biography

Andrew Stevens Born Herman Andrew Stephens in Memphis, Tennessee, on June 10, 1955, actor Andrew Stevens is the son of actress Stella Stevens. Early in life, he was the subject of a bitter custody battle between his mother and father, and as a result grew up in both Los Angeles with his mother and Memphis with his father and grandparents. He moved to Los Angeles permanently after graduating from high school in 1973 to break into acting. His first role came in a December 1973 episode of Adam-12, and by the mid 1970s he found roles in such diverse films as Shampoo (1975; with Warren Beatty and Julie Christie), Las Vegas Lady (1975; with Stella Stevens and Stuart Whitman), and Massacre at Central High (1976; with Robert Carradine). He worked steadily throughout the late 1970s and was nominated for a Golden Globe award for his performance in The Boys in Company C (1978). Making headlines was his marriage to actress Kate Jackson after a six-week courtship in August 1978, but the marriage was dissolved in 1981.

As his career advanced, Stevens found quite a bit of work in several 1980s television series, including Code Red, Dallas, and Emerald Point N.A.S. and made another big splash in the film The Seduction (1982; with Morgan Fairchild), in which he played a homicidal stalker. In the early 1990s, he began starring in a string of low budget, sexually charged thrillers, such as Night Eyes (1990; with Tanya Roberts), Double Threat (1993; with Sally Kirkland), and Deadly Rivals (1993; with Richard Roundtree and Margaux Hemingway).
