Under the stage name of Bonnie Bonnell she danced in vaudeville and acted in films. Often she worked with comedian Ted Healy and the Three Stooges. She has her own page on IMDB: Bonnie Bonnell on IMDB Maybe one of our readers will update her profile there using information from this blog. It should at least show her real name.
