Well, yeah. That kind of stinks.
Still, she got to be in more Marx Brothers films than most of the rest of us, so that must count for something.
Actually, she had IMO pretty remarkable comic timing. Being able to hold one's own against the onscreen antics of the Brothers is no mean feat, and quite a few people in the films weren't up to it.
RIP, Ms. Todd!
