Hedda Hopper, nascuda Elda Furry (Hollidaysburg, 2 de maig de 1885 - Hollywood, 1 de febrer de 1966), va ser una actriu i periodista nord-americana, rival periodística de Louella Parsons. Hopper va començar a actuar al cinema mut el 1915. El seu debut va ser amb el film Battle of Hearts (1916). Va treballar en més de 120 títols en els següents 23 anys, usualment interpretant a distingides dames de l'alta societat. Quan la seva carrera cinematogràfica va declinar a mitjan dècada de 1930, Hopper va buscar altres fonts d'ingressos. L'any 1937 va rebre una oferta per redactar una columna periodística de crònica de societat.

Hedda Hopper (May 2, 1885 – February 1, 1966) was an American actress and gossip columnist, notorious for feuding with her arch-rival Louella Parsons. She had been a moderately successful actress of stage and screen for years before being offered the chance to write the column Hedda Hopper's Hollywood for the Los Angeles Times in 1938. At the height of her power in the 1940s she commanded a 35 million strong readership. She was well known for her political conservatism, and during the McCarthy era she named suspected communists. Hopper continued to write gossip until the end, her work appearing in many magazines and later on radio.
