Then, Luciano allegedly said, “That can be arranged.”
Other Sinister Theories
Some members of the public have also pointed to Pat DiCicco, Thelma’s ex-husband, as a possible suspect. They believe that Pat could have felt embarrassed following the divorce– especially considering how widely Thelma’s “Hot Toddy” reputation had spread. So, could he might have wanted revenge?
Finally, others suspect that Thelma’s mother, Alice, could have been the culprit. After all, Alice was the sole heir of Thelma’s assets. And just before her daughter died, Alice reportedly announced her grand plan of building a mansion with little to no means of affording it.
The Legacy Of “The Ice Cream Blonde”
Despite all of these concurrent suspicions, though, Thelma Todd’s death was ultimately ruled a suicide by a grand jury. Nonetheless, people around the globe have continued to question the ruling– since the star’s broken nose, two cracked ribs, and throat bruises were not likely self-inflicted.
Still, little can be done now to change the verdict. So, fans have been left mourning the loss of megastar Thelma Todd and her undoubted contributions to the golden age of Hollywood.
