Toto—aka dog actor Terry—has cemented her place in hearts around the globe as the most beloved dog in the herstory of cinema.

Born on November 17th, 1933 during the wrath of the Great Depression, Terry got her start in cinema just one year later in the 1934 film "Ready for Love," starring Richard Arlen, Ida Lupino, and Marjorie Rambeau.

That same year, Terry starred as "Rags" alongside none other than Hollywood's first child star, the inimitable Shirley Temple.

It wasn't until 1939 that Terry would step into the role of a LIFETIME—Toto in "The Wizard of Oz." Terry famously performed all her own stunts, setting the bar high for generations of dog actors and their ambitious trainers.

Although she broke her leg on set after an actor stepped on it, she was rewarded with a 2 week recuperation vacation at Judy Garland's home until she was ready to get back to hit the stage again.

In honor of her iconic role,Terry's name was officially changed to Toto in 1942. She acted in a total of 16 films until her death on September 1st, 1945.

Other nice facts about Terry:

• She earned $125 per week for acting in "Oz," the equivalent of $2200 per week today—more than some human actors in the film and most people in America right now.
• She was owned and trained by Carl Spitz.
• She was a mother to another dog actor, Rommy, who starred in 1942's "Reap the Wild Wind" and 1943's "Air Force."
