On stage
Inger Stevens' career also includes a number of stage appearances on Broadway, where she played a few parts. In fact, her only long-running role on stage was in Mary Mary, when she replaced Barbara Bel Geddes in the winter of 62/63.
The other plays all had only very short runs and closed quickly.

Inger replaced Barbara Bel Geddes for a short period (Dec 24,1962 to Jan
21,1963) It was her biggest triumph on stage. The play also was a hit on
Broadway.
There is also mention to two plays, in the beggining of her career: PicNic
and Oh Men ! Oh Women!, which I could not find detailed cast lists.
