Emily Stevens was born in New York, New York on February 27, 1882. Her father was Robert E. Stevens, a stage director and who later co-directed a film in 1919 called OUT OF THE FOG. Emily, herself, began her career as a stage actress and at the age of 33 appeared for the first on celluloid in the film CORA where she had the lead role. Later that year Emily played a dual role in THE HOUSE OF TEARS. Because of the fact she started at an older age, Emily's services were not in high demand by the movie executives or the movie public. Her final film was 1920's THE PLACE OF THE HONEYMOONS when she was 38. On January 2, 1928, Emily died of a heart attack, in the city of her birth. She was 46 years old.
