Description
From Hart to Hart glamour to life on the front lines of wildlife conservation, Stefanie Powers has lived one of the most unique careers in Hollywood. In this intimate conversation with Steve Kmetko, the TV icon looks back on growing up in the studio system at Columbia Pictures, working with legends like John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara, and becoming the first female lead of an adventure series in The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.
Stefanie also opens up about her great love, William Holden, and how their time together in Kenya inspired the creation of the William Holden Wildlife Foundation. She explains why she now spends half the year in Africa, what’s really driving species extinction and climate change, and why elephants remain her favorite “extraordinary creatures.”
Plus: the real story behind landing Hart to Hart, her instant chemistry with Robert Wagner, breaking box office records on stage with Love Letters, almost starring in Alien, and what it was like to be “sold” from Columbia to MGM. Stefanie shares how she thinks about aging in a youth-obsessed industry — and why she stays relentlessly focused on the work still ahead.
If you love classic Hollywood, TV history, or powerful stories of reinvention and purpose, this one’s for you.
