Inger in Picture Show Annual

Picture Show was a weekly film fan magazine from the United Kingdom that ran from 1919 to 1960. In its final two years of publication, Inger was featured as a new face in the industry.

1959: "When Inger Stevens worked part time in a record shop during her college days and found that Bing Crosby discs were among the most popular, she little dreamed that she would make her film debut opposite him in Man on Fire. Her engagement for this picture came as a result of her success in television. The year before she had also made her first appearance on Broadway, having previously toured in a couple of days."


1960: "Beautiful Swedish-born Inger Stevens nearly didn't make her screen debut. She was stricken with appendicitis two days before shooting started, but luckily for her the company thought she was worth waiting for. A blue-eyed blonde, she is independent, self-sufficient and determined, admits to a weakness for clothes, takes most jewelry in moderation, but has a passion for pearls."
