Clara Bloodgood (née Sutton Stephens; August 28, 1868 – December 5, 1907) was an American socialite who became a successful Broadway stage actress.

[9] Clara Bloodgood's stage debut came in January 1898, at the Empire Theatre in New York playing a minor role in The Conquerors.

In 1905 at the Hudson Theatre in New York she played Violet Robinson in George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman, with Robert Loraine.

Reportedly her best friend in the acting profession was the actress and later screenwriter Zelda Sears, who appeared with her in her last play, The Truth.

[14] Anxiety over her career and losses she suffered in a failed business venture of her husband's may have played a factor in Bloodgood taking her own life.
