Trivia

One of the highlights of Stewart's career was when she was "so honored to work with the wonderful James Garner in "My Fellow Americans": the producers not being able to decide at callbacks between me and Neva Howell, but we had become friends as we waited at casting and rode to and from the Biltmore Estate set with Location Casting Director, the dear Shirley Crumley, so by the time we headed back to the casting trailer to go on tape "one more time", we bemoaned the fact that only one of us would be able to do it and wished we could share the experience together. One of us said "it's too bad they can't cast both of us" and Shirley, in her infinite wisdom and thinking outside the box said, "why don't the two of you do the scene together once after you've done it again individually, just for fun, to show them something different?". She asked in the moment if we needed to rehearse it -- we looked at each other with gleams in our eyes and said, "Nah" and then jumped right in. She and the camera assistant couldn't stop laughing. The next thing we knew, the writers in LA had changed the scene to use both of us. When we got to set, Director Peter Segal and Producer Jon Peters came to us with congratulations, saying "we've never turned one character into two based on the quality of the auditions!". We hung out all day with Jack Lemmon, his poodle Chloe and James and when we first did our scene, James said, laughing, "you ladies should take that act on the road!" and Jack said, "you're the funniest gals I've seen since the Pigeon Sisters in the Odd Couple!" and that meant a lot coming from him!".

Mother of Tendal Mann and Royce Mann.

Also a Director, member of AWD and Film Fatales (ATL). Films include Incensed, Heart Land, White Boy Privilege, and Painted Sun.

When Sheri Lyn Stewart married Barry Paul Mann in 1995, each dropped their middle names and took the other's last name as their middle. Since their marriage ended in 2021, Sheri is keeping her middle name as Mann to coordinate with their sons, actors Tendal Mann and Royce Mann.

In 1985, she appeared as a contestant on the game show, The $25,000 Pyramid (1982), ultimately becoming a 5 Day Champion with winnings of $13,200. During her first time at the Pyramid, after reaching the final/top with 20 seconds left and guessing correctly with a single clue for each of the other 5 squares, she was made ineligible for the $10,000 when her celebrity contestant began with an illegal clue. This also made her ineligible for the $25,000 when she won a 2nd turn at the Pyramid.

For a number of years, in the 1980's and 1990's, Stewart was linked with Broadway and Film actor Jarlath Conroy. The two originally met on stage in a production of Stephen D. in Washington, D.C., with Conroy playing Stephen Dedalus (James Joyce's literary alter ego) and Stewart playing The Epiphany (aka Girl on the Shore).

Sheri is (2024) writing a Feature Film screenplay, with mentors at Ela Thier's IFS, Independent Film School. She is also (2024) writing a non-fiction book with support from Connie May Fowler's InkBlossom Community.
