- Birth nameStephanie Imelda Mary Lawrence
- Best known for her work on stage, Stephanie Lawrence was one of West End's stars. She played Marilyn Monroe in the musical, "Marilyn the Legend", and was the title role in "Evita", after Elaine Paige and Marti Webb. She is perhaps the best-loved "Pearl" in the recordings of "Starlight Express", the role she originated in 1984. However, most of her fame comes from her performance of "Mrs. Johnson" in the London revival of "Blood Brothers", for which she went to Broadway and received a Tony nomination in 1993. She died in November 2000, a few months after she had been married.- IMDb Mini Biography By: nuingiliath
- SpouseLaurie Sautereau(September 2000 - November 4, 2000) (her death)
- Was nominated for Broadway's 1993 Tony Award as Best Actress (Musical) for "Blood Brothers."
- Her only solo album ("Footlights") was a collection of Andrew Lloyd Webber songs.
- She once said that she'd never get married, as her career came before total commitment.
- The funniest audition I ever had was when I had to audition for Andrew Lloyd Webber, tap-dancing on skates while singing "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina". Why? Because he wanted to see if I could.
- Whenever I sing her songs, I feel Marilyn is watching me. Somehow, I sense she approves of what I am doing.
