up photos with shots. Thank you so much for sharing this very interesting story. I have heard it before, but not told as well as you told it. My heart breaks for her and how sad she was.❤
Thank you for this respectful tribute to Peg! And thank you also for all the great content this year! I wish that you stay healthy and positive, and hopefully you'll reach the one million subs in '25!
Thank you for bringing us along on this adventure! You guys are always great with the details of Hollywood history and reminding us the beauty of of LA and California. It is so cool to see your excitement through your videos!
I think it speaks to the kind of person that you are, that people give you permission to go to some of these places. Thank you for telling her story so respectfully
Another fantastic video. I remember finding Peg‘s house as well. We got up to the Hollywood sign by that fence. But we did not attempt to scale down to the actual letters. So good on you. I can’t imagine how Peg hiked up that long way in a dress and barefoot!! Thank you so much for this tour and for all the wonderful views off Griffith Park. I have not been back in over 10 years and Thanks to you and others. I follow on TH-cam. I get to travel back there from the comfort of my chair. Happy new year to you and Jessica. Looking forward to your next video.
What a sad story made more tragic by the fact she got that letter the next day. If only she had put it of another day. Its great you do these with such emphathy feeling and respect. Thanks michael and jess. jim uk
Such amazing views. And to get a chance to be up, close and personal to the Hollywood sign 😮 mind blowing. Such a sad story, but a wonderful tribute. ❤
That's fascinating! Poor Peg, I never realised she walked so far to do that. I first heard about her from comments on Lana del Rey's Lust for Life where she jumps off the sign but Lana said she'd never heard about Peg Entwistle before.
These story's are so compelling. Great job. Very symbolic what she did made a statement. Walking history very cool and chilling. She had a long walk to think what she is doing or about to do chilling. Nice job as always very through and respectful.
this is why I like watching your videos because unlike other spooky channels on TH-cam who treat suicide stories like a gimmick your classy,tasteful and non judgemental which is so refreshing to see. also love the storytelling and how respectful you are when visiting sites. keep up the great work
Omg! That was an amazing! Video. And an honor to have access to the Hollywood sign. Such a sad story of that lady to have jumped from a now I conic sign. Thank you for this video .🎃🖤👻
Awesome job taking us along your journey! The long walk to Peg’s end really gives perspective. She must have planned and thought about this for some time before she absolutely decided her fate. Thank you again!
Michael, this video blew me away! I admire and have so much respect for you and Jessica and the way you show us history and honor those from it. Thanks so much, and Happy New Year to you both! ❤
Such a respectful and heartfelt telling of a tragedy. Michael, you have such a way of being so respectful. Awesome to see babyghoul again. Love you both. The pictures that you showed of Peg, such a beautiful lady. Hollywood can be harsh sometimes. It's funny, I have lived in California all my life, and never took the time to really study the history it holds. Love to you and babyghoul. God bless your journeys.
Not only do I enjoy your adventures and stories you share with us, I also think it's beautiful that you and Jessica share the same interests and get to enjoy and share these trips together. Thanks for including us as well.
Thank you SO much for telling the story of Peg Entwistle! So many stories about the "crazy lady" who jumped off the sign which aren't true, but still believed. She wasn't a "crazy lady", she was a poor lost soul who simply reached the end of her rope and the knot came untied. Back in the day (mid-60's) I used to hike & camp in those hills and even with the city so close, it was cold, VERY dark, and lonely up there. I can't begin to imagine what was going through her mind in that country knowing she was going up there to die. The "Hollywood" sign will always be her marker and remind us what life can give... and take away. Rest in Peace, Peg... you deserve a break.
Thought you covered this story before, maybe somebody else did....too much true crime...lol (Later, after watching) ..... I take it back, very well done. A very up close, and very personal look at one of the oldest and saddest true Hollywoodland stories. You have shown us the most detailed, and emotional display of the path that led to Pegs end, leaving her house, passing through the Hollywoodland Archways, walking up the slope, climbing the sign, and you literally touched them all as she did!, I got nervous chills as you touched the sign. Haunting, sad, historical.
I really did find this insightful look into the circumstances surrounding the tragic demise of P.E a fitting tribute.... respectfully done, ..very sad event!
Awesome as usual! There is the ‘Peg Entwistle’, the symbol for Hollywood lost dreams, and Ms. Entwistle the real person who tried to live life the best she could. The way you two tell the real stories, of real people, shows how much respect you have for people.
Absolutely awesome! I'm fascinated with the Hollywood sign. This video gave me a great idea for a follow up video. You mentioned the old sign wouldn't it be cool to track that down and see if it still exists? Who knows could be in a old warehouse. Great video!
