Linda Loredo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linda Loredo (June 20, 1907 - August 11, 1931) was a former dancer of Mexican descent. She appeared in several of Laurel & Hardy's films, including foreign versions of Blotto and Be Big. She also appeared in the original version of Come Clean as Mrs. Laurel.
[edit] Career
Loredo entered films in 1928 and was most commonly associated with Laurel & Hardy short subjects. Her fiery Latin temper played excellent counterpoint to the team's comic buffoonery. She made eight films in 1930/1931, and her star seemed destined to continue rising at the Hal Roach's studio.
Twenty-four year old Loredo entered Queen of Angels Hospital on June 11, 1931 for an emergency appendectomy and died two months later from peritonitis and other post-operative complications.
