Mark Stevens (December 13, 1916 – September 15, 1994) was an American movie actor of the 1940s and 1950s.
He was born Richard Stevens in Cleveland, Ohio.
After studying to become a painter, Ohioan Mark Stevens became active in theater work. He then launched a radio career as an announcer in Akron, Ohio.
Moving to Hollywood, he became a Warner Brothers contract actor at $100 a week in 1943. They changed his looks and his stage name. They darkened and straightened his curly ginger-colored hair and covered his freckles. At first he was billed as Stephen Richards, but it was later changed again to Mark Stevens at the suggestion of Darryl Zanuck when he moved to 20th Century Fox.
Stevens emerged as a film noir leading man in such films as Within These Walls (1945) and The Dark Corner (1946), the latter pairing him up with Lucille Ball. He received one of what many critics consider his best role, as an FBI man going undercover to arrest a gangster played by Richard Widmark in The Street with No Name (1948). He appeared as Olivia de Havilland's loyal husband in The Snake Pit. Stevens also appeared in musicals including I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now? (1947) and Oh, You Beautiful Doll (1949).
In the 1950s Stevens was also a television star, producer and writer. He worked in semi-retirement in the 1960s in Europe. In the 80's he appeared in television shows Magnum, P.I. and Murder, She Wrote.
He died in Majores, Spain, aged 77.
Stevens has a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, located at 6637 Hollywood Blvd.
Mark Stevens was born on October 29, 1971. He grew up and educated in Hobart, Tasmania, where he attended Cosgrove High School. At the age of 13, he became a member of Young Talent Time in 1985 starring alongside Dannii Minogue. He appeared in the Australian TV soap Neighbours as teenage artist Nick Page, from 1988-1990.
Mark Stevens is now a Christian singer, song-writer and worship leader. Originally from the Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia, Stevens moved to the Abundant Life Church in Bradford, England.
Mark Stevens (born 25 October 1975) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Stevens debuted at the North Melbourne Football Club in 1995 and his preferred position was centre half-forward. Stevens struggled with the pace of AFL football in his early years at the Kangaroos. That, combined with the fact that the Kangaroos had Wayne Carey, arguably one of the finest players of all time, at centre half-forward, meant that Stevens struggled to cement a place in the side. He was traded to the Adelaide Football Club at the end of 1997 (for Jason McCartney).
Steven's first year at the Crows saw him play in a Premiership side, defeating his former team mates at North Melbourne at the MCG. Over his career with Adelaide, Stevens improved and became a damaging player, consistently taking strong marks on the half-forward line for the Crows. His career came to an end early in the 2005 season, when injury finally took its toll on Stevens, forcing his retirement.
