Mabel Todd

Mabel Todd worked with Ted Healy

and she worked with Patsy Kelly

Although this Todd and Kelly team only lasted for one movie,

which actually starred Gary Cooper and Merle Oberon,

 seen at right. Mabel Todd is at left.

Mabel Todd usually seems to have been regarded as comedy relief

 although the fact that she was another Todd who was in comedies appears to have been coincidental.

Her real  last name was Dobbs.

 Mabel Todd also worked in radio

 as a matter of fact she entered the movies after having started on radio.

With Jackie Gleason in 1942,

before he was a television star. 

Mabel Todd's own career ended in 1946.
