Daughter of Margaret Talmadge. Anita Loos, author of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," has always credited many of the wisecracks of Lorelei Lee and Dorothy to direct quotes from Peg Talmadge.

Irving Berlin called her "a virtuous tramp" and Anita Loos referred to her as "one of the few genuine femme fatales I have ever known".

Like many silent film stars, she rarely gave her real birth year. The most common years given for her birth are 1898, 1899, and 1900. The years 1903-1973 are engraved on her tomb marker.

Younger sister of Norma Talmadge and Natalie Talmadge.

Nicknamed "Dutch" because, as a child, she was a chubby tomboy with blonde hair and brown eyes that made her look "like a little Dutch boy."

Talmadge Street in Hollywood, California, is named for Constance and her sister Norma Talmadge.

Aunt of Buster Keaton Jr. and Bob Talmadge.

Ex-sister-in-law of Buster Keaton, George Jessel, Joseph M. Schenck.

Throughout most of her marriage to Townsend Netcher, she lived in Chicago with him and his mother, Mollie Netcher Newbury, the owner of the upscale Boston Store. On January 20, 1936, while Constance was visiting Norma in Florida, Townsend and Mollie were attending a dinner party at a friend's Lincoln Park West apartment when four masked burglars broke in. When they found out that Constance was out of town, they took $45 in cash and left with the apartment owner's young son. They took the boy to the basement of the apartment building -- their point of entry where they had imprisoned four workers -- and let the boy go before fleeing. Because they had left behind valuable silverware and jewelry, the Chicago PD theorized that Constance had been the intended target of a kidnapping, although her husband and the apartment owner disputed this.

Her image appears on the cover of the music CD Electro Swing Fever Vol. 3 which was released in 2014.

Was close friends with Marion Davies.
