Stefanie Powers has been thrilling audiences for over 50 years with her looks and talent.- advertisement -
Although she appeared in feature films, including “Stagecoach,” “The Interns” and “McLintock!” it’s her small-screen credits that have brought her worldwide recognition: “The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.,” “Deceptions,” “The Burden of Proof” and, of course, the ’80s hit, “Hart to Hart.”
At age 15, Powers, who was born in Hollywood, was signed to a movie deal with Columbia Pictures. She married actor Gary Lockwood in 1966, a union that lasted six years. In 1974, Stefanie formed a friendship with actor William Holden that later blossomed into a romance. Holden was passionate about wildlife conservation, co-founding the Mount Kenya Game Ranch in Africa, a game preserve and animal orphanage. After he died in 1981, the William Holden Wildlife Foundation was created in his memory to further animal conservation education and efforts.
