Venetia Stevenson Cause of Death

Venetia Stevenson died on 26 September 2022, at a health care facility in Atlanta from Parkinson’s disease.

She was an English-American film and television actress.

On 13 March 1957, Stevenson was cast in CBS’s Playhouse 90 adaptation of Charley’s Aunt, with Tom Tryon, Jackie Coogan, and Jeanette MacDonald.

Stevenson married MGM actor-dancer Russ Tamblyn on Valentine’s Day, 1956.

Stevenson remarried, Don Everly, in 1962 and retired from acting and modeling. She had often complained about how much she hated acting.

The couple had two daughters, Stacy and Erin Everly, both model/actresses, and a son, Edan Everly, a musician. She divorced Don Everly in 1970 and never remarried.

Despite not having a starring role in a film before 1958, Stevenson was incredibly popular in fan magazines.

She was labeled “the most photogenic girl in the world” and went on rounds of dates; however, most of the men she went out with were only friends to her.

In his 2005 autobiography, Tab Hunter Confidential: The Making of a Movie Star, Tab Hunter, with whom she frequently dated, admitted that she was a large part of his and his then-boyfriend, Anthony Perkins’s, social life, “acting as a ‘beard’ when we double-dated.”

Stevenson died at age 84 in Atlanta, United States.
