The spectrum of the dwarf Seyfert 1 nucleus in NGC 4395 was first reported about a decade ago (Filippenko & Sargent 1989), showing high ionization narrow emission lines and broad permitted lines. The later detection of radio and X-ray compact nuclear sources and of a featureless UV continuum gave support to the idea that NGC 4395 is a genuine low luminosity AGN (Sramek 1992; Filippenko, Ho & Sargent 1993). However, it has been claimed that, unlike classic Seyferts, NGC 4395 does not vary at all (Shields & Filippenko 1992).