Another amazing video. You are one of the best channels on TH-cam. You do great research…. your presentation is always excellent, clear and concise. Great video work. I loved when you giggled at being able to touch the sign. RIP PE. ❤
Beautiful yet tragic xx🖤xx Strange sense of sorrow mixed with nostalgia, romance and beauty, thanks for an amazing video as always, until next time!! Happy New Year Grimms!! xx💚🖤xx
What a tragic story. I wish I was a film maker. I have this short film in my mind of her final moments and thoughts. Thanks for taking us with you up there.
I've actually got a big blown up picture of the Misfits with downtown L.A in the background hanging on my home studio wall, I've been there several times, but not all the way up to the sign.. never knew peg lived right there on beachwood though.That's pretty cool to know.
I live in the mountains of Virginia so I appreciate the views you are showing us! We are accustomed to trails like the ones you are on. I am older now and not so flexible but as a child would have run the trail down to the "H". Great job!
I've heard this sad tale about Peg many times, BUT, no one has ever been this through, and so close to the Hollywood sign. You gave me goosebumps! Thank you Michael, you are awesome ❤
A Great video, very moving one at that, made me tear up by the end. Reminded me, of me coming a hairs breadth away from taking my own life back in 2006. I reached out to try to talk to friends here in the UK, with no reply. I phoned my sister who lives in New Zealand, she phoned me back. I was seriously in debt of rent arrears on my apartment, had an eviction notice served to me, looked at over twenty years worth of stuff, plus not having the money to pay the arrears off in one lump sum & thought, that’s it. Thankfully, my sister spoke to me & stopped it, yes, I came out the other side,but, Peg never did. I am glad to still be here, keep up the Great work Michael & Jessica, thank you for allowing me to be a member with you & everyone else…. Happy Halloween 🎃👻💀☠️😊
Another great video! I didn't know you could see the Hollywood sign from where she lived. So sad. Happy New Year you guys!!🙏🥂🎉 Thanks for all your hard work all the time.

That’s why I love these people. You can have some different niches and still be respectful about what you are talking about.
Hate ghost stories
Honestly Michael you're a natural storyteller, the way you tell the story is brilliant and always different to suit the tone of the videos you do.
He is
Well said! I came on TH-cam to watch bad friends and accidentally clicked on this it was on my feed and i had never seen this channel before. He had me hooked right away. Im still watching this one but im planning on binging a few tn!
So happy you were granted such access to the sign. Thank you for keeping Peg Entwhistle's story alive. So sad and tragic.
It's sad that she walked all that way and never changed her mind. I couldn't imagine having all that time to reconsider and still following through with it. Great video as always, guys!
It's amazing the access you can get just by being polite and asking permission. Great video!
To walk in the middle of the night all the way up to the Hollywood sign back in 1932 (where I'm guessing the trail would've been nothing more than a tiny walking track) it's a scary enough story as it is, so what she must been thinking, the despair she must of felt as she made her way to the sign. Its such a sad story.
Yeah 😢
Exactly. She was determined
Super sad
I think she was driven up there and thrown off.
Suspicious just like the Inger Steven's death
Very sad, if she could've "held on" just a little longer...

Kyle if we ever got to touch that Hollywood sign, we'll be doomed to be rich and famous.😉

The juxtaposed setting of the the old RKO studios bumping right up against the Hollywood Forever Cemetary is so symbolic of the death of the old-school, heyday of Hollywood. The Hollywood and stars of today is vastly different than what we have today (I'm not criticizing - just saying it is a very different feeling for Hollywood today).
The number of people that struggle with depression and find suicide as their solution is extremely sad. I truly wish that Peg had sought and found an alternative way of dealing with her struggles.
It is great that you got access to Peg's old residence and, of course, the Hollywood sign. That's just crazy and exemplifies what you do best - this kind of story telling isn't easy as you have to research and compress so much information into a digestable walking history narrative. Thank you for taking the time to give us another one of these walking history stories! I vaguely remember hearing about Peg's story, but I never knew any of the details.

PS - We miss Jessica - Great to see her back in action!
Thank you for sharing Peg's story and giving her a voice.
Didn’t she have her own voice?
Seeing how far she walked and just having a very small idea of what she may have been thinking and feeling makes her story sadder. I love how you guys didn't go more into the haunting. Every time I hear Peg Entwistle story, I hope she was able to find some peace at the end.
Beautiful video. What a kind woman to let you visit her house and film it to show where Peg lived. Very kind. Peg's suicide note just crushes your heart, she was not a coward, not even a tiny bit. Mental pain is the worst pain there is and back then there was not much help. She must have suffered a lot. This was a great video, also love the information about the Hollywood sign, just looked up an old photo and it was fun to see it was indeed called Hollywoodland. Amazing video, just like always =3.
There was a time when the original sign was falling apart, money was raised to create a new lasting sign.

I always remembered the Paranormal Witness episode of her story. It was so terrifying but also so sad. Another awesome video !
