She graduated from Brearley School in Manhattan. Stevenson was about to enroll at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, when the Great Depression began.

She also acted in a West End production of The Seven Year Itch in London in the 1950s in addition to performing frequently in summer stock theatre and regional theater in the United States.
In addition to her work on The Shadow, Stevenson acted on Aunt Jenny's Real Life Stories on old-time radio. She also acted on television and for more than a decade did TV commercials.
Her second husband, Val Avery, whom she married in 1953, died on December 12, 2009 at age eighty-five.
By the late 1990s, Stevenson was blind as a result of macular degeneration.
She died at her home in Manhattan on January 2, 2011 at age 98. Her ashes were given to her daughter, actress Margot Avery.
