About Maid in Hollywood
Thelma, who came to Hollywood from Joplin to be a star, is ready to go home. She and her pal Patsy are packing up and packing it in. Then, through Patsy's deviousness, Thelma gets a call to come to the studio immediately to audition for a costume drama.
Directed by Gus Meins, Maid in Hollywood leans on a strong ensemble — Thelma Todd, Patsy Kelly, Constance Bergen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1934.
