Stefanie Powers, Harold Gould, and St. Pope John Paul II

TV Confidential with Ed Robertson

TVC 671.5: Part 2 of a conversation that began last week with Stefanie Powers, the actress known around the world as Jennifer Hart on Hart to Hart (ABC, 1979-1984) and the founder and president of the William Holden Wildlife Foundation (WHWF.org). Topics this segment include Stefanie’s work as chair of the Seasoned Performers Committee for both the L.A. Local and the National Board Committee of Seniors for SAG-AFTRA, where she continues to deal with the recent lawsuits over ageism and recent insurance issues for SAG members. She also shares a few memories of co-starring with Harold Gould on The Feather and Father Gang (ABC, 1976-1977), as well as the story of how she and Robert Wagner met St. Pope John Paul II in Italy in the summer of 1983, just before they went to Greece to film the season premiere of Hart to Hart that year. Stefanie Powers is also featured in Vision for the Future: Capturing Inspiring Stories from Leaders and Changemakers, a new anthology eBook that profiles twenty-five visionaries who not only are making a significant impact in their respective fields, but are dedicated to making the world a better place through hope, action, and lasting change. Vision for the Future recognizes Stefanie for her work with WHWF.org, the nonprofit organization that Stefanie established in 1982 that continues and furthers the conservation work of William Holden in East Africa.
