BIOGRAPHY: Stefanie Powers, a graduate of Hollywood High, is a veteran of over 200 television appearances as well as the star of ABC's '80s hit "Hart to Hart" (1979). At the early age of 15, Stefanie was signed to a movie deal with Columbia Pictures and labeled as one of the brightest up-and-coming stars in America. After a relatively short stint in films, Stefanie took a break from Hollywood for almost five years. When she returned, she focused her acting talents on television with over 100 guest appearances in a few years.

Her marriage to actor Gary Lockwood (I) (of 2001 fame) in 1966 ended in 1972. In 1974, Stefanie formed a friendship with actor William Holden (I). Through many similarities and interests, their relationship blossomed into one of romance that lasted until the sudden death of Holden in 1981.
Stefanie is also President of the William Holden (I) Wildlife Foundation, Director of the Mount Kenya Game Ranch, an international speaker on wildlife preservation, and spokesperson for AVID Microchip Technology and works with both the Cincinnati Zoo and Zoo Atlanta.
