Samantha Gayle Stewart was born in Myrtle Beach, SC, but moved to the Nashville, TN area as a baby, where she was raised. While her family was decidedly more athletic, Samantha always gravitated towards the Arts, fighting for solos in her church choir, and dragging her Mom to community theatre auditions, where it became clear she was made for the spotlight. In Nashville, she appeared in numerous regional and school plays and musicals, local TV gigs, and, due to her tall and lanky frame, a lucrative modeling career, especially on the runway. Smart and driven, Samantha was in the top of her graduating class, and had her choice between numerous NYC and LA schools she applied to. Choosing Pepperdine University, she left at age 17 to pursue her dreams in sunny California. After graduating with a Theatre Arts Degree in only 2 1/2 years, she has been working steadily ever since in the industry she loves. She has appeared in numerous films, commercials, and print ads, and can be seen on all 4 of the current running Soap Operas. Samantha owns a home in Tarzana, CA, where she resides with her rescued dog, Ollie.
