Thelma Todd And Raquel Torres Page
Thelma Todd and Raquel Torres are pictured together on the page of a foreign fan magazine. The picture of Thelma Todd looks like it might be from VAMPING VENUS. Raquel Torres worked with the Marx Brothers in DUCK SOUP. I may have seen her in other things, but that's what I remember right off.
Special thanks to Jorge Finkielman for providing us with this page.
