Funny Girl was based on her. She was a comedienne in vaudeville, and succeeded in a field normally reserved for men (not a lot of women were on vaudeville for their brains).
As for female celebrities in the 30's, I'm not entirely sure. She did get into movies during that time, and I'm sure enjoyed some fame.
Any research into Ziegfeld Follies will catch her name, i'm sure.
