Helen Stuart Marcovicci (January 10, 1919 – August 16, 2016) was an American cabaret and torch singer.

Stuart appeared at New York City venues including the Maisonette Room, the La Vie Parisienne, and the Glass Hat[1][2] (where Martin and Lewis met)[3][4] during the heyday of her career in the 1940s.[2][5] In the later 20th and 21st centuries, she appeared in stage shows with her daughter, cabaret star Andrea Marcovicci,[6] at venues including the Oak Room in New York City.[7]

Stuart came to New York as an au pair from Pennsylvania. A beauty,[2][7] she was Miss Television at the 1939 New York World's Fair, after which she began appearing as a singer.[2] Stuart married Transylvania-born, Vienna-educated physician Eugen (later Eugene) Marcovicci, who was about 34 years her senior,[5] having been born in 1885.[8] After that she changed her name to Marcovicci and curtailed her singing career.[9] She was the mother of racing-engine firm owner[10] Peter Marcovicci[11] and actress/singer Andrea Marcovicci, who credits her mother with passing down her love of and skill in cabaret.[5][7][11][12] She was widowed in 1968 and remarried Dana Carroll in 1980 who preceded her in death.[13]
