Susan and Sharon sit down with a true show business icon and classic 80’s TV Lady -- “Remington Steele’s” one-and-only Laura Holt -- Stephanie Zimbalist.
In a career spanning six decades, Stephanie has performed on stage and screen with everyone from Alec Baldwin, Walter Matthau, Jessica Tandy, Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, Patricia Neal, Alfred Molina, Tommy Tune, Jimmy Stewart AND her own father, the legendary Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
The Conversation…
- Growing up Zimbalist: what it’s like to be born into a true show business dynasty. - How Stephanie started writing, directing and producing – at the age of seven. - How she attended Julliard with friends and classmates Robin Williams and Christopher Reeve -- and then got kicked out! - Winning – or not winning – an “Enema” (oh wait -- “Emmy”) - A Life in the Theater: performing award-winning roles in classic plays by Shakespeare, Chekhov, Tennessee Williams and more. - The gift of making “big choices” on stage – and screen. And the pleasure of refining and reinventing a performance over a long run. - Playing Katherine Hepburn in “Tea at Five” – and how she discovered they’re cousins! Turning down the role of Laura Holt three times before finally taking it on. - “Backwards and in High Heels” – on water skis! Stephanie takes us through doing her own stunts on “Remington Steele” -- and working with legendary stuntwoman Debbie Evans.
Join Susan and Sharon (and Stephanie) as we talk fame, fedoras – and wet-biking in France with Pierce.
