Diana Serra Cary — born on Oct. 29, 1918, and best known by her stage name Baby Peggy — was one of the most well-to-do child stars of the silent film era thanks to a seven-figure contract signed at age 4. Cary recently marked her 99th birthday by self-publishing her first novel, The Drowning of the Moon.
