Occasionally billed as Anna Stewart, she went on to star in many of their films through 1917. Just before her contract with Vitagraph expired, Stewart signed a contract with Louis B. Mayer. This caused Vitagraph to launch a successful lawsuit to keep her on board. It is considered a landmark case. Stewart's popularity lasted until the early '30s. Following her retirement, she founded a production company and had Mayer work as her production executive. Stewart was the sister-in-law of director Ralph Ince; her brother, George Stewart, also acted in many silent films. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
