Thelma
Todd
1906-1935
A comic actress who stared alongside Buster Keaton and the Marx
Brothers. The studio was so impressed by her comedic chops, they gave
her a series of short comedies.
After being locked out of a friend's house late one night, she waited
in the garage in her car, running the engine, presumably for warmth.
She was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning the next morning.
