Actress playing Pegeen....


...looked maddeningly like Nanette Fabray--but I knew that would never be the type of part she would play so I had to keep telling myself it wasn't her.

The role was played by Pippa Scott, the daughter of noted screenwriter Allan Scott. Her husband was a co-founder of Lorimar Productions.

I definitely noticed the resemblance as well.

___That nose, it had to be Fabray. Even though the credits said otherwise, my eyes wouldn't accept it as someone else, especially someone I'd never heard of.

She was also in the movie Cold Turkey with Dick Van Dyke.

My first thought on first viewing, also. Totally clueless to her until we were blessed with IMDb. Imagine my shock upon finding out about her.
She played Lucy who ended up getting scalped/raped by Indians in The Searchers.

As well as Dick Van Dykes long suffering wife in Cold Turkey.
I had a crush on a school girl who looked just like her LONG before I knew who she was.
Fantastic figure and face.

There was a resemblance. Scoot could have been Fabray's younger, hotter sister.
