Elaine Stewart Movies
Ruby-lipped, brunette leading lady
Elaine Stewart worked as an usherette, cashier and model before entering films in 1951. Signed to an MGM contract, Stewart was hard to ignore in such roles as the sluttish Lila in
The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and the garrulous socialite Jane Ashton in
Brigadoon (1954). Usually consigned to secondary parts, she was afforded a leading role as a harem-togged princess in
The Adventures of Hajji Baba (1954). Out of films by 1965, Elaine Stewart later showed up as a blackjack dealer on the TV game shows
High Rollers (1975) and
Las Vegas Gambit (1980), both of which were co-produced by her husband, Merrill Heater. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
