Claudette Nevins (born Claudette Weintraub on April 10, 1937) is an American stage, film and television actress.
Claudette Nevins was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. She is a daughter of merchant Joseph Weintraub and garment worker Anna Lander, both of whom emigrated to America from small towns in Austria. Nevins is a graduate of the School of Performing Arts and a 1957 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of New York University with a degree in English.
Nevins' first stage work in New York was on Broadway in The Wall (Millard Lampell's adaptation of John Hersey's novel about the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto) with George C. Scott. Subsequent NY stage appearances include Plaza Suite (Broadway) with George C. Scott and Maureen Stapleton, Danton's Death (Lincoln Center), and In White America (off-Broadway) with Gloria Foster and Moses Gunn.
The National Company of The Great White Hope, in which she starred with Brock Peters, brought her to Los Angeles, after which she began working in television. For two and a half years she was seen in the long-running daytime soap opera Love of Life playing Laurie Krakauer. As a series regular, she was seen in Headmaster (opposite Andy Griffith), Husbands, Wives, and Lovers, and Married: the First Year (a David Jacobs project). Her guest star appearances include Beverly Hills 90210, Barnaby Jones, Melrose Place, JAG, Three's Company, Lou Grant, Without a Trace, M*A*S*H, and many others.
