Might Miss Stefanie Powers be a bit more eccentric than one suspected?

What am I supposed to glean from this photo, OP? That she looks damn good for her age? Because that's all I'm seeing.

She has a full nude scene in a movie that was just released. Really.

It’s called The Artist’s Wife, and it stars Lena Olin and Bruce Dern. Powers has a small role as a performance artist.

She's HAF for 77. Lung cancer surgery 3 times.

Because she's wearing a mask, OP? What the fuck is your point?

Lol 😂 r4

Damn. OP here. I'm so high I thought that was lettuce in her cart. Nothing but huge lettuce.

OP, bless your heart.

She knows how to take care of herself.

She looks so good. Good for her.

How in the fuck would u know, r8?

She's now the age Lionel Stander was when Hart to Hart ended.

I'm not getting eccentricity vibes off that photo. She's just shopping.

She is an obvious hoarder. That is way too many groceries for one person. Also, all her bags match. Clearly obsessive compulsive. Plus she stole Linda Evans’s hairstyle. (See other thread.)

She looks amazing, actually.

I really liked her in the old Hammer Horror film Die, Die My Darling with Talulah Bankhead as the sinister elderly religious zealot.

Watch her every weekend in H2H reruns on Cozi. Still love that show.

When Tallulah saw the dailies on that film, r14, she said: "They used to shoot Shirley Temple through gauze, they should be shooting me through linoleum".

She was fired from "Half Time" because she was such a nightmare to work with.

She's gorgeous. What a terrific lady.

R17 I never heard that. Any links?

Where's the DLer who lives next to her and refers to her as a monster? I want to hear it all.

R10, missing the reference.

😆 r18

Wait. She's 77 and doing nude scenes?

Fuck. Madonna is going to make it a point to pose spread eagle when she's 78.

Thanks alot.

TIL grocery shopping is eccentric.

She's a self-admitted horny Scorpio.

They should do a reboot of "Hart to Hart" with Robert and Stefanie back in their old roles of Jonathan and Jennifer Hart, only this time they're joined in their sleuthing by their gay son, Joshua, and his husband, Jensen. I think it would be tremendous!

R26, I definitely would watch that reboot!

I like the way r26 thinks.

I'm available. Make sure you cast the role of Jensen my husband with someone who is young and hawt. Someone who is willing to work with me in private outside of studio hours.

If Jensen is a super sleuth who also breaks out into song-and-dance routines because he always needs all eyes on him, I'd be just perfect!

Giant heads of lettuce

Everyone knows Stefanie is a lesbian. Now knock it off, OP.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I'm a guy so tell me ladies is Miss Powers a lesbian? I always thought it was odd that the first person Audrey Hepburn phoned after learning of Capucine's suicide was Miss Powers.

Those aren’t huge lettuces, OP.

She's led a very interesting life, OP. And she's obviously in fantastic shape for her age. R33, what are you doing looking at the crotch of a 77-year old woman?

That crotch shot was doctored - photoshoped - to satisfy camel toe watchers

I'm impressed that she's still alive. Good for her.

I would like a huge lettuce.

R6 I love you, OP

She was married to Gary Lockwood. And the lover of William Holden. Enough memories to last the lifetimes of all DLers put together.

[quote]Enough memories to last the lifetimes of all DLers put together.

I think you underestimate the ages of Dataloungers.

Her official Twitter

—Our memory books could span volumes and fill libraries.

On FOLLIES alone, r42! She would have been a pretty good Phyllis.

I wish there were clips of her LOOPED performance.

An evening with Stef...

For r10's further cultural knowledge:

Takes a lot of courage to tackle this song IMO. Is this from a road production or a nightclub act?

Back in the '80s I knew a drag queen named Stefanie Towers.

I imagine she did, r49.

^ Yep—she was, like, 6'5" (LOL)

I’ve had a crush on her since I was a kid and saw Herbie Rides Again.” Happy she’s still “Gaw-Jus!”

Stefanie is quite big in the English horsey/polo set and close to the royals.

Her forehead above (the shiny, lumpy look) is the result of too much or recent botox.

And yes, we had a poster a while back who was her neighbor and she's apparently a handful.

Love her, she looks great and not "just for her age".

She's also very involved in animal welfare and the William Holden Wildlife Foundation in Africa.

Handful as a neighbor could mean a lot of things. Was she a stickler for people maintaining their yards, or more the type to call the police if a few kids are skateboarding?

She looks "okay."

I was about to ask why Stefanie never published a memoir, but apparently she did back in 2011! I'm going to see if my library system has it.

[quote] I'm going to see if my library system has it.

You still use a library?

R57, yup. I love nothing more than a real book in front of me. Not a fan of eBooks, though I'll read them if pressed.

