Stowe is married to actor Brian Benben, with whom she acted in a TV film in 1981. While driving through Wyoming, they were involved in an automobile accident that claimed both their lives. In 1998 she came back and acted in The Proposition, her first film after this interruption . After filming of the Presley movie finished, she and her second husband, Greg Lafayette, took a vacation. Stowe left in 1996 her work for a few years in order to concentrate on motherhood. Offered an opportunity in Hollywood, Judy Tyler appeared in the film Bop Girl Goes Calypso then starred opposite Elvis Presley in Jailhouse Rock.

She was a touching blind musician in the thriller Blink, co-starring Aidan Quinn, and a sympathetic psychiatrist in the science-fiction movie Twelve Monkeys. Like her mother, she became a chorus line dancer but then went on to a major role in the 1955 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, "Pipe Dream." Life magazine did a story on rising Broadway talent with Tyler on the magazine's cover as one of the up-and-coming stars. Director Robert Altman encouraged Stowe to play a part in Short Cuts, in which she gave one of her best screen performances. Her acting career began as a teenager with appearances on the "Howdy Doody" television show, as Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring. Thereafter, several roles in major films followed. Born Judith Mae Hess, she came from a show business family and was encouraged to study dance and acting. In 1992 Stowe finally had her big chance when she was offered a leading role in The Last of the Mohicans, together with Daniel Day-Lewis. Judy Tyler, born October 9, 1933 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States – died July 4, 1957 near Laramie, Wyoming, was an actress.

A few of her interpretations of this period became however well-known to the public, as it was the case of Stakeout, in 1987, opposite Richard Dreyfuss, and Revenge, in 1990, co-starring Kevin Costner. Stowe performed during nearly fifteen years mostly in minor roles as supporting actress in TV films and cinema movies. Not too interested in her classes, Stowe volunteered doing performances at the Solaris, a Beverly Hills theater, where a movie agent saw her in a play, and got her offers for several appearances in TV films and cinema movies. She then studied cinema and journalism at Southern California University.

When she was 10, Stowe began taking piano lessons with the aim to become a concert pianist, but she gave up when her instructor died some years later. Her father suffered from multiple sclerosis, which threw a shadow of sadness over her childhood. Her father was North American and her mother had immigrated from Costa Rica when she was a young woman. She was born in Eagle Rock, a community next to Los Angeles, California, as the eldest of three sisters.
