Throughout her career, Stefanie Powers has notched up so many stage, screen and TV credits, that her name alone recalls memories as varied as her roles. Debuting as a teenager in Blake Edwards' 1962 thriller Experiment in Terror, Stefanie's grace and good looks led to a series of popular film and television performances, but she is best known - and loved - for her time on ABC's Hart to Hart, playing opposite Robert Wagner as one half of husband and wife sleuthing team Jennifer and Jonathan Hart. A natural beauty groomed for show business from an early age, Stefanie began her career at the tail end of the Studio System. Privileged to have worked with some of the greatest stars in the Hollywood firmament, she tells of the time she broke down in tears at a party over her divorce from actor Gary Lockwood, only to be comforted with a cocktail and the hard-won, been-there advice from two guests she had never previously met: Elizabeth Taylor and Ava Gardner. Starring with Robert Wagner in Hart to Hart not only gave Stefanie five Emmy Award nominations, but also a happy working relationship that lasted more than fifteen years.But of her many dear friends and associates, no one had a more significant effect on her than Oscar-winning actor William Holden. In One from the Hart, Stefanie reveals for the first time the extraordinary nine-year relationship they shared: a love story that ended with his tragic death at the cruel hands of depression and alcoholism. One from the Hart is the story of a resourceful, empowered woman and her atypical celebrity life. Stefanie tells her tale with the candour, wit, and wisdom that have come to embody the woman herself.
