Patsy Kelly brought a wisecracking, working-class energy to Hollywood comedies for decades and later earned acclaim for her chilling turn in Rosemary’s Baby. There Goes My Heart, Merrily We Live and The Cowboy and the Lady are the 1938 comedies, with a runaway heiress, a surprising butler and a socialite posing as a maid. Thanks a Million and The Girl from Missouri round out the list.
