TV Radio Mirror - April 1955

From TV Radio Mirror in April 1955:

Last November, with a TV experience of only two minor roles, Inger Stevens stepped into her first major acting assignment on the Goodyear Playhouse. Overnight, she was hailed as "an exciting new actress" and was deluged with handsome TV offers. Since then, she has starred successfully in such leading dramatic shows as Armstrong Circle Theater, Danger, Kraft TV Theater and Robert Montgomery Presents. Only 20 years old, Inger was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and came to this country when she was 9. During her childhood, she traveled all over the world with her father, who is head of Adult Education at Texas Technological College. While studying at Kansas State University, Inger tested her acting wings in little-theater work. Then last July, right after graduation, she came to New York to launch her career. During the summer she toured New England in stock roles, with Signe Hasso and Gypsy Rose Lee. In August, she returned to New York to make her TV debut—a bit part in a Studio One production. Next came a small role on the Jamie series, then her star-making part of Goodyear Playhouse. A warm, sincere and lovable person, Inger is completely wrapped up in her work. She has an apartment in New York, and someday, she says, she would like to get married and raise a family, but, at the present, her whole life is acting—the more she can do, the happier she is.
