September 18, 1932 – Actress Peg Entwhistle, 24, ends it all by leaping from the H of the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. Her ashes are near the grave of her father in Oak Hill Cemetery in Glendale, a suburb of Cincinnati. A letter from the Beverly Hills Playhouse mailed the day before she jumped and received the day after, offered her a lead role in a stage production. That character committed suicide.
