Thank you all, so much for bringing Remington Steele back into our hearts and lives! This show brought much joy and laughter to our home, with revelations of excellence in writing, talent and entertainment (Yes we need it again so desperately today)! It is such a blessing, to be able to hear from Stephanie Zimbalist and get to know her, on both a more personal and professional level. Thank you Stephanie, for sharing your stories and allowing the audience to sit behind the screen (and scenes) of Remmingon Steele, as well as the stages and theatres of your life. I moved from NY, and worked in Hollywood (CBS studios), and agree with all your discerning (and clever) statements and perceptions on the business. You were, and always will be a beautiful (inside and out), and a professional inspiration to all women, and aspiring actresses. I hope to be able to meet you one day, until then, keep believing in yourself and shining the light! Much Love and continued prayers...for health, happiness, and restoration of all things, in 2023..MB
