    Thelma Todd: Glamour, Gasoline, and a Locked Door | Mental History Podcast

    Thelma Todd: Glamour, Gasoline, and a Locked Door | Mental History Podcast She was a 1930s comedy star with over 120 film credits, a booming Hollywood café, and a circle of powerful men—some dangerous, some worse. Then, at 29 years old, Thelma Todd was found dead in her garage, dressed in mink and mystery. In this episode, we explore her rise to fame, the tangled relationships behind the scenes, and the conspiracy theories that refuse to die. The cameras stopped rolling, but the story never really ended. I know it’s been a while, so here’s a refresher on what we do here! If you like history, psychology, true crime, or stories lost to time, you’ll love it here.
