![]() Stephanie Zimbalist Quotation"If I've learned one thing in life, it's you can never go back." "My upbringing was very un-Hollywood... I was born in New York and grew up on a ranch. I was never really smitten by the business in those days, never a fan type -- just a basic kid watching TV. It wasn't like I was an insider. I was never really brought into the show business side of my father's life. I guess that's been a blessing and a downfall. But it's made my own work the initiation." 1983 - "I'm not the sexiest thing in the world, I feel actors who have to *play* sexy lose all their sex appeal. When they start with the tongue and the heavy lids, it looks so ridiculous. I think you just have to be yourself." Movie Title: Remington Steele (1982) as Laura Holt: Laura Holt : "Atomic man is wanted for murder" Steele : "Really, I didn't relize the pently for bad acting was that stiff in this country" [Izzy is dying] Izzy: Toodle-loo. Laura Holt : Toodle-loo? Steele : That's what I call shuffling off with class. Laura Holt : What are you doing? Steele : I'll tell you what I'm *not* doing! I'm not driving in circles trying to elude people I don't know, who want to kill a nice little nebbish, for reasons I don't even understand. I'm also not about to sit in that car while Sheldon looks at me like I'm Babe Ruth and George Washington all rolled into...(into phone)...yes, information? I'd like the number of the Central Intelligence Agency.... NO, that is not a residence. Laura Holt : Now all we need is the third man. Remington Steele : Well, if it isn't Orson Welles, I can't be of any immediate help. [narration from the opening credits] Laura Holt : Try this for a deep, dark secret: the great detective, Remington Steele? He doesn't exist. I invented him. Follow. I always loved excitement, so I studied, and apprenticed, and put my name on an office. But absolutely nobody knocked down my door. A female private investigator seemed so...feminine. So I invented a superior. A decidedly MASCULINE superior. Suddenly there were cases around the block. It was working like a charm...until the day HE walked in, with his blue eyes and mysterious past. And before I knew it, he assumed Remington Steele's identity. Now I do the work, and he takes the bows. It's a dangerous way to live, but as long as people buy it, I can get the job done. We never mix business with pleasure. Well, almost never. I don't even know his real name! |
