Peg LaCentra (born Margherita Maria Francesca La Centra, ( 10. April 1910 in Boston, Massachusetts; - 1. Juni 1996 in Los Angeles, California) Singer Peg LaCentra is most famous for her work with Artie Shaw in the late 1930s. LaCentra grew up in Boston and briefly attended the New England Conservatory of Music. Her main ambition in life though was to become an actress, and she concluded her studies at the Katharine Gibbs Finishing School and the Fenway Academy of Dramatic Art. She later appeared in a number of films and episodic TV, particularly dubbing non-singing actresses. The most famous of these are Susan Hayward in Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman (1947) and Ida Lupino in The Man I Love (1947) and Escape Me Never (1947). She appeared (as herself) in the background of Joan Crawford's Humoresque (1946), singing.
