Iva Shepard

Iva Shepard (April 23, 1886, Cincinnati, Ohio – January 26, 1973, Arcadia, California) was an American silent film actress. Her most notable film roles were in The Romance of an Actor (1914) and as Zoe Trevor in The Haunted Manor (1916) and as Nettie Lea in The Isle of Love (1916). Late in her career, she made guest appearances in two 1955 episodes of the hit TV show I Love Lucy: "Nursery School" and "Don Juan and the Starlets", as a nurse and maid, respectively. These two roles provided fans who remembered her a chance to hear her voice for what may have been the first time, since she did not appear in films after 1918.
