Clark, [Margaret Brownson] Peggy (1915–96), designer. A native of Baltimore she graduated from Smith College, then studied scenic design at Yale. Her first Broadway assignment was creating costumes for The Girl From Wyoming (1938).

Among the plays she lit were Love Life (1948), Miss Liberty (1949), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1949), Paint Your Wagon (1951), Pal Joey (1952), The Threepenny Opera (1954), Peter Pan (1954), Plain and Fancy (1955), Bye Bye Birdie (1960), and Mary, Mary (1961), as well as many productions of the New York City Center and the Los Angeles and San Francisco Light Opera Company.
