All of this is complicated by the fact that the Sheila Keuhl, the actor who played Zelda was in real life a gay woman who ultimately lost out on getting her own spinoff because she didn\u2019t fit the idea for what a leading lady was in the early 1960s. But Keuhl got the last laugh IRL, and Zelda Gilroy\u2019s queer adjacent legacy lives on in Velma from Scooby-Doo. We have episode transcripts&amp;nbsp;courtesy of&amp;nbsp;Sarah Neal.
