The mystery of what happened to the plane was never solved. It was later suggested, after reviewing the final radio transmissions, that carbon dioxide fumes from a deployed extinguisher may have leaked into the cockpit and knocked the crew out, allowing the unguided plane to descend by itself until it crashed.

Earl Carroll's long time romance with beauty Dorothy Knapp fell apart during the disastrous stage production of "Fioretta". Beryl stepped in as Earl Carroll's new star and the two became inseparable until their deaths together in a plane crash.

Hollywood folklore has it that Beryl had been enamored with Earl Carroll since the age of 13, after hearing the soft-spoken producer on a local radio program.

Died in a plane crash that killed 42 others, including Venita Varden, the ex-wife of actor Jack Oakie.

Stars flocked to the Carroll's theatre, passing beneath the neon-written words, "Through these portals pass the most beautiful girls in the world.".
