Stewart worked in vaudeville before she began acting in films. Her early film work was in comedies for Vitagraph. Most of her roles were second leads, and her success dwindled in the 1920s. She "lived the remainder of her life in obscurity" after her 1925 divorce.[2]

She was the elder sister of actress Anita Stewart.[3] She was married to the actor and director Ralph Ince from 1910 to 1925 when they divorced.

Stewart's "debut as a leading player" in a film came in The Destroyers (1916).[4]
