K. T. Stevens

K. T. Stevens (July 20, 1919 – June 13, 1994), born Gloria Wood in Los Angeles, California, was an American film actress.

The daughter of director Sam Wood, Stevens made her first film appearance when she was just two years old in her father's second 1921 silent film, Peck's Bad Boy. As an adult, she changed her name to distance herself from her father's fame. In 1946, Stevens married actor Hugh Marlowe. They divorced in 1968; the couple were the parents of two sons. Stevens and Marlowe acted in the Broadway production of "Laura" in which, credited as "A Girl" so as not to alert the audience, she played the part filmed by Gene Tierney. Marlowe was cast as the detective that Dana Andrews played in the film.

Stevens appeared in a number of films in the 1940s and 1950s, including The Great Man's Lady (1942) with Barbara Stanwyck, Address Unknown (1944), Port of New York (1949) with Yul Brynner, and Harriet Craig (1950) with Joan Crawford. In addition, she acted on episodic television in such series as Crossroads, The Rebel, The Brothers Brannagan, and appeared on the daytime soap operas General Hospital as part of the original cast (1963-1965), portraying Peggy Mercer who was engaged to Dr. Steve Hardy, Julie Olson's mother-in-law Helen Martin (1966-1967, 1969) on Days of Our Lives and most memorably, The Young and the Restless (1977-1981) as the veiled facially burned Vanessa Prentiss who plotted against Lorie Brooks to keep her from marrying her son, Lance, then plotted to have Lorie accused of her murder after she committed suicide. Another memorable appearance was in the episode "New Neighbors" of the CBS sitcom, I Love Lucy, in which she played opposite Hayden Rorke as television actors who Lucy Ricardo mistakenly believes are foreign secret agents.
