Helen Jepson (November 28, 1904 – September 16, 1997) was an American lyric soprano noted for being a "stunning blond beauty" as well as for her voice. She was born in Titusville, Pennsylvania on November 28, 1904, (Two sources give her birthday as November 28, 1906.) and raised in Akron, Ohio, where she studied voice and performed in high school operatic productions. Her father operated a confectionery store in Akron. Her mother died when Helen was 13, an event that left her to care for her father and her sister, who was 3 at the time.
