It was in 1938 when this film was made that she bleached her hair and became "Blondie" and continued until 1950.

Thanks for the look

Wow, never saw this before, thanks! She had just switched from Dorothy McNulty, to Penny Singleton by the time she made this film...

@ziggyelman

I posted a clip (" Blow That Horn") of Penny (Dorothy McNulty) from a 1936 film "After The Thin Man"

Thanks for the look.

What I find really fascinating is that in another 26 years...this clip will be 100 years old!!

She was also the first female president of one of the Actor guilds. She had to fight the mob. Also, she started residuals for the entertainment industry as well.
