Peggy Hopkins Joyce / Various Millionaires

Peggy Hopkins Joyce was flamboyantly, gleefully, famously a gold digger. An actress and socialite, Peggy left home at age 15 with a vaudeville bicyclist then dumped him for a millionaire she met on the train. She went on to marry a total of six times—usually millionaires. Her marriages (and the affairs she had both in and out of them) broke out of gossip columns and into legend. It's not exactly the best thing to be known for but it's something!

Her movies were so steamy that they ultimately provoked the Hays board into censoring films—our generation didn't invent tawdry puns involving cats. She was also mentioned in lyrics by the likes of Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart as a shorthand for excess. In 1920, she made headlines for spending $1 million dollars of her third husband's money in just a week. We can't really blame her though if we had that much money to blow away on just anything, we probably would too.

All information needed to solve the puzzle below is on the cache page.
