Hedda Nova
May 15, 1899 — Odessa, Russian Empire [now Ukraine]
Hedda Nova (1899–1981) was a Russian-born American film actress.
She was a silent film actress for 17 years with the "Universal Film Studios Company". She did not transfer to talking films most probably because of her thick Russian accent.
