Gloria's father was of British roots and bore the Scottish royal surname, but Gloria, starting her acting career, changed the spelling of Stewart to Stuart, believing that the second option would look better on posters.
After college, Stewart worked at the Pasadena Theater, and in 1932 signed a contract with Universal Studios. In the same year, she became one of thirteen girls on the WAMPAS Baby Stars list. Director James Weil immediately noticed the charming blonde, and she immediately became his favorite. Stewart starred in his films Old Dark House (1932), The Invisible Man (1933) and Kiss in Front of the Mirror (1933) .

In 1934, the actress married screenwriter Arthur Shikman. In 1935, their daughter Sylvia was born. During the Second World War, Stewart almost did not act in films. She got a job at the Decor Ltd. store, where she sold furniture, and in 1946 she even stated that she was tired of movies. She gave harsh refusals to all proposals for filming and in the end she was left alone. In 1954, while living in Rapallo on the Italian Riviera, she became interested in painting. The first display of her work took place at the prestigious Hammer Gallery in New York, and soon her works were already exhibited throughout Europe and the United States. In 1975, after a thirty-year hiatus, she resurrected her acting career by appearing in the television movie The Legend of Lizzie Borden, and over the next several years she regularly appeared in various television projects. Her comeback to the big screen was in 1982 in My Best Year starring Peter O'Toole.
