The vivacious, talented, and lovely Thelma Todd was Hal Roach's top female comedian, who in her short 29-year lifetime graced over 100 films.

Morton, Charlie Hall, Anita Garvin, Bud Jamison, and others, as well as special collaborations with other top Hal Roach stars like Laurel and Hardy and Charley Chase.

Richard Finegan ( in the Thelma Todd Fans group on facebook ): Comments on the DVD cover, as posted above: ZaSu Pitts was first-billed in the Roach shorts, not Thelma Todd. But they have Thelma's name first.
ReplyDeleteAnd although both may be considered acceptable, I believe ZaSu usually spelled her name with the "S" capitalized.
Also, the Pitts/Todd shorts were produced between 1931 and 1933, not 1931-1932 as printed on the DVD cover.
