Members alwaysAMC Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 I just read an article at Yahoo! News about this. Anne Meara (AMC's ex-Peggy Moody) and her husband Jerry Stiller are getting stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Very cool! Anne played Peggy on AMC back in the 90's - she was Gillian's grandma (right?) and was living in Wildwind. She was a fun character and I loved her scenes with Gillian, Ryan, and Edmund the most! And I had NO idea - but she is Ben Stiller's MOM! Learn something new everyday! haha Link for story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070210/ap_en_...stiller___meara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jean60amc Posted February 10, 2007 Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 She wasn't Gillian's Grand ma ma, but was connected to Dimitri I think. Anne Meara played Peggy Moody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted February 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 10, 2007 ^^OHHH that's right - Gillian's grand ma ma was Eugenia right? Peggy was the maid at Wildwind then - maybe related to Dimitri? It was in the 90's - it's been awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AMCHistory Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 Yes, Peggy was the maid and Edmund's surrogate mother. She was being drugged at the nursery home Dimitri had placed her in. She was there for Ed and Maria's wedding and their commitment ceremony a year later!

Members Pine Charles Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 Peggy wasn't related to Dimitri or Edmund. She was the nanny when Edmund was little, and Dimitri hired her at Wild Wind as the cook/maid. Here's a picture of Jerry Stiller, Julia Barr, and Judy Blye Wilson at an AMC party a few years ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Target Demo Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 I flove her and her hubby. They are TV royalty and go waay back to the MaryTylerMoore days. And they managed to bring forth a new generation of FUN without some pathetic loser drug drama ... So excellent! Anne, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jean60amc Posted February 11, 2007 Members Share Posted February 11, 2007 I've watched Stiller and Meara perform since the early days of stand up comedy and they were so funny! They both have a long list of credits, including their son Ben. I know I am old, but this makes me feel ancient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
