Marianne Stewart (born Annemarie Schünzel; 16 January 1922 – 1 November 1992) was a German-born American stage, film and television actress.
Early life
[edit]Stewart was born Annemarie Schünzel in Berlin, Germany on January 16, 1922 to Hanne Brinkmann and Reinhold Schünzel. In 1937, she and her father emigrated to the United States,[1] where she attended Beverly Hills High School, graduating in 1940.[10]
Career
[edit]On November 1, 1940, Stewart made her uncredited screen debut in MGM's Escape,[3] her first credited appearance coming 2 years later in Valley of Hunted Men.
Stewart's Broadway debut came on October 23, 1944, when she replaced Annabella in Elia Kazan's production of Jacobowsky and the Colonel, opposite Oscar Karlweis and Louis Calhern.[11] The following fall, Kazan cast Stewart, along with Edmund Gwenn and Montgomery Clift, in his staging of You Touched Me, Tennessee Williams' and Donald Windham's adaptation of the same-named D.H. Lawrence short story.[12]
In 1946 Stewart was a member of the Summer stock cast at Elitch Theatre, the oldest Summer stock theater.
Stewart was married to her erstwhile leading man, Louis Calhern, from 1946 to 1955, and later to Wilbur George Dirksing until her death.[9][2] Stewart died of cancer on May 10, 1992, in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 70.[2]

Notes
[edit]- ^ A likely explanation for Schünzel's pre-Stewart metamorphosis from Loring to Sheldon was the sudden and unexpected reemergence, less than 2 weeks prior to Escape's release, of an MGM alumnus of relatively recent vintage likewise named Ann Loring. This was due to the latter's much-publicized marriage to actor Herbert Rudley.[7]
