Alexis SmithAlexis Smith (June 8, 1921 – June 9, 1993) was an actress. Born Gladys Smith in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada, she was signed to a contract by Warner Brothers Studios when seen appearing in a play.

During the forties she appeared opposite some of the most popular male stars such as Errol Flynn in San Antonio (1945), Humphrey Bogart in The Two Mrs. Carrolls (1947), and Cary Grant in Night and Day (1946). Some of her other films include Rhapsody In Blue (1945), Of Human Bondage (1946), The Two Mrs. Carrolls, (1946) and The Young Philadelphians'' (1959). In her later years she concentrated mainly on stage and television appearances. In 1972 she won a Tony Award for "Best Actress in a Musical" for her role in Follies, and was nominated for an Emmy Award for a guest appearance in the sitcom Cheers in 1990. She was married to the actor Craig Stevens from 1944 until her death in Los Angeles, California from brain cancer. Her final film, The Age of Innocence (1993) was released shortly after her death.
