Paula E. Sheppard

Paula Sheppard, who grew up in New Jersey, was discovered as a teenager by Alfred Sole while she was dancing in a local play. Sole cast the 19-year-old Sheppard as the young Alice Spages in his cult horror film *Alice, Sweet Alice* (1976). Years later, she appeared in her second and final film role as a drug dealer in Slava Tsukerman's science fiction film *Liquid Sky* (1982), which also gained a cult following over time. In the late 1980s, Sheppard left her acting career behind, moving to Seattle, Washington, where she married and had a daughter, pursuing a nurturing career path outside of the entertainment industry.
