PEGGY ANN GARNER WAS THE GREATEST ACTRESS WHO EVER LIVED! HER PERFORMANCE IN A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN WAS THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE IN HISTORY.NO ONE ELSE COULD HAVE PLAYED FRANCIE BUT PEGGY ANN.SHE HAD A VERY HARD LIFE AND SHE DIED ON OCTOBER 16 1984. LITTLE PEGGY ANN IS GONE BUT SHE WILL ALWAYS LIVE THROUGH THE MOVIE A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN. GOD BLESS MY LITTLE ANGEL PEGGY ANN GARNER!
shareYes she was truely wonderful in this film! She was a great actress.

Hear hear!!!
I just watced 'a tree..' for the first time tonight on CBC... Wow, what a movie!!
...and I have to agree... 'Francie'(Peggy) was absolutely outstanding!!... every scene with her in it was fantastic.. I almost can't believe I haven't come across this classic sooner!
PEGGY ANN WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERERD FOR HER PERFORMANCE IN "TREE"
BUT DO NOT FORGET HER PERFORMANCE IN NOB HILL, JUNIOR MISS,BLACK WIDOW,TERESA AND BOMBA THE JUNGLE BOY TO NAME A FEW.
I ONLY WISH THAT HER STATUE OF HER OSCAR COULD BE LOCATED. TWO DAYS AFTER PEGGY ANN DIED HER DAUGHTER (WHO DIED IN 1995 AT THE AGE OF 38) LET A REPORTER TAKE IT IN ORDER TO DO A STORY ON PEGGY ANN.IT WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN.
ALSO,IF HER LONG FORGOTTON TV SERIES -TWO GIRLS NAMED SMITH COULD BE FOUND THAT WOULD BE A TREASURE.THESE OLD TAPES ARE CONSIDERED LOST.
I OWN TWO RARE COPIES OF THE DVD A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN ON REGION 1. THESE ARE VERY HARD TO COME BY ON REGION 1.
NO MATTER WHAT- PEGGY ANN GARNER WAS,IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE GREATEST!!!!!!!
I agree that her performance in this movie was great and she should have been nominated for the best actress oscar and in fact should have won. She was magnificient and the movie and story centers around her. She is in nearly every scene. Shame on the Academy.
