Miss McIntaggart, who also goes by the name Peggy Sands, is to be featured in a pictorial in an upcoming issue of Playboy magazine. She is an aspiring actress. Photo by Peter Spohn Salmonella outbreak results Penetang woman making her mark in Californiasun Penetanguishene's very own Peggy MclIntaggart is doing quite well for herself in the glittery world of southern California. The 23-year-old woman has completed a photo session with Playboy magazine and is to be featured in a pictorial spread in an upcoming issue of the publication. She is to be featured under the name Peggy Sands. Peggy was born in Midland and raised in Penetanguishene. She is the daughter of Stella and Basil McIntaggart. They live on Chatham Street in Penetang. Peggy flew home to be with her family for Christmas from Los Angeles where she has been living for about one year. She is an aspiring actress and spends much of her time in acting classes and auditioning for parts in film and TV. Peggy flew back to L.A. on Sunday and begins 1985 preparing for a hoped-for entry into a film career. On Saturday, sporting a red sweat shirt with the logo of the Screen Actors Guild on the front of it, Peggy dropped by the Citizen office to talk about some of the things she looks forward to in Hollywood. She has already come a lot further than most young aspiring actors and actresses who go to Hollywood in search of elusive fame and fortune. Peggy was filmed for a few scenes in Into the Night, a yet-to-be-released film directed by John Landis. She said there is no guarantee her lines in the film will survive the cutting room floor but it appears as though Peggy is getting her foot in the door in Hollywood. Apart from the shooting for the Landis film and the photo session with Playboy, Peggy has been trying out for parts in television programs. '"'I'd really like to get a part in a TV pilot,"' Peggy said. To this end, she is busy attending auditions. Peggy has her coveted work visa and an agent - and determination to make it in a tough business. "You've really got to kick butt," Peggy said. This means convincing yourself and the people in the business that you are right for the part, she explained. Peggy has wanted to be an actress since she was a small child. She wound up in Hollywood after talking to a friend who happened to be dating Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner. "TI spent five months looking around and was introduced into acting through acting classes and an acting coach," she said. Peggy got her work visa a lot faster than many Canadians who go to Hollywood to find a place in show business. "T never thought I'd be in Hollywood," she said. "T feel very, very lucky.'"' Peggy's parents are "very supportive.' If she gets a part inaTV pilot, - Peggy said, she'll see to it that her parents come downto visit in Los Angeles where she shares a condo with a friend. Peggy said that staying in shape and keeping healthy are very important to her. She said that some day she would like to start her own aerobic fitness classes. She has obivously impressed others with her own physical fitness. A few years ago, Peggy competed (but did not place) in a Dock Lunch Miss Bikini contest. A couple of years after that, though, Peggy won the Miss Nude World Contest in Hamilton. Today, Peggy said, she is going to make sure that she dows her homework to stay in top acting form. She attends her acting classes.several times a week and listens to what her acting coach has to say. Peggy has already made a mark in Hollywood and if she is very lucky, may have a career there. $1.7 million shot in the arm Simeoe County Ontario Provincial was found to be con- District Health Unit has Police officers on taminated, Straughan completed its part of the Special* duty in the _ said. papal visit salmonella Midland area during However Straughan outbreak investigation.
