Virginia True Boardman (born Margaret Shields,[1][2][3][4] May 23, 1889 – June 10, 1971) was an American actress of the silent era.

Born in Fort Davis, Texas as Margaret Shields,[5] Boardman acted with the Streeter-Bryan company in 1908.

Although her career started off strong, like many actresses of the silent film era she failed to make a successful transition to talking films, and by the mid-1930s her career was at its end for all practical purposes.

[citation needed] On January 16, 1909, she married actor True Boardman,[7] and they remained wed until his death in 1918.

The couple performed together in stock theater companies and in vaudeville.
