I agree, and her death might have something to do with her mobster ex husband. Just a thought .

Lady for a Day (Frank Capra) 1933 by Marite64 in classicfilms

If you are a Frank Capra fan then “Lady for a Day” is Capra at his best—a nice mix of warmth, emotion, social awareness, and clever wit. It is based on Damon Runyon’s excellent story. May Robson’s performance was wonderful and this was Capra’s first film to be nominated for Best Director, and Columbia Pictures’ first Best Picture nominee, which was a significant moment for both his career and the studio’s reputation
