Paula E. Sheppard

While a teenager, New Jersey-raised Paula Sheppard was discovered by 'Alfred Sole' (qv) while she was performing as a dancer in a local play. Sole cast the then-19-year-old as the adolescent Alice Spages in his cult horror film, _Alice, Sweet Alice (1976)_ (qv). Several years later, she made her second and final film appearance playing a drug dealer in 'Slava Tsukerman' (qv)'s science fiction film _Liquid Sky (1982)_ (qv), which also would develop a cult following in later years. Sheppard abandoned her acting career in the late 1980s and relocated to Seattle, Washington, where she married her husband and had a daughter, adopting a "nurturing career" outside of acting.::Scott
