Actress Peggy Webber has died aged 100.

The prolific radio actress, who worked alongside Orson Welles and Sir Alfred Hitchcock on the big screen, passed away on Saturday (08.15.26) at an independent living facility in Napa, California.

Peggy's son, Rob Sinskey, told The Hollywood Reporter his mother passed away from natural causes.

She was previously living in Los Angeles, but was evacuated following the January 2025 wildfires.

Webber was best known for her radio work, but she worked alongside iconic actor and director Welles on his 1948 movie adaptation of Macbeth, portraying a "glamourous" version of Lady Macduff.

After doing some radio work with Welles, he approached her about auditioning for the role.

She previously told Time magazine: "A few years later he called me to come audition for his movie version of Macbeth.

"When I got there he was in this loose-fitting shirt and he looked exhausted. Sweating and everything.

"He told me, 'Now, I don't want you to do the traditional Lady Macduff. I want you to do a glamorous kind of young person. I want her to be maybe 21 or something like that.'

"I did it with a Scottish accent as he wanted and he said, 'That's it. That's it.' And I got the part."

Webber also worked for legendary filmmaker Hitchcock in his in 1956 movie The Wrong Man, in which she played Miss Dennerly.

Another of Webber's notable movie roles saw her portray Jenni Whitlock in the 1958 horror film The Screaming Skull.

She also graced the small screen, making numerous appearances on M Squad - from 1957 to 1960 - and she starred in Dragnet from1967 to 1970.

But Webber's main work came in thousands of radio show episodes, including The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, in which she appeared alongside Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.

Peggy also appeared alongside Herbert Marshall in The Man Called X; Lionel Barrymore and Lew Ayres in The Story of Dr. Kildare; and she starred opposite William Conrad in Escape.

What's more, she portrayed the role of Casablanca character Ilsa - made famous by Ingrid Bergman on the 1942 big screen version - in a 1944 serialised version of the film for the NBC Radio anthology program Star Playhouse.
