Early lifeMargaret Singer (nicknamed "Peggy") was born in London, England, the daughter of Adolph Singer and the former Gladys Follick.{{cn|date=April 2017}} CareerRobertson first met Hitchcock in 1948 at Denham Film Studios in London, England and moved to MGM-British Studios in Borehamwood to assist Hitchcock with the production of Under Capricorn (1949), on which she was credited for continuity (as Peggy Singer).[2] She helped to resolve conflicts between Ingrid Bergman and the director.[1][3] After commitments elsewhere, she became a permanent member of Hitchcock's production staff beginning with Vertigo, and "turned out to be a significant force" behind the look and sound of later Hitchcock films.[4] Robertson was Hitchcock's de facto associate producer, though she was never credited as such.[5] Hitchcock relied on Robertson to sift through prospective material for films, and after reading Anthony Boucher's positive review of the novel Psycho in his "Criminals at Large" column, Robertson decided to show the book to Hitchcock, even though studio readers at Paramount Pictures had already rejected its premise for a film.[6] Hitchcock acquired rights to the novel for $9,500[7] and reportedly ordered Robertson to buy up copies to preserve the novel's surprises.[6] She later worked as an associate producer on several Peter Bogdanovich films including Mask (1985).[8] Personal life and legacyPeggy Singer married Canadian film editor Douglas Robertson.{{When|date=December 2017}}[9] DeathShe was widowed in 1983, and died in 1998, aged 81, at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital in Woodland Hills, California, following a long illness. She was survived by a sister, Hazel Singer.[10] LegacyRobertson was portrayed by actress Toni Collette in the 2012 biographical film Hitchcock.[11] References1. ^1 {{cite book|last=Donnelley|first=Paul|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qAhtNiAl3YsC&pg=PA592&lpg=PA592|title=Fade to Black: A Book of Movie Obituaries|location=London & New York|publisher=Omnibus Press|year=2003|page=592}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Robertson, Peggy}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Sloan|first=Jane E.|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=CXVmVob3ajEC&pg=PA224|title=Alfred Hitchcock: The Definitive Filmography|location=Berkeley, Los Angeles & London|publisher=University of California Press|year=1995|pages=224–25}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Bergan|first1=Ronald|title=Smoothing Out The Hitch|work=The Guardian|date=16 February 1998}} 4. ^Jack Sullivan, [https://books.google.com/books?id=W2Atc7d4XLMC&lpg=PA155 Hitchcock's Music] (Yale University Press 2008), p. 155; {{ISBN|9780300134667}} 5. ^Donald Spoto, [https://books.google.com/books?id=8eF8rJDZvPYC&lpg=PA191 Spellbound by Beauty: Alfred Hitchcock and his Leading Ladies], Crown/Archetype 2008: p. 191; {{ISBN|9780307449979}} 6. ^1 {{Harvnb|Rebello|1990|pp=19–20}} 7. ^Leigh, p. 6 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Bergan|first1=Ronald|title=Smoothing Out The Hitch|publisher=The Guardian|date=16 February 1998}} 9. ^Donald Spoto, [https://books.google.com/books?id=9oIkYvZQr0MC&lpg=PA591&ots=RnqP14g6aD&dq=Peggy%20Singer%20Robertson&pg=PA311 The Dark Side of Genius: The Life of Alfred Hitchcock] (Da Capo Press 1999): p. 311; {{ISBN|9780306809323}} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=Oliver|first1=Myrna|title=Peggy Robertson; Personal Assistant to Hitchcock|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=12 February 1998|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1998/feb/12/news/mn-18394|accessdate=23 December 2017}} 11. ^Kristy Puchko, "Toni Collette on Hitchcock and the Shocking Moment with Anthony Hopkins on Set" Cinema Blend, 19 November 2012. 5 : 1916 births|1998 deaths|Script supervisors|Disease-related deaths in California|People from London |
