Since we are so interested in her, let's make a thread just for Wanda.

Great! I guess I'll just repost that gif I found (from DeviantArt). Two scenes from the comedy short A Speedy Marriage (1925). Extremely low quality, but it's better than nothing.

Excellent! I enjoyed that article. That is some unusual background for a comic actress. Sounds like she was pretty far along, too. Well, if someone got a tooth damaged in the slapstick goings-on on set, maybe she got a chance to prove her stuff. :)

The last sentence of paragraph 3 stymied me for a minute before I figured out "thought" should be "though".

I like those gifs. :D This looks like one of those "a rich relative has died and left you a fortune, but you have to be married by [fill in time]" plots. :D I wonder how they did that blasting out of the chair effect.

This is a really large one, sorry. Every time I tried to resize it would gain unsightly artifacts.

I actually prefer the longer length of gif. Most good ones are between 5 and 15 seconds, anyway.
