Hilda Vaughn (December 27, 1898- December 28, 1957), was a female actress of the stage, radio, and television.[1][2] [3][4]

Vaughn frequently played a “pleb”, or a commoner in the films she acted in. More often than not, she portrayed waitresses, maids, charwomen, governesses, saleswomen, and slaveys. Her characters were outgoing and spunky. A fixture at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the sound era of the early 1930s, Vaughn acted in multiple films. Her most notable films were 1933's "Dinner at Eight" and the 1940 film, Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum.
