Acting career edit

Nick Stewart was born on March 15, 1910, in Harlem, New York City, to Joseph (March 15, 1888 – July 1976) and Eva Stewart, who were recent immigrants from Barbados, British West Indies.[3][4] He began his show business career as a dancer at the Cotton Club and Hoofers Club.[5][6] Stewart also was a veteran of Broadway shows, having created a comedic character he called "Nicodemus" and playing that role in Swingin' the Dream and Louisiana Purchase, as well as in the film Go West, Young Man.[7][8][9] Stewart also performed comedy as a cast member of the Rudy Vallée radio show in 1941.[10] Other acting credits include the 1936 movie Go West Young Man, the voice of Br'er Bear in the 1946 Disney movie Song of the South[11][12] and Willy-Willy on the television series Ramar of the Jungle.[13][14] Also in 1954, Stewart had an important role in The Reign of Amelika Joe presented by Fireside Theatre.[15][16] He also won a comedy role in White Christmas (1954).[14][17]

He was originally offered the role of Calhoun the lawyer, which he turned down. (After his refusal, it went to Johnny Lee, who had the role on radio since 1949.)[18] Soon Gosden and Correll were back on the telephone, this time offering Stewart the role of Lightnin' on the television show.[19] Stewart accepted the role with one idea in mind: to make enough money to be able to open his own theater where African Americans would not be typecast as maids and porters.[7][20][21] In the 1960s, he would have small roles on Mister Ed and in the classic comedy film, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) as the Migrant Truck Driver who is forced off of the road.[22] In 1987, Doris McMillon devoted an entire week of her nightly talk show, On the Line with, to a discussion of the documentary Amos 'n' Andy: Anatomy of a Controversy, and the issues surrounding the shows. Stewart was one of the participants, discussing the show and his role in it.[23] He also had a role in the movie Carmen Jones.

Stewart's final acting role would be returning to Disney to reprise the voice role Br'er Bear for the theme park attraction Splash Mountain,[24] which is based on the animated segments of Song of the South. He was the only actor to return and voice his character from the aforementioned movie.[25] In an interview with author Jim Korkis, he was asked about whether or not his role of Br'er Bear was degrading. He replied, "Disney treated us like Kings."[26] He went on to say that the money he earned from Song of the South was donated to a theatre for African-American actors to play roles other than maids and butlers and was doing the same with the money from reprising his role for the Disneyland attraction.[27]

Ebony Showcase Theatre edit

He and his wife, Edna Stewart, also founded Los Angeles's Ebony Showcase Theatre,[28] which provided a venue for numerous performers of all races, including Al Freeman Jr., Yuki Shimoda, William Schallert, Tom Ewell, John Amos, Nichelle Nichols, Isabel Sanford, B. B. King, Phil Collins, Eartha Kitt, Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan.[29][30]

Founded in 1950,[28] and first located on Washington Boulevard and Western Avenue, then on Crenshaw Boulevard, afterward on Adams Boulevard and later on Washington Boulevard in Los Angeles, Stewart filled the seats with quality productions.[14][13] The couple did all remodeling of the building themselves, with the help of salvaged lumber from the CBS Television City construction site.[4][19] Stewart hosted a variety show called Ebony Showcase Presents on KTTV from the theatre in 1953.[31][32] Because CBS believed Nick Stewart's work with his theater was impairing his ability to perform on Amos 'n' Andy, he was notified that his contract would not be renewed; this was shortly before the decision to take the show off the air.[4] By 1964, the Ebony Showcase had grown and moved again, this time to the Metro Theater near Washington and La Brea. Around this time, Nick Stewart wrote his own musical called Carnival Island.[8] In 1973, Nick and Edna Stewart were honored by Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley and the California Museum of Science and Industry's advisory board for their work with the Ebony Showcase theatre.[21] During his years in vaudeville, Stewart and Milton Berle often worked together; Berle was a frequent visitor to the Ebony Showcase.[30]

Although the Stewarts lost title to the theatre complex in 1992, they were allowed to stay there and operate the theater.[33] and the buildings were later demolished.[11][34] The couple used two homes they owned as collateral for a loan meant to save the theatre; both were lost.[35] One of the issues which led to the theatre's financial problems was a Los Angeles law requiring all older brick buildings to meet current earthquake standards.[19][36] The entire complex that had housed the Ebony Showcase organization, including a house not shown in the picture, was taken in eminent domain by the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency.[37][38] The theater edifice was demolished in 1998, the rest of the complex was demolished, building-by-building.[37]

Stewart was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Beverly Hills/Hollywood NAACP.[5] He also received the Living Legend award from the National Black Theatre Festival in 1995.[39]

Death and legacy edit

Stewart died of natural causes at his son's home in Los Angeles, California, on December 18, 2000, at age 90, a week after attending the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Performing Arts Center named for Los Angeles politician Nate Holden which was built on the site where the Ebony Showcase stood.[37][11][40] The Ebony Showcase transformed, adapted, and did not close. Instead, the Ebony Showcase continues to provide entertainment, resources, and charitable services on the internet and in the community. [41]
