March 28, 1936: The mayor of Ogden, Utah, says he may reopen the investigation of Thelma Todd’s death based on a tip from an informant who overheard a phone call from “a woman in black” who identified the killer while dictating a Western Union telegram to Los Angeles police. Los Angeles police told Ogden Mayor Harmon Perry that Todd committed suicide and that the case was closed. |

Patsy Kelly really was Rough On Blondes: first her friend Jean Malin died in a car accident (backed off a pier; Patsy was pulled barely alive from the wreckage); then costar Thelma Todd died in 1935; then Thelma’s replacement, Lyda Roberti, died in 1938!
Blondes, steer clear o’ Patsy!

Patsy Kelly and Thelma. Shouldn’t you have picked a different co-star, maybe Laurel and Hardy, Norman Kerry, Jimmy finlayson, or somebody like that?

Could have been a vaudeville act, Patsy, Kelly & Todd.
(Tip of the hat to Mel Brooks)

It’s Patsy!
I’ve seen the movie 15 times at least, but still didn’t catch the joke in “Blazing Saddles” until earlier this year. I think I learned about it when someone in comments here mentioned it.
