@loveoldmovies I think you are absolutely right there--Courageous Thelma told the mob to 'get lost' when they wanted her cafe--and they rubbed her out. Yes, THAT's tragic--she was a fine comedic actress and great beauty, to boot. Lets watch her good movies and remember that her films aren't 'tragic'---but great fun--and so was she.

Pretty is pretty no matter what time period you are talking about.

West and Thelma were partners in the Sidewalk Cafe, and Thelma had been married to Lucky Luciano's West Coast righthand guy, Pasquale Di Cicco, who called himself a theatrical agent but was a cruel guy who took advantage of women...he later married Gloria Vanderbilt when she was 17. Thelma divorced Di Cicco over 'extreme cruelty' a year before she was murdered. He left LA the day after her body was found. Thelma had agreed to testify against Lucky and her life was threatened. I think he did it.

@lana1939 There is still talk that Roland West had Thelma Todd killed. Wasn't West in the mob?

This are such great clips...and the director was Roland West, her married lover, who was a suspect in her death. He locked her out of the house that night...if not, she would have lived. What a loss. Love Chester Morris with her...She was smart, beautiful, sexy, funny, and athletic...Thanks for sharing this tribute!

Fantastic video. Its a shame that Thelma Todd's film work is so overshadowed by her strange death. She looks amazing in these clips. well done

Gad, Thelma was exquisite--and funny! You can't take your eyes off her--definition of a star. Carole Lombard and she shared similar comic gifts/beauty, but I think "Toddy" was even more down to earth.
