Nita Talbot (born August 8, 1930) is an American actress. Talbot is a durable leading lady who spent the first decade or so of her career playing "slick chicks" and sharp-witted career girls, but is perhaps best known for her role as the White Russian spy in the 1960s sitcom, Hogan's Heroes, as well as Sheila Fine in the sitcom, Soap. Talbot received an Emmy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the 1967–1968 season of Hogan's Heroes.
