Bonnie Bonnell (August 1, 1905 – March 14, 1964) was an actress who played "straight woman" in seven early short comedies, most of which featured the Three Stooges when they worked with Ted Healy between 1933 and 1934.
According to Stooges biographers, she was also Healy's offscreen girlfriend during that time. In the film Plane Nuts, she plays a "fourth stooge", working as a partner to Moe, Larry, and Curly as they tormented Healy during his stage act. She was a stage and vaudeville actress for several years before her film career.
Bonnell died of liver failure on March 14, 1964.
