Personal Life
In the early 1960s Stevens was romantically linked in news reports to actor Michael Dante, comedian Allan Drake, Paramount Pictures executive Gant Gaither, and cinema exhibitor Mert Shapiro. In April 1965 Stevens purchased a four-bedroom greystone house in the Coldwater Canyon district of Beverly Hills. In the late 1960s she had a romantic relationship with actor Skip Ward whom she called "my true love" in a 1970 interview. The two lived together in Stevens' Beverly Hills home.
In late 1976 Stevens purchased a ranch in Methow Valley near Carlton, Washington, on the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountains. She also opened an art gallery and bakery in the nearby small town of Twisp, Washington. She sold her ranch in 1988.
In 1983 Stevens began a long-term relationship with rock guitarist Bob Kulick; they share Stevens' Beverly Hills home. In 2005 Stevens was awarded the Reel Cowboys Sliver Spur Award for her notable contribution to the Western genre.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Perspective, as its inventor remarked, is a beautiful thing. What horrors of damp huts, where human beings languish, may not become picturesque through aerial distance! What hymning of cancerous vices may we not languish over as sublimest art in the safe remoteness of a strange language and artificial phrase! Yet we keep a repugnance to rheumatism and other painful effects when presented in our personal experience.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“One of the lies would make it out that nothing
Ever presents itself before us twice.
Where would we be at last if that were so?
Our very life depends on everything’s
Recurring till we answer from within.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
