Career Highlights
Her big break in show business came at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, when the headliner for the night, Debbie Reynolds, became ill and Stevens filled in for her. She then went on to do small shows in New York City at the Plaza Hotel's Persian Room and the Waldorf Astoria, and Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip. She went on tour with The Rat Pack, Johnny Carson, and Bob Hope.

Stevens played nurse Didi Loomis in The Interns (1962) and its 1964 sequel The New Interns. She also appeared in The Man From the Diners' Club (1963), which starred Danny Kaye. She was considered for the title role for the musical Funny Girl (Barbra Streisand) in the early 1960s. Stevens had a role in the television movie Let's Switch! (1975) and in 1983 appeared in the film Jaws 3-D.

In her role in Days of Our Lives, Stevens introduced a new song, "You Light Up My Life", to the television audience. It was a huge success, and soon after, Kaye decided that she had to write new songs and create an album: "I knew then that if I got the kind of response from one song, I had to do an album of inspirational, motivational, spiritual-pop music."

Stevens appeared in such television game shows as Match Game, Hollywood Squares, Celebrity Sweepstakes, The Price Is Right, Tattletales (Episode #2.28 on Oct. 21, 1974 appearing with then boyfriend Tom Lindstrom), and Password. She appeared as a guest star in many series, including CHiPs, Police Woman, and B.L. Stryker.
