“The original Martha Stewart left us yesterday,” the old Hollywood star's daughter Colleen Shelly tweeted.
Known for her roles in classic 1940s and ’50s Hollywood movies, Stewart made her film debut in the 1945 musical comedy "Doll Face." The following year she starred opposite Richard Crane in "Johnny Comes Flying Home" and June Haver in 1947’s "I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now." Her additional credits include the comedy "Are You With It?" opposite Donald O’Connor, 1952’s musical "Aaron Slick From Punkin Crick" and noir crime-drama "Convicted" with Glenn Ford and Broderick Crawford. Her final credit was 1964’s beach-themed musical comedy "Surf Party." Prior to her roles in film, Stewart was also a singer, who performed on NBC radio programs with bandleaders Glenn Miller, Harry James and Claude Thornhill. One performance at the prestigious Stork Club in Manhattan led to her discovery by a Hollywood talent scout.More Related News
