Paul Stewart
Famous Character Actor. Paul Stewart Born March 13, 1908 in New York City, New York, USA Died February 17, 1986 in Los Angeles, California, USA (heart attack) Birth Name Paul Sternberg Height 5' 9" (1.75 m) Esteemed character actor Paul Stewart had a pair of the coldest orbs in town and made his living for decades playing dark, callous, shiftless villains, including a vast number of mobsters. Not a well-known name per se, he was nevertheless a reliable actor who seemed to have been born for the film noir and gangland crime drama genre with his premature silvery hair, dark thick brows, and probing, deep-set eyes, all accentuated by a tough and penetrating Brooklyn accent. Born in New York City on March 13, 1908, Stewart developed an interest for acting in his teens, making his Broadway debut with "Two Seconds" in 1931, following graduation from Columbia University. He had played a few more stage roles in New York when he met and made an impression on Orson Welles. As a result, he became a founding member of the Mercury Theatre and a founding member of AFTRA when it was just a radio union. Stewart's tough, guttural voice became a familiar sound on the 1930s airwaves and he was among the cast in the infamous Welles broadcast "The War of the Worlds." He married band singer/actress Peg La Centra (1910-1996) in 1939 and over the years they appeared together on many radio programs. She also provided singing voices for such stars as Susan Hayward on celluloid. Welles next put Stewart in his films, with the classic Citizen Kane (1941) as Raymond, Kane's wily valet, and Stewart found himself in demand as an untrustworthy character player. Paul went on to essay a number of stark, sinister types to perfection, with roles in such films as Johnny Eager (1941), Mr. Lucky (1943), Champion (1949), Illegal Entry (1949), Twelve O'Clock High (1949), Carbine Williams (1952), The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and Kiss Me Deadly (1955). On TV, Paul became a regular on a couple of short-lived series -- Top Secret (1954) and The Man Who Never Was (1966). In the 1950s Stewart turned to stage and TV directing as well, helming a number of popular crimers such as Peter Gunn (1958), Michael Shayne (1960), It Takes a Thief (1968), Hawaii Five-O (1968) and Remington Steele (1982). His voice also fit the bill for cartoons in the 1960s. In 1974 Stewart suffered a heart attack while on location in New Mexico for Bite the Bullet (1975), but he returned sporadically to films, including the role of impresario Florenz Ziegfeld in W.C. Fields and Me (1976). He suffered a second and fatal heart attack in 1986 at age 77. Family (2) Spouse Peg La Centra (14 January 1939 - 17 February 1986) (his death) Parents Maurice D. Sternberg, Nathalie C. Nathanson. He was an original member of Orson Welles's "Mercury Theatre Of The Air", which also included such actors as Joseph Cotten and Agnes Moorehead. He appeared in several films directed by Welles. Was a founding member of AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists). In the 1970s, Stewart had a "second career" as a voice actor, lending his dulcet, elegant vocal talents to many a TV commercial and occasionally narrating movie trailers.

You could never meet a woman who cared more for her family. Though I was young when she passed, I still remember the family holidays we all had at her home. I lived with my mother but spent the majority of my time, when not in school, at my grandmother's house. So, when it came down to time for holidays, I was always around to see everything get done. Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter; it didn't matter the holiday. If family could gather for it, we all did. Between my grandpa and her former husband she had seven children. Most of those children had children of their own. I was the youngest grandchild so I was always spoiled the most. I remember her always getting up before the sun rose on days where the family would come to start cooking and it all be done around 4pm or so. She made enough food to feed an army, which when all of us got together, we all resembled. These times were the happiest times of my childhood. Now at 21 I miss them dearly. RIP Grandma.

My GGF Fred David Stewart served in the Army in Europe during WWI in the 317th Infantry. We do not have a date, or any other information. Was hoping to discuss with other families who knew anyone from this unit from this war who might have info to exchange.
