Something about Thelma Todd

[a***@yahoo.com]

Her real name is The Ice Cream Blonde

A one-time teacher and beauty queen, Thelma went to Hollywood in the
late 1920s and soon became one of the premier comediennes of her day,
with many appearances in comedy shorts (with Zasu Pitts, Patsy Kelly,
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, and others), and also feature-length
movies. In the 1930s, she began to turn more attention to running a
restaurant, "Thelma Todd's Sidewalk Cafe." Many thought her 1935 death
to be murder and there was no shortage of suspects, but subsequent
investigations by the DA's Office and a grand jury failed to find an
answer that satisfied. 16 December 1935, carbon monoxide poisoning

Oh, that Mr. and Mrs. Blonde! They must have been a riot at the maternity
hospital. Say, have you heard about her brother Natural and sister Peroxide?
