Early life

Stewart was born on August 20, 1979, in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California.[1] She is the second of Rod Stewart′s eight children and second of Alana Stewart′s three children. After graduating from Buckley school in Sherman Oaks, California, she spent several years studying acting with coaches Janet Alhanti and Ivana Chubbuck.[2][3] Stewart studied in London with theatre coaches Barbara Houseman (Central School of Speech and Drama/Royal Shakespeare Company coach) and Penny Dyer (Rada and Central School of Speech & Drama coach) and with singing coach Mark Meylan, who works with The Royal National Theatre.[2][3]

Career

Acting

Stewart has worked as an actress[4] and brand ambassador.[2] Stewart's American television work includes a leading role in Going to California, written by Scott Rosenberg and directed by Ted Demme,[2] and appearing in one episode of Judd Apatow's series, "Undeclared."[2] Stewart′s first film was James Toback′s, Black and White, which also starred Robert Downey, Jr., and Jared Leto.[2] In 2011 Stewart starred in the movie Homecoming, written and directed by Sean Hackett.[2]

She realized an early ambition, at age 19, when she launched her own fashion collection - “Pinky Starfish.”[2][6] Known for its dresses made from French vintage fabrics,[2] the range was sold in Tracey Ross, Lisa Kline and Barney’s.[2] She started her own clothing label, but it foundered because she couldn't get the supply chain to work.[8]
