Date Sold 5/10/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 30 1980s REPRODUCTION stills of Thelma Todd (nicknamed "The Ice Cream Blonde" and "Hot Toddy"). She was a beautiful actress, often in comedies, from 1926 until her death in 1935. She was a Miss America contestant who started making movies in the mid-1920s, and when sound movies started and it was discovered that she had a pleasant voice, she started appearing in dozens of movies, mostly romantic comedies; she appeared in two Marx Bros. movies, and opened a Hollywood restaurant. Some of her movie roles include: Monkey Business, Counsellor at Law, Horse Feathers, Love Business, and Chickens Come Home. After having appeared in over 100 movies, she died in her garage from carbon monoxide poisoning on December 16th, 1935. Though her death was ruled a suicide by police, rumors have persisted that her ex-husband had a hand in her death. Noted expert Richard Bann tells us that Hal Roach explained this to him in person saying that "Roland West evidently meant only to punish Thelma, and locked the garage so she couldn't leave, and that the carbon monoxide killed her". Of course it makes a more commercial story to sensationalize her death as murder instigated by the mob. IMPORTANT! This group of stills contains MANY multiples of the same exact stills (primarily the publicity stills). There may be more than the EIGHT different images that are pictured included in this lot, but there may be only a few other different images, with the rest being multiples of those eight. It is also possible that there are many examples of any one or several of the pictured stills, and only one example of one or more of the pictured stills. We realize that there is a clear "gambling" element in bidding on these stills, so please bear that in mind before placing a bid on this lot, and know that we CAN'T open up the lot or answer any questions about it! Condition: very good to fine. The REPROs are in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
