Life and work edit
Peacock began acting in the film studios at the age of nineteen. She worked for Universal Pictures, Pathe Pictures and Bosworth Pictures, at various times.[1]
Peacock was severely injured in 1916 during the filming of a comedy scene in which she was to leap from one running automobile to another. Despite her injuries, she continued her career until early 1918 when she became incapacitated by the effects of her injuries. She was 28 years old, and had lived in Los Angeles for eleven years, after moving with her parents from Scottdale to Los Angeles.[1]
She died in August of that year at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. S.W. Webb in Los Angeles, California. She is interred at Hollywood Cemetery.
