Ethelreda Leopold (July 2, 1914 – January 26, 1998) was an American film actress. She appeared credited in approximately 65 films between 1934 and 1972. She also appeared in commercials.[1]

Leopold is familiar to modern viewers for her roles in several Three Stooges, Andy Hardy, and Abbott and Costello films. She also had bit parts in such American classics as Angels Over Broadway and Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator,[2] and also supported other celebrated film comedians such as Harold Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy.

Many of her film roles were small or uncredited. She appeared at the 1990 Three Stooges convention.[3]
