Helen Page Camp (December 27, 1930^{[citation needed]} – August 1, 1991^[1]) was an American actress.

Born to Austin and Helen (née Landes) Camp in Washington, D.C., Camp's career began onstage, most notably Off Broadway in New York City.^{[citation needed]}

Her first known or credited screen appearance in film or television came in 1968, when she was 37 years old, as "Lucy" on Here Come the Brides.^{[citation needed]}

In 1971, she was in the movie Cold Turkey as Mrs. Watson.^{[citation needed]}

Later, she made guest appearances on popular shows such as The Wild Wild West, Maude (six different roles; most notably with James Coco as the swinging married couple "Channing and Hortence McGrath"), All in the Family, Cheers, Gimme a Break!, Thirtysomething and Newhart.^[2]

In early 1976, the characters of Laverne De Fazio (Penny Marshall) and Shirley Feeney (Cindy Williams) from Happy Days were spun off into an equally successful eponymous sitcom, Laverne & Shirley, and Camp was cast in two episodes as the girls' landlady, Mrs. Havenwurst, but the role was short-lived. In the fall of 1976, actress Betty Garrett permanently replaced her as Laverne and Shirley's new landlady, Mrs. Babish.
