Biography


According to The California Eagle, Peters started off her life in Chicago, where she worked as a caterer. After relocating to Los Angeles, she began appearing in motion pictures around 1920, although she was hesitant at first due to her Christian values. By the time she arrived in Hollywood, she was a widow with one living son.[3]
