Thelma Daniels

born: 16 November 1913 New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America

died: 18 February 1999 Arlington, Texas, United States of America (age 85)

American child actress. Her son (with her first husband, minor league baseball pitcher Larry Gillick) is MLB general manager and executive Pat Gillick, who won three World Series championships as GM and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2011. She was Snub Pollard's leading lady in his 1926 Weiss Bros. comedy THE YOKEL, directed by onetime Roach director James D. Davis and also featuring Roach alums Bob O'Conor, Eva Thatcher, Jean Hope, and Sammy Brooks. She owned and operated an antique doll business for fifteen years before her death in a nursing home in 1999. Her married name was Mineau. There is a source that lists her dates as 11 Jan 1896 - 1970 but this appears to be incorrect.
