Great snippet, thanks for passing it along.
Years and years ago there was small group of Steph’s fans that met in a chat room. Most of the time I was the only guy.
At most there might have been a dozen participants.
There is http://stephaniezimbalist.net/ nowadays.
“Loved this scene”

He brought an authenticity to the roles he played. He was believable.
He had some talent. RIP.

A lonely Steph fanboy, eh? A while back I managed to get a DVD of “The Killing Mind”, a 1991 T-movie she starred in. She was good in “The Babysitter”, too.
Hey, thanks Wally_Bert.
The Story Lady is another good one of hers.
I seem to be one of the few for whatever reason.
“The Story Lady is another good one of hers.”

Don’t know that one, but she’s a good actress and was a pretty lass back in the day. Her dad was a good guy, too, of course.
It’s well worth watching at Christmas time.
It gets even worse, GJMY. I’m 66. The decades go by like years used to.
He was my first crush. THEN CAME BRONSON. RIP, Michael Parks.
Husband and I both are in our 70’s. We have one son who is
surviving at 51. Both of our parents lived to be in their
80’s. - Son’s gonna need to grow up because we aren’t going
to be around forever to be much help to him. We have life
insurance enough to bury us when that time comes. My mother
made me promise her I would not be cremated when I died (she
thought it wasn’t a truly Christian burial & was more of a
thing the heathen did to their dead). I promised & have
told both my husband & son that I now agree with my mother;
and will not do ANYTHING to them after they’re dead (if they
happen to precede me) that I would not do to them when they
are deceased that I wouldn’t do when they’re alive. I
know cremation is a “popular”, cheaper, method now; but it
is the last thing I can do for my loved ones. I put both
my parents away nice enough; so not to tweak anybody’s nose,
but if I could have any influence, I’d say don’t burn
your loved ones to a crisp! (Son is a reluctant
Episcopalian & was glad to hear me say it as the urn isn’t
what he really got very excited about.)
She was a very attractive woman.
I think her character was intellectually challenged on the show.
I liked the cast. Colt Seavers, and his sidekick and this young thing made a good cast. There was the head bail bonds lady too.
He played two roles, was also the sheriff/cop investigating at the wedding scene.
Total “That Guy” RIP.

Esteban Vihaio, one of the best minor characters from that movie.
I am taken aback by how underdeveloped and skinny Remington Steele is by today’s standards.
He had, like, zero upper body development.
