Catherine Mary Stewart (born Catherine Mary Nursall; April 22, 1959) is a Canadian actress.
Stewart was born on April 22, 1959 in Edmonton, Alberta, the daughter of Mary (Stewart) and John Ralph Nursall. Her parents taught at the University of Alberta, her mother a physiology teaching assistant and her father a biology professor. Stewart attended Strathcona Composite High School.
Stewart began her career as a dancer and moved to London, England to study at age 18. There she landed a role in The Apple, a 1979 low-budget musical science fiction film that has achieved a small cult following in recent years.
After moving to Los Angeles she obtained a role on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, playing the original Kayla Brady from January 1982 to December 1983. In 1984, she starred in two science fiction feature films, The Last Starfighter as Maggie Gordon and in Night of the Comet as Regina Belmont. She later played a leading role in the teen comedy Mischief.
In the mid-1980s, Stewart appeared in two highly rated miniseries: Hollywood Wives (1985) and Sins (1986), where she played the younger version of Joan Collins's character. She made guest appearances on television series such as Knight Rider, Hotel, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Outer Limits. She starred in several made-for-TV movies such as Murder by the Book (1987), Passion and Paradise (1989), Perfect Harmony (1991) and Ordeal in the Arctic (1993). In 1989, she appeared as Gwen Saunders in the comedy film Weekend at Bernie's.