The fact that the Hollywood Sign Trust granted access and even sent someone to assist is amazing. What a great organization.
The trust has been amazing the entire time. Some of the friendliest people we have encountered in Hollywood.
What a great way to spend the last morning of 2024. Thanks Michael and Jessica.

My husband and I would love to meet you guys one day. We really enjoy your content. Please keep up the great work! Much love from, Oklahoma!
Super Emotional! Just Wow to experience such a treat.
- IN FOREVER LOVING MEMORY OF PEG ENTWISTLE -
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US THE SCENERY TOO
One thing I’ve always wanted to see in your videos is you interacting with the homeowners or people more. That’s if they are okay with being on camera. And getting their perspective on what you are filming. Thanks again and happy new year!🎆
This was really a fantastic video. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You are the master of lining up photos with shots. Thank you so much for sharing this very interesting story. I have heard it before, but not told as well as you told it. My heart breaks for her and how sad she was.❤
Thank you for this respectful tribute to Peg!
And thank you also for all the great content this year!
I wish that you stay healthy and positive, and hopefully you'll reach the one million subs in '25!
Thank you for bringing us along on this adventure! You guys are always great with the details of Hollywood history and reminding us the beauty of of LA and California. It is so cool to see your excitement through your videos!
This story is so sad, thanks for Sharing!
Hopefully, Peg now knows peace. Thank you for taking us on this journey. RiP Peg Entwistle
Thank you for this video! I enjoy knowing about vintage old Hollywood movies and old classic Stars! ⭐
I think it speaks to the kind of person that you are, that people give you permission to go to some of these places. Thank you for telling her story so respectfully
Well done! Awesome channel! RIP PEG.
Another fantastic video. I remember finding Peg‘s house as well. We got up to the Hollywood sign by that fence. But we did not attempt to scale down to the actual letters. So good on you.
I can’t imagine how Peg hiked up that long way in a dress and barefoot!!
Thank you so much for this tour and for all the wonderful views off Griffith Park. I have not been back in over 10 years and Thanks to you and others. I follow on TH-cam. I get to travel back there from the comfort of my chair. Happy new year to you and Jessica. Looking forward to your next video.
What a sad story made more tragic by the fact she got that letter the next day. If only she had put it of another day. Its great you do these with such emphathy feeling and respect. Thanks michael and jess. jim uk
urban legend, I highly suspect the "letter in the mail the next day" is folklore
Amazing video really enjoyed it .May she rest in peace.
Such amazing views. And to get a chance to be up, close and personal to the Hollywood sign 😮 mind blowing. Such a sad story, but a wonderful tribute. ❤
That's fascinating! Poor Peg, I never realised she walked so far to do that. I first heard about her from comments on Lana del Rey's Lust for Life where she jumps off the sign but Lana said she'd never heard about Peg Entwistle before.
Thank you Mr & Mrs Grimm for this one! Endless love for you!💚
Tysm for ALWAYS BEING RESPECTFUL towards ALL DEPARTED in ALL your episodes. God bless. . . 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️
Such a tragic end. Thanks for yet another amazing video!
These story's are so compelling. Great job. Very symbolic what she did made a statement. Walking history very cool and chilling. She had a long walk to think what she is doing or about to do chilling. Nice job as always very through and respectful.
This channel is so unique in content. I love it!
this is why I like watching your videos because unlike other spooky channels on TH-cam who treat suicide stories like a gimmick your classy,tasteful and non judgemental which is so refreshing to see. also love the storytelling and how respectful you are when visiting sites. keep up the great work
Omg! That was an amazing! Video. And an honor to have access to the Hollywood sign. Such a sad story of that lady to have jumped from a now I conic sign. Thank you for this video .🎃🖤👻
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Very educational and interesting before I get there. Happy New Year Michael and Jessica from London !
I knew this would be the story you’d cover! Diving into this now!
👻
Thank you for sharing Peg's story. This is one reason that I love you two. Your always repectful. R.I.P. Peg. 💚❤
Great video, Peg Entwistle was Welsh she was born not too far from my home town a place called Port Talbot
Awesome job taking us along your journey! The long walk to Peg’s end really gives perspective. She must have planned and thought about this for some time before she absolutely decided her fate. Thank you again!
Michael, this video blew me away! I admire and have so much respect for you and Jessica and the way you show us history and honor those from it. Thanks so much, and Happy New Year to you both! ❤
Each of your historic adventures get more interesting. Thank you again. Can't get enough grimmlifecollective.
Such a respectful and heartfelt telling of a tragedy. Michael, you have such a way of being so respectful. Awesome to see babyghoul again. Love you both. The pictures that you showed of Peg, such a beautiful lady. Hollywood can be harsh sometimes. It's funny, I have lived in California all my life, and never took the time to really study the history it holds.
Love to you and babyghoul. God bless your journeys.
