'''Ida Waterman''' (born '''Ida Shaw'''; March 10, 1852 – May 22, 1941)[[https://books.google.com/books?id=7-DgDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA791 ''Resting Places:The Burial Sites of More Than 14,000 Famous Persons'' by Scott Wilson; Foreword by Gregory William Mank, pages 791–792 c.2016] Retrieved September 1, 2016] was a stage and screen actress.
Waterman was born in [Philadelphia, Pennsylvania](/source/Philadelphia%2C_Pennsylvania). She appeared in some thirty or more Broadway productions between the late 1880s and early 1920s.[{{cite web|url=http://asp6new.alexanderstreet.com/atho/atho.detail.people.aspx?personcode=per0144925 |title=Ida Waterman: ''North American Theatre Online'' |publisher=Asp6new.alexanderstreet.com |date= |access-date=2013-09-19}}] She played Elise Claremont in the 1889 farce-comedy ''[Our Flat](/source/Our_Flat)'' and the following year Mrs. Kirke in ''[Men and Women](/source/Men_and_Women_(play))'' opposite [Maude Adams](/source/Maude_Adams).
