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 committed to the preservation and protection of wildlife worldwide.
The cornerstone for her work in conservation is the William Holden Wildlife Foundation of
which she is co-founder and president. The William Holden Wildlife Foundation is a public
charity operating in Kenya in East Africa and named after Stefanie’s long-time life partner, the
late actor William Holden, who founded the Mt. Kenya Safari Club and Mt. Kenya Game Ranch
in the late 1950’s. The William Holden Wildlife Foundation Education Center currently serves
over 10,000 students a year and is located adjacent to the game ranch (now called the Mount
Kenya Wildlife Conservancy) created by Holden long before conservation was a word in popular
use. “The Foundation is a lifetime commitment,” Stefanie admits, “and not something I entered
into without understanding the full impact of the obligation.”
It is perhaps staggering to most of us who would find either acting or extensive philanthropic
work full-time occupations in themselves, but Stefanie’s life only begins there. She makes the
term “well-rounded” an understatement. Her acting credits include 28 feature films, such as
Experiment in Terror, The Interns, McLintock!, Die Die My Darling, Love Has Many Faces,
Stagecoach, Herbie Rides Again! and The Man Inside. Her television credits include three
series: The Girl from U.N.C.L.E., The Feather and Father Gang and, of course, Hart to Hart.
Among her many mini-series are: Washington: Behind Closed Doors, Deceptions, Mistral’s
Daughter, At Mother’s Request, Burden of Proof and Beryl Markham: A Shadow on the Sun,
which she also produced.
As a professional dancer, singer and actress since the age of 15, Powers has never forgotten her
first love, the musical theater, and has been able to combine a successful television and film
schedule with appearances in plays such as Annie Get Your Gun, My Fair Lady, Oliver! and
Applause, the first revival of the musical version of the classic film All About Eve. She appeared
with her Hart to Hart co-star Robert Wagner in the London West End debut of the play Love
Letters, and the following year appeared again in the West End in the production of the original
musical Matador. Stefanie continued her British connection with subsequent appearances in the
debut of the three-character play The Adjustment, and the elaborate West End production of The
King and I. She also toured the United States in the most recent Rogers and Hammersteinapproved
revival of their beloved musical. Her one woman show, One From the Hart, a musical
celebration of love, debuted in November, 2007. Her vocal prowess is also showcased on
STEFANIE POWERS –ON THE SAME PAGE, her debut recording on the Jambo Music label
on which she teams with veteran musician/arranger Page Cavanaugh. Page and Stefanie have
appeared on the concert stage together, including an appearance at New York’s Cabaret
Convention.
The success of the TV hit Hart to Hart led to the release of the series’first two years on DVD
(Sony Home Entertainment). The Hart to Hart DVDs feature interviews with Powers and
Wagner highlighted by anecdotes of the pairs’long-running professional relationship, which
included five years of the weekly, hour-long series plus eight, two-hour TV movies.
Documentaries have also played a part in Stefanie’s professional life. Highlights of those
documentaries include adventures in Northeastern Sumatra searching for orangutan habitats with
Professor Terry Maple, director of Zoo Atlanta and the Palm Beach Zoo, and experts from
Yerkes Primate Center, and Microsoft’s first onlineadventure magazine, Mungo Park, for which
she acted as correspondent for wildlife terra and fauna.
Other documentaries include the seven-hour series Funding Your Dreams, a financial guide to
the future for PBS, and the 13-part Wine Express, much acclaimed by Wine Connoisseur
Magazine, for AMC. Powers was also the subject of an Intimate Portrait, produced for Lifetime
Television.
Travel has always been an important part of her life. In pursuit of more meaningful experiences,
Powers has taught herself seven languages. “I never travel frivolously,” says Stefanie. “There is
always some prevailing curiosity or interest to pursue wherever I go. Of course, it is very
fortunate when work and travel combine. For instance, when filming The Good King for the
Family Channel took me to the Czech Republic in the beginning of its flowering as a destination,
I could enjoy exploring the country where my grandmother had lived for a time.”
And if that’s not enough, she has served on the boards of several American zoos, among them,
the Cincinnati Zoo, Zoo Atlanta and the Los Angeles Zoo (for which she is a Fellow), where she
works with species survival programs. She is a frequent keynote speaker for causes dear to her
heart such as Farm Sanctuary, which advocates humane treatment for farm animals, and the
Bushmeat Crisis, which alerts people to the effects of forest over-exploitation in Africa and the
world and its disastrous effect on wildlife. She has also been honored by the venerable Explorers
Club with its Lowell Thomas Award for her conservation efforts.
She has released four home videos: Introduction to Horseback Riding and Horse Care, Stefanie
Powers’ Broadway Workout—a fitness workout underscored with Broadway show tunes, and
PowerPilates 1 and 2 from Silver Foxes Network/Sony Home Video. The Pilates videos
spawned the book POWERS PILATES – Stefanie Powers’ Guide to Longevity and Well-Being
Through Pilates from Fireside Books, a division of Simon & Schuster.
“Every once in a while, all these things come crashing together,” comments Stefanie on her
crowded schedule. “You’re obviously going to have those moments if you involve yourself with
a lot of things.”
What’s her solution? Just keep going. “I feel very privileged to have been on the tail-end of the
‘Star System,’” explains Stefanie. “I began to work at 15, and when I was put under contract at
Columbia, they still believed in ‘grooming’ their young hopefuls. Because the studio was my
playground, that process allowed me to learn how movies were made. In many ways, the
experience of working with movie greats such as John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, Bing Crosby,
Van Heflin, Glenn Ford, Lee Remick, Lana Turner, Cliff Robertson, David Niven and Claudia
Cardinale helped to give me a sense of the importance of balancing career and life. I became
friends with Tallulah Bankhead and Helen Hayes after our work together, and they gave me a
sense of appreciation and respect for all those greats who set such a high standard for all of us to
follow.
“But they all said the same thing – ‘when the makeup comes off, you still have to go home and
face your life; make sure it is as satisfying as the one you left at the dressing table.’ I think I
have.”
