Biography

Stevens was born in Eagle Rock, California.[2] She appeared in several Three Stooges films, such as He Cooked His Goose, Pardon My Backfire and Blunder Boys. Other credits include The Hoodlum, Without Warning!, Creature with the Atom Brain ‘’ The Harder They Fall’’ and The Wild One.

In 1955, Stevens sued a dress shop's owners for $36,500, saying that an attack from a "wild and vicious" ocelot disfigured her, which cost her a role in a film.[3]

Stevens married George Zika from the early 1940s[2] until his death in 1999. They had two children. Stevens died on March 17, 2016.
