    The Klepto- Peggy Webber- was a member of a small group of female actors Jack Webb used on a consistent basis, even on the reboots of Dragnet years later, if you were loyal to him, he took care of you. In an interview with Peggy about the life of Jack Webb and working as a regular cast members in the Color TV series Dragnet, was going through a messy divorce from her first husband. Creator, director and her boss of the Dragnet series Jack Webb was a huge help to Peggy in handling her divorce with financial and personal advice. She too, was a very talented actress, and creator- Webber created "Oh Miss Tubbs" with Verna Felton, Arthur Q. Bryan, John Brown, Walter Tetley and Jane Morgan. CBS took an option but then created "Our Miss Brooks" with many of the same characters.

    This woman thought it was no big deal she stole out of loneliness. In doing so she destroyed the reputation of a young sales girl who depended on her trust & honesty in her line of employment. I hope she was given a full apology by the Thief and prior employment plus it should be noted in the media. The sales girl should be compensated $ from the thief. I feel bad for the sales girl for there will always be someone who remembers' the thief & why she left the job no knowing she was cleared.

    I worked with loss prevention in a large retail chain. Percentage wise, 40% of theft was done by customers and 40% was due to staff theft (10% of shrinkage was down to stocktaking errors). Of course these days we have the ability to place cameras in departments where losses are significant as identified by analysis of the point of sale data. These camera placements would be done after hours.

    Peggy had also stolen a baby in "The Big Mother" 1/31/52. Got to watch out for that lady! Seriously, she was one of Jack Webb's favorite actresses and you can see why here. She's still with us at age 98!. She was only three years older than Allene Roberts, who was actually 24 when she played the 15-year-old. She died 5 years ago at the age of 90!. The original Dranet was a long time ago. We can all be glad that the episodes have been preserved and can be seen on You-Tube!

      Also, she had a mental illness, kleptomania. She may have been given a suspended sentence, community work and required to get psychological treatment. But maybe they didn't have those options then- Maybe the husband used it as an excuse to get rid of her, divorced her and marries his receptionist. :)
