Awards

Mary, who was inducted into the Soap Opera Hall of Fame in 1995, was the first daytime performer to be nominated
for an Emmy in 1962. The recipient of four Daytime Emmy nominations, she was awarded special lifetime
achievement recognition for her popular role as Joanne Tate on Search For Tomorrow. Last October, Procter &
Gamble Productions celebrated Stuart and her 50-year-contribution to daytime television.
"Guiding Light, Procter & Gamble Productions and the entire daytime world has lost a woman, an actress and a
friend who showed us how to do daytime with grace, class and humor for over 50 years," said Mary Alice
Dwyer-Dobbin, Executive-in-Charge of Procter & Gamble Productions

On September 3rd, 2001 Mary Stuart celebrated 50 years in daytime soap operas. Friends and co-stars came to help her celebrate.

Located in a majestic brownstone nestled in one of Manhattan's swankiest neighborhoods, the ultra-exclusive Lotos Club offers an atmosphere of both prestige and charm. The setting was perfect when Procter & Gamble Productions feted their very own Mary Stuart (Meta, Guiding Light) on her 50th anniversary in the world of soap operas. "We are here tonight to honor Mary Stuart and her memorable contribution to the daytime genre that brought us together," said PGP's executive in charge of production, Mary Dwyer-Dobbin. Surrounded by family, friends and co-stars, Stuart held court as colleagues paid tribute to her talents and offered a rousing round of applause as Dwayer-Dobbin presented the legendary actress with a long-overdue Emmy, a Lifetime Achievement Award. "To Mary," declared Dwyer-Dobbin, leading the crowd in a toast. "Her plucky, indomitable spirit pervades the roles she plays, both on-screen and off."

January 9, 1998 - Congratulations to Mary Stuart (Meta) who received the 1997 Award for Literacy Development in the New York City Public Schools today. It was given to her for her work as director of Book Pals, an organization she founded in 1992.
