BiographyPeggy Mondo (August 12, 1927 – February 19, 1991) was an American actress known for playing roles of overweight characters. Her early background included training as an opera singer before making her Broadway theatre debut in the late 1950s musical The Music Man and later appeared in the 1962 film adaptation. Mondo felt she was typecast into roles that emphasized her weight.

Having been unsuccessful in losing weight, as her career progressed, she embraced her figure and found a niche in roles of overweight characters. As well as several films, her work also spanned various television series, including The Addams Family, McHale's Navy, and To Rome with Love. Her career continued into the 1980s with her performance as cousin Tessie in the film Fatso.

Mondo died in February 1991 of a heart attack in her Los Angeles home and was survived by her brothers.
