Paula Stewart (born April 9, 1929) is an American stage, film and television actress.

Life and career

Born as Dorothy Paula Zürndorfer, her father was Dr. Walter Zürndorfer and her mother, Esther Morris, was an actress. She attended Shimer College in Mount Carroll, Illinois, then a women's junior college, and graduated in 1947.[1] She continued her studies at Northwestern University, and later joined the national touring company of Brigadoon. She was next signed as understudy to Anne Crowley in a production of Seventeen on Broadway in June 1951.

She starred in the George White revue Nice to See You in 1953 at the Versailles Club, a dinner theatre. In September 1955, Stewart, a soprano, began a month-long engagement with Kismet at the Music circus in Lambertville, New Jersey. She has performed in over 35 musicals and plays on Broadway and in major Summer Stock productions around the country. She co-starred with Donald O'Connor in Little Me, Gordon MacRae and Howard Keel in Carousel, and Jack Carter in Operation Mad Ball, Born Yesterday and Critics Choice from 1956 to 1957. She succeeded Jo Sullivan in The Threepenny Opera, and was subsequently recruited by Frank Loesser to star in the revival of The Most Happy Fella in 1959.

In 1960, she was a featured player in the revue, From A to Z, starring Hermione Gingold. Later that year she appeared opposite Lucille Ball as her sister in the musical, Wildcat (1960) at the Alvin Theater.[2] In 1961 she co-starred with George Gobel in the musical Let It Ride at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. In 1965 she succeeded Bernice Massi in What Makes Sammy Run?.

Paula Stewart and Jack Carter performed together in theatres and nightclubs around the country and overseas for the USO in Germany. In New York City they performed at the prestigious #1 Fifth Avenue, The Versailles Club, The Empire Room at the Waldorf Astoria, The Starlight Room at The Americana Hotel; in Las Vegas at The El Rancho Vegas and The Flamingo; in Lake Tahoe at the Harrah’s Hotel; and The La Ronde Room at The Fountainbleu Hotel and The Deauville, both in Miami, Florida.
