Thelma Parr (née Sill, October 19, 1906 – February 13, 2000) was an American actress who played in Mack Sennett comedies as one of the Sennett Bathing Beauties.[1] She was considered by film critics to be one of the most beautiful brunettes in Hollywood films.
Parr was reportedly a descendant of philosopher Thomas Paine.
She was married to banjo player, William E. Goman, in Santa Ana, California on May 21, 1925. Parr obtained a divorce decree from Goman in April 1930.
Parr's film career was ended by a car accident in which she received facial injuries in March 1928 on Sunset Boulevard.[2] Her mouth was badly mutilated when she was thrown against a windshield of an auto in which she was a passenger; Parr received a compensatory sum of $7,112 from the driver of the vehicle, Kenneth Sanderson.[3]
Thelma Parr died in San Clemente, California in 2000, aged 93.
