Thelma Todd as Iva Archer in The Maltese Falcon (1931). Thelma was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts and had 119 acting credits from 1926 to 1936. She died of carbon monoxide poisoning at the age of 29. Many thought it was a murder, and not a suicide, and the episode remains controversial.

Her other notable credits include Monkey Business and Horse Feathers with the four Marx Brothers, and Son of a Sailor with Joe E Brown. At the time of her death, she was co-starring in a series of comedy shorts with Patsy Kelly. The Maltese Falcon seems to be a rare dramatic role.
