According to Stooges biographers, she was also Healy's offscreen girlfriend during that time.[2][3][4] In the film Plane Nuts, she plays a "fourth stooge", working as a partner to Moe, Larry, and Curly as they tormented Healy during his stage act. She was a stage and vaudeville actress for several years before her film career.[1]
Bonnell died of liver failure on March 14, 1964.
