Stevens released at least half a dozen album, most on Liberty Records. The 1962 novelty album "(Not So) Great Songs (Which Were Left Out of) Great Movies (For Obvious Reasons)" includes tracks such as "Splendor in the Grass (or, Lawn Parties Can Be Fun)," "Frankenstein (in 3/4 Time)" and "Judgment at Nuremberg (or, A Hun and His Honeybun)."
Besides singing, Stevens also acted in film and television. She appeared in six movies, earning a Golden Globe nomination in 1964 for "The New Interns." She was a regular celebrity player on gameshows such as "Match Game," "Hollywood Squares," "Celebrity Sweepstakes," and "Password" and appeared as a regular on "Days of Our Lives" from 1974-79. She most recently appeared onscreen in the 1992 telepic "Miss America: Behind the Crowns."