Robert Wagner still looks good too and he is 90!

Robert Wagner is now FAT.

R60,RJ has been eating and drinking away his guilt from Natalie's "accidental" (the biggest quotes imaginable) death since 1981. It's nice to know he had a good working relationship with Stefanie on the show. Jill St John lucked out on being the 4th Mrs. Wagner, as RJ has all that 'Charlie's Angels' $$$ that Spelling enticed him and Natalie with to do a couple of TV films in the 70s. (RJ and Natalie owned a percentage of 'CA'...someone here might know the %. It was a substantial amount.)

R60 well he is 90, and he held up quite well for a long time. Whether he killed his wife is a separate issue.

always heard she was lez

Screaming over tall fences and calling the police about noise (daytime) and trash barrels is actually more than a handful r54.

I was being nice.

What do you have to add?

^^ More. More.

A DLer posted this here years ago:

I was a featured extra in an 80's made-for-tv movie starring Stephanie Powers, Fran Drescher and David Birney.

One of my highlights was witnessing a major SP breakdown as she was having trouble remembering her lines (she was taking over an hour to get each line right). Suddenly she began stomping her feet and screaming that Fran was "doing SOMETHING...to make me LOSE MY FOCUS!!!!" I was sure she was going to start foaming at the mouth. Fran just stood there quietly while Stephanie went off (although I'm sure she wanted to smack her)

Did David Birney end up slapping one of them?

R67, David Birney only slapped Meredith Baxter around. Probably to try to slap the lezzie out of her.

Hey Gays, its Stefanie. STEFANIE!

Damn. This old heifer looks GOOD for almost 80.

Genuinely stunned. Dang!!!!

A nice Jewish girl with a nice Jewish nose job.

She's a proud Polish-American along with Bobby Vinton, Gronk, Tea Leoni and Somebody Something Ski.

I will forever worship her for Hart to Hart.

R72, regardless, she's Jewish. Another reason to hide (for her era).

Is she a Trumpanzie?

Fuck off, R33.

R75. No, she's a leftie. Very cool

Here's a link to the film in which Stef blamed Fran for making her LOSE HER FOCUS. You have to give her credit for making many craptastic TV movies.

What? Like Stefanie Powers was gonna win an Emmy for a TV movie? Lucille Ball in Stone Pillow she was not!

She's got a full-on nude scene in a new movie. Who knew they were remaking Ghost Story and would cast Stefanie Powers as the old naked kady who gets out of the tub?

R75 here, thank you, R77.

TV movies pay the bills.

TWO Stefanie’s for the price of one! What a hot mess this show was—-but a delicious one. I think it’s a hoot that she used “Taffy Paul” as her stage name early in her career!

Taffy Paul was her real name. Old friends from school days still call her Taffy (which was a nick name) Paul was her father's family name.

Stefania Zofya Paul was her real name. She used taffy Paul early in her career.

Her FATHER's last name was Paul. Taffy was her nickname

In the book Upper Cut by Carrie White a BH hairdresser, writes about her young days at Hollywood High with Taffy Paul and a number of others who would go into acting

Wow, that was thrilling R86. Did it ever occur to you to elaborate? Let me get out this book that I don't fucking own to see what the idiot R86 is talking about.

^^ another charming 250 pound lesbian.

[quote]Like Stefanie Powers was gonna win an Emmy for a TV movie? Lucille Ball in Stone Pillow she was not!

She was nominated a couple of times for Lead Actress in a Drama Series for "Hart to Hart," something that would most likely not happen today. Not that she wasn't deserving, it's just that the broadcast networks are barely recognized anymore at the Emmys.

Shes lovely. But she's no Connie Sellecca!

Thank God she never got near a boat with Robert Wagner

“Screaming over tall fences and calling the police about noise (daytime) and trash barrels is actually more than a handful [R54].”

Sounds like she had shitty neighbors to me. I’d be pissed, too.

Trash Barrel #1: “What the HELL is all that racket? How trashy.”

Trash Barrel #2: “Oh, it’s just that whacky Taffy beyotch. And to think we came out here to get away from that screaming. Look, she’s screeching over the fence now!”

Trash Barrel #1: “Crazy celeb’s don’t need much provocation to act up and be ridiculous, do they?”

She’s a love and one of the nicest ladies around!

Rolls eyes at R93.

When Barrowman came out to her he expressed his fear that he'd be outed by the Press so she told him he could throw her name around as his gf. I thought this was quite civil of her.

John Barrowman?!

......

Nice!

Nothing screams "heterosexual" like dating at 30-years-your-senior Stefanie Powers.

A bit delusional that Miss Powers thought she'd be an appropriate beard

John Barrowman was "too straight" to play Will in Will and Grace.
