Peggy Lynch was born on May 11, 1929, in Los Angeles, California. By the age of five, she was already performing in episodes of the Little Rascals/Our Gang film comedies.
She was cast in the movie If You Knew Susie (1948) as star Eddie Cantor’s daughter. She graduated from high school during the production of the film. Her younger brother in the film was played by Bobby Driscoll between his appearances in Disney’s Song of the South (1946) and Disney’s Treasure Island (1950).
