The Wild Duck
Entwistle, at age 17, played the role of Hedvig in a 1925 production of Henrik Ibsen's "The Wild Duck". After seeing the play, Bette Davis told her mother, "I want to be exactly like Peg Entwistle." Some years later, Broadway actress and director Blanche Yurka sent a note to Davis asking if she would like to play Hedvig, and Davis sent word back that ever since she had seen Entwistle in "The Wild Duck", she had known she would someday play Hedvig. Through the years, Davis said Entwistle was her inspiration to take up acting.
