From the Wikipedia article
Patsy Kelly (born Bridget Sarah Veronica Rose Kelly; January 12, 1910 – September 24, 1981) was an American actress. She is known for her role as the brash, wisecracking sidekick to Thelma Todd in a series of comedy shorts produced by Hal Roach in the 1930s. Kelly continued to appear in similar roles after Todd's death in 1935. After her film career declined in the mid-1940s, Kelly returned to New York, where she worked in radio and summer stock.

Kelly returned to the stage in the 1971 revival of No, No, Nanette, for which she won a Tony Award.
