var string = "../PeopleImages/GGP/Person_3281.jpg";
var arrFromString = string.split('/');

var lastPiece = arrFromString[arrFromString.length -1];

You can achieve this with a pretty simple regex:

var originalstring = "../PeopleImages/GGP/Person_3281.jpg";
var lastpiece = /[^/]*$/.exec(originalstring)[0];
