LOS ANGELES — Stella Stevens, the 1960s Hollywood starlet known for starring in "The Nutty Professor" with Jerry Lewis and opposite Elvis Presley in "Girls! Girls! Girls!," has died. She was 84.
The "The Poseidon Adventure" actor died Friday in Los Angeles after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Stevens' son, actor-producer-director Andrew Stevens, confirmed his mother's death and told the L.A. Times that Stevens had been in hospice "for quite some time with stage seven Alzheimer's."
