1929 Thelma Todd Portrait by Hommel







THELMA TODD PORTRAIT BY GEORGE P. HOMMEL (CIRCA 1929)



 
 
 






Again we see that the name "Alison Loyd" ( a stage name she used in CORSAIR ) has been written on an earlier picture of Thelma Todd and later crossed out. At the time there was some confusion over which name to use for her. But after CORSAIR, Thelma Todd went back to being Thelma Todd, and the name "Alison Loyd" was largely forgotten.

Thelma Todd in MOTION PICTURE, January 16, 1926



At the dawn or her career, Thelma Todd was a classical beauty with long and beautiful hair, which the studio insisted should be cut to conform to the currently popular style.


 
 
Me, I like her that way.
 
 
 
 
This item comes from the January 16, 1926 issue of MOTION PICTURE.
