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.
