Penny Day Matthews

Penny Day Matthews is an up-and-coming actress in 1942, appearing only in Luck Be a Lady. She was an ancestor of the Matthews family, who shared identical looks with Paige Matthews, which prompted Paige to impersonate her when she traveled back in time and after Penny quit her job to flee from Ned Hawkins.

History
Paige Matthews and her classmate Ben Kwatsai looked up information on her adoptive family and came across an old Los Angeles newspaper with Penny's picture on it. To her shock, she looked exactly like Paige. According to the paper, she had signed a deal with Osiris Studios to star in their feature Star-Spangled Nights.

When she traveled back to 1942 with Piper, Phoebe and Cole, Penny was so distraught at having to put up with Ned Hawkins's influence that she promptly quit her job at the studio, despite Chloe's begging. Paige then took over in hopes of getting close to Ned and learn about his business deals. Cole hid in her abandoned home after she left the city.
