Stella Stevens: The Last Starlet tells the story of Stella Stevens, one of Hollywood’s final true starlets who blossomed into a movie star and helped challenge and transform the male-dominated studio system of Old Hollywood. The film explores both her personal journey and professional career, which spanned from the final days of the classic studio era to the emergence of New Hollywood. During a time of sweeping social change, including the fight for women’s rights and human rights for all races and identities, Stella used her voice and platform as a dedicated advocate, leaving a lasting legacy on and off the screen.

“My mother, above all else, was a survivor,” said filmmaker Andrew Stevens. “After her passing, I felt compelled to explore and document her extraordinary, but often underrated career, from the perspectives of those who loved and admired her. Stella Stevens: The Last Starlet also sheds light on her personal struggles, which shaped the very outspoken and complex woman who was Stella Stevens.”