Not only do I enjoy your adventures and stories you share with us, I also think it's beautiful that you and Jessica share the same interests and get to enjoy and share these trips together. Thanks for including us as well.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Sad story, but I like how sympathetic & respectful you are when you do videos like this.
Thank you SO much for telling the story of Peg Entwistle! So many stories about the "crazy lady" who jumped off the sign which aren't true, but still believed. She wasn't a "crazy lady", she was a poor lost soul who simply reached the end of her rope and the knot came untied. Back in the day (mid-60's) I used to hike & camp in those hills and even with the city so close, it was cold, VERY dark, and lonely up there. I can't begin to imagine what was going through her mind in that country knowing she was going up there to die.
The "Hollywood" sign will always be her marker and remind us what life can give... and take away.
Rest in Peace, Peg... you deserve a break.
Happy Holidays 🎉🎉 Thank you so much for bringing us along on your travels ❤
To walk for that long and be with your thoughts. I probably would of talked myself out of it. Her determination for that long is truly heartbreaking.
Thought you covered this story before, maybe somebody else did....too much true crime...lol
(Later, after watching) .....
I take it back, very well done. A very up close, and very personal look at one of the oldest and saddest true Hollywoodland stories. You have shown us the most detailed, and emotional display of the path that led to Pegs end, leaving her house, passing through the Hollywoodland Archways, walking up the slope, climbing the sign, and you literally touched them all as she did!, I got nervous chills as you touched the sign. Haunting, sad, historical.
I really did find this insightful look into the circumstances surrounding the tragic demise of P.E a fitting tribute.... respectfully done, ..very sad event!
Awesome as usual! There is the ‘Peg Entwistle’, the symbol for Hollywood lost dreams, and Ms. Entwistle the real person who tried to live life the best she could. The way you two tell the real stories, of real people, shows how much respect you have for people.
Absolutely awesome! I'm fascinated with the Hollywood sign. This video gave me a great idea for a follow up video. You mentioned the old sign wouldn't it be cool to track that down and see if it still exists? Who knows could be in a old warehouse. Great video!
What a terrific piece of Hollywood history and you tell it with such class and respect. Thank you.
Ive only walked to the Hollywood Sign once, there were hundreds of people around on the trails, you had no one! Kudos on getting access to the sign!
Another amazing video. You are one of the best channels on TH-cam. You do great research…. your presentation is always excellent, clear and concise. Great video work. I loved when you giggled at being able to touch the sign. RIP PE. ❤
Beautiful yet tragic xx🖤xx Strange sense of sorrow mixed with nostalgia, romance and beauty, thanks for an amazing video as always, until next time!!
Happy New Year Grimms!!
xx💚🖤xx
thanks for covering her life and death with compassion and sensitivity
Taking my break at work cause I can’t wait for this one.
A Grimm break is always good. Take an extra long one on us.
Currently watching this now, I’m in awe 9 minutes in
Great Hollywood History video again. R.I.P. Peg. Your informative videos are top notch. Happy New Years you guys. Spook on.
I was thinking she might be the subject of this video! Such a sad story. Looking forward to this one.
What a tragic story. I wish I was a film maker. I have this short film in my mind of her final moments and thoughts. Thanks for taking us with you up there.
I've actually got a big blown up picture of the Misfits with downtown L.A in the background hanging on my home studio wall, I've been there several times, but not all the way up to the sign..
never knew peg lived right there on beachwood though.That's pretty cool to know.
I live in the mountains of Virginia so I appreciate the views you are showing us! We are accustomed to trails like the ones you are on. I am older now and not so flexible but as a child would have run the trail down to the "H". Great job!
This video was very well told. I loved it. It touched my heart. That was so sad that Peg, thought she was not worth anything. RIP Peg Entwistle.
I've heard this sad tale about Peg many times, BUT, no one has ever been this through, and so close to the Hollywood sign. You gave me goosebumps! Thank you Michael, you are awesome ❤
A Great video, very moving one at that, made me tear up by the end. Reminded me, of me coming a hairs breadth away from taking my own life back in 2006. I reached out to try to talk to friends here in the UK, with no reply.
I phoned my sister who lives in New Zealand, she phoned me back. I was seriously in debt of rent arrears on my apartment, had an eviction notice served to me, looked at over twenty years worth of stuff, plus not having the money to pay the arrears off in one lump sum & thought, that’s it. Thankfully, my sister spoke to me & stopped it, yes, I came out the other side,but, Peg never did. I am glad to still be here, keep up the Great work Michael & Jessica, thank you for allowing me to be a member with you & everyone else…. Happy Halloween 🎃👻💀☠️😊
Another great video! I didn't know you could see the Hollywood sign from where she lived. So sad. Happy New Year you guys!!🙏🥂🎉 Thanks for all your hard work all the time.
