 Thelma Todd, known as the “Ice Cream Blonde,” was a comedic sensation of the 1930s whose effervescent charm won the hearts of moviegoers. However, her life was cut tragically short when she was found dead in her car in a garage above her café. Officially ruled an accidental death caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, rumors of foul play swirled, implicating gangsters, jealous lovers, and Hollywood rivals. This story examines the enigmatic circumstances surrounding Todd’s death, the pressures she faced as a woman in the entertainment industry, and the lingering questions about what truly happened on that fateful night in 1935.
