Peggy appeared with Jim Garner in an episode of Maverick especially written for her entitled The Strange Journey of Jenny Hill.  It was the only episode in the series during which Bret Maverick proposed to the leading lady.  In this case Peggy, in the character of Jenny Hill, refused his proposal.
We're not exactly sure when Peggy decided to try a radically different hair style, but the result does bear some resemblance to her hair style in the Maverick sketch above.  Click the image at left and see four pictures of Peggy with this rather different coiffure.   
On January 29th, Peggy appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on CBS television.
