    She was a notorious speed demon and was once sentenced to ten days in jail. Her mother spent time with her there as movie stars visited. She later starred in a movie to capitalize on this incident. Who was she and what was the name of the movie?

    Question #112298. Asked by serpa. (Jan 21 10 10:54 PM)

    		Her name was Bebe Daniels, and the movie was The Speed Girl.

    This was a few years ago, like before Qp's parents were born.

    "'One of the things I enjoyed most, when I wasn't making films, was speeding. I had a fast car which, in the twenties, did over seventy miles an hour--quite a speed in those days; and I was constantly being caught by speed cops for driving too fast.'"

    "The Speed Girl was advertised as 'a six cylinder hundred and twenty fun powered record-breaking comedy with Bebe at the wheel. The brakes are off. Slip her into high. Now step on it!'"
