Stefanie Powers, narrator...

b i o g r a p h y...........back to roster....up If one measures Hollywood stars by such traditional markers as grace, beauty, and sophistication, then Stefanie Powers harkens back to Hollywoods Golden Era when stars were the essence of what everybody dreamed to be. And if one measures the quality of a person by their sense of dedication, their concern for the world around them, by their ability to step outside themselves and see the greater importance of community and society, then Stefanie Powers exemplifies the "new Hollywood" smart, charismatic, committed and, yes, sexy. Actress Stefanie Powers, whose charming and thoughtful real-life personality may most closely resemble stunning renaissance woman Jennifer Hart, the character she portrayed on the hit television series "Hart to Hart," has combined a natural curiosity and passion for knowledge, world travel, and diverse cultures into both an award-winning acting career and an equally active life of heartfelt philanthropic work. The cornerstone of that work is the William Holden Wildlife Foundation, a public charity dedicated to the preservation of wild animals, which Stefanie helped to found in honor of the late actor and for which she serves as president. The William Holden Wildlife Education Center, which currently serves 10,000 students a year, is located near the Mt. Kenya Safari Club and the Mt. Kenya Game Ranch started by Holden in the late 1950s before conservation became a popular issue. "The Foundation is an extremely large commitment," Stefanie admits, "but its not something I entered into without understanding the full impact of the obligation. Its a lifelong commitment that sometimes monopolizes one hundred percent of my time." Whats perhaps staggering for most of us who would find either acting or extensive social work each full-time occupations in themselves is that Stefanies life only begins there. She makes the term well-rounded a severe understatement. To begin, she runs her own production company, which always has several projects brewing. Her acting credits include 27 feature films, such as "Experiment in Terror," "The Interns," "McClintock!," "Die Die My Darling," "Love Has Many Faces," "Stagecoach," "Herbie Rides Again" and "The Man Inside." Her television credits include three television series: "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.," "The Feather and Father Gang," and, of course, "Hart to Hart." Her many mini-series include "Washington: Behind Closed Doors," "Deceptions," "Mistrals Daughter," "At Mothers Request," "Burden of Proof and "Beryl Markham: A Shadow on the Sun," which she also produced. She has also appeared on stage in many musical productions, such as "Oliver," "Annie Get Your Gun," "My Fair Lady," and the London production of "Matador." Also, in Londons West End, she was reunited with Robert Wagner in the play "Love Letters" followed by tours of the play in many cities in the U.S. and Canada. The "Hart to Hart" pair later recreated their weekly series in eight 2-hour movies. Powers starred as the legendazy Margo Channing in the revival of "Applause--The Musical All About Eve" during its U.S. tour, showcasing her singing and dancing prowess for American audiences. She has recently entered the world of Internet activities by participating as a correspondent for Mungo Park, Microsofts on-line adventure magazine. back to roster...up . . . .
