It's more Summer Reruns. Check out this cool encore episode from Season 1:
Susan and Sharon sit down with a true show business icon and classic 8os TV Lady --  “Remington Steele’s” one-and-only Laura Holt -- Stephanie Zimbalist.

In a career spanning six decades, Stephanie has performed on stage and screen with everyone: Alec Baldwin, Walter Matthau, Jessica Tandy, Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, Patricia Neal, Alfred Molina, Tommy Tune, Jimmy Stewart AND her own father, the legendary Efrem Zimbalist Jr.

THE CONVERSATION 

  • Growing up Zimbalist: what it’s like to be born into a true show business dynasty.
  • How Stephanie started writing, directing and producing – at the age of seven.
  •  How she attended Julliard with friends and classmates Robin Williams and Christopher Reeve -- and then got kicked out!
  • Winning – or not winning – an “Enema” (oh wait -- “Emmy”)
  • A Life in the Theater: performing award-winning roles in classic plays by Shakespeare, Chekhov, Tennessee Williams and more.
  • The gift of making “big choices” on stage – and screen. And the pleasure of refining and reinventing a performance over a long run.
  • Playing Katherine Hepburn in “Tea at Five” – and how she discovered they’re cousins!
  • Turning down the role of Laura Holt three times before finally taking it on.
  • “Backwards and in High Heels” – on water skis!  Stephanie takes us through doing her own stunts on “Remington Steele” -- and working with legendary stuntwoman Debbie Evans. 
Join Susan and Sharon (and Stephanie) as we talk fame, fedoras – and wet-biking in France with Pierce. PLUS -- MORE listener mail!!
