'''Peggy Sue Gerron Allison Rackham''' (June 15, 1940 &ndash; October 1, 2018) as a [[high school]] senior became the inspiration for the popular 1957 [[Buddy Holly]] song, "Peggy Sue."  

The 1986 film, ''Peggy Sue Got Married'', featured actress Kathleen Turner as a 43-year-old "Peggy Sue" who faints during her 25th high school reunion, believes that she has returned to her past, and reconsiders some of her earlier decisions. In 2008, Gerron published an [[autobiography]], ''Whatever Happened to Peggy Sue?: A Memoir by Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue'', 283 pages, to mark the 50th anniversary of the song.<ref name=findagrave/> The book drew the threat of a lawsuit to prohibit publication from Holly's widow, Mary Elena Holly, who holds copyright through her company, Holly Properties. Mrs. Holly claimed that her husband never considered Gerron a friend. Gerron said that she had the right to write her book, which she claims was based on 150 diary entries.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/buddy-hollys-widow-threatens-to-sue-peggy-sue-over-book|title=Buddy Holly's Widow Threatens to Sue 'Peggy Sue' Over Book|date=January 13, 2015|publisher=Foxnews.com|accessdate=October 6, 2018}}</ref>
