Thelma Todd Mentioned In Hell's Angels Cast







Thelma Todd is mentioned as being among the cast of HELL'S ANGELS in a number of fan magazines at different stages of the production.


In the upper part of the center of the page is an early announcement of HELL'S ANGELS which mentions both Greta Nyssen and Thelma Todd.

MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC, July -December 1928 according to Lantern Media.


Is this Lon Chaney Duck scientifically accurate? I think not. Nor indeed do I think it was used in any duck tale of any kind, being a picture for publicity only.




In the middle of this page is an announcement that HELL'S ANGELS is being completed, with both Greta Nyssen and Thelma Todd mentioned as being among the cast.
MOTION PICTURE NEWS from Lantern Media, with the imprecise date of July - September 1928.


This announcement must have been premature as Jean Harlow was used in the sound version.




At the lower right-hand side of the page is an announcement that HELL'S ANGELS has been completed, with Thelma Todd stated to be among the cast.
MOTION PICTURE NEWS May 10, 1930.


Thelma Todd was not among the cast of the finished movie.
