About Peggy Thompson

Peggy Thompson's most recent film credit is the documentary film The World's Oldest Basketball Team (2007) on which she was Executive Producer.

Review From the New York Times of The Oldest Basketball Team in the World

Meet "The Retreads" - one of the only major all women's basketball teams whose members each have the distinction of being over 50. (The median age of the players is 72). The age factor and the health conditions engendered by it pose a unique set of hindrances for these participants, and make team competition - particularly competition against teams with younger, faster, more svelte female players - doubly challenging. Sharon McGowan's 48-minute documentary The Oldest Basketball Team in the World takes a compassionate, heartfelt and inspirational look at these girls as they train for the intimidating World Masters Games. ~ Nathan Southern

A film by Sharon McGowan, Executive Producers Peggy Thompson & George Baptist
