Drama teacher and children's television producer

During the filming of the more confrontational and violent scenes of Das letzte Haus links (1972), Peabody spent a lot of time on set being consoled by director Wes Craven due to how horrible she was being treated by her male costars.

Quit acting in the mid 1970s.

Initially, she was asked to audition for the role of Phyllis in Das letzte Haus links (1972). However, after meeting Wes Craven and Sean S. Cunningham she was chosen to play the lead role of Mari.

Was heavily involved in the emerging film industry in Miami, Florida during her early career before moving to New York.

[on Alicia Lagano] She had so much compassion for everything in the world, She was open and affected by everything, which is a great element for an actor to have, that kind of feeling and ability to relate to things and be so open at such a young age. She was willing to try everything, to throw herself on her face. Some people worry about their image and what they look like and what people will think of them. She was just so open and real.

[on Das letzte Haus links (1972)] The part when I walk into the water and he shot me had to be done over and over again.

[on her experience working with Victor Hurwitz] The cameraman [Hurwitz] was one of the better people on the set. That guy was great. He told me, "Have something else in your life besides acting because it's a terrible business." He was a fatherly kind of guy to me. He died a few years after Last House on his bicycle. It was really horrible and tragic.

[on being cast as Minnie in the stage production "Annie Get Your Gun"] Even the director thought I was a kid. He never found out the truth until I refused to sign a contract which called for an "accompanying guardian."

[on working in the film industry] It requires flexibility, being able to switch from one performing facet to another every two or three months, off-Broadway to film, to summer stock.
