Not infrequently, homey scenes in Ethel and Albert would focus on the Arbuckles in their living room, with Albert reading the paper—here, with some exasperation.
Peg Lynch Papers, Coll 66.
Peg Lynch’s daughter, Astrid (Elise Astrid Ronning King), herself an actor and writer, has worked to establish her mother’s legacy by creating a website, peglynch.com, with biographical information, sample videos, and commentary on Peg’s work and life.
Peg Lynch and Astrid King have generously donated the Peg Lynch Papers to UO’s Special Collections and University Archives. The materials include several scrapbooks in which Peg Lynch recorded her interesting and impressive life in photos, news clippings, reviews, travel mementoes, and other ephemera. These are on exhibit and open to the public in Knight Library’s Special Collections and University Archives on the second floor north.
