Anita Stewart (born Anna Marie Stewart; February 7, 1895 – May 4, 1961) was an American actress and film producer of the early silent film era.
Stewart began her acting career in 1911 at the age of 16 while still attending Erasmus Hall High School Stewart’s brother-in-law, director Ralph Ince at Vitagraph film studios, married to Lucille Lee, arranged for the teen-aged Stuart to appear as a juvenile extra at their New York City studio location.
Stewart was one of the earliest film actresses to achieve public recognition in the nascent medium of motion pictures and achieved a great deal of acclaim early in her acting career. Within a year of joining Vitagraph, Stewart was playing lead roles, notably as the child-like Olympia in The Wood Violet (1912).
When Vitagraph publicity personnel accidentally published Stewart’s name as “Anita Stewart” rather the hitherto “Anna M. Stewart”, and she adopted it as her professional name.By 1914, with the release of the melodramatic romance A Million Bid (1914) , in which she played the long-suffering Agnes Belgradin, Stewart was elevated to a veritable screen icon.
For her contribution to motion picture industry as an actress, Anita Stewart was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6724 Hollywood Boulevard.
