Peggy Wood

Peggy Wood is, for me, the embodiment of a complete performing life. Many remember her warm, luminous turn in The Sound of Music, but that was the late grace note of decades on stage, film, and television. I find her television work, particularly the long-running Mama, the more telling achievement, the kind of sustained, beloved presence that few actors ever manage. Honored even with a foreign decoration, she clearly earned respect well beyond the footlights. Born in 1892 and working into old age, she gave nearly her whole life to the craft, and that devotion still moves me.
