Cinema Retro contributing photographer Mark Mawston was invited to cover
Stefanie Powers’ recent appearance at a London
book signing. Here is his report:
Actress Stefanie Powers was in London on Sat April 2nd at a
signing of her book at the famed Cinema Store. Que’s went around the block with
many traveling a great number of miles to meet the much loved actress. Some
were lined up before 8am for the 11am signing. On arriving Stephanie had time
to pose for Retro photographer Mark Mawston before admiring the Escape From Athena poster behind the
signing table, sadly pointing out how many of the great cast and crew had since
left us. Stefanie looked a million dollars, which may explained why she played
a millionairess wife so successfully. Stefanie was amazing with her fans, who
came from all over Europe and she spoke three
languages during conversations with them in my short time there.
The highlight
for Stefanie occurred when one of the
fans showed her the tattoo on her arm which was the signature of her brother in
law, 60’s singer Eden Kane! The fan then asked Stefanie to sign her name next
to it so that they would remain close! This tickled her no end. That intro from
Hart to Hart was true, she was
gorgeous on every level and the way she treated her fans could give pointers to
some of those currently sampling their own 15 minutes, which in some cases, is
all they will get. This was a proper star, not a flash in the pan. In looks
alone, as Max would say, this is one gal who knows how to take care of herself….
