Hart to Hart: An Unforgettable Reunion

Posted in Appearances, Paley Center, Television on November 15, 2010| 2 Comments »

Unforgettable!

That one word best describes the evening I had last week, attending the Hart to Hart Reunion at the Paley Center for Media. As I drove home after the event, one song that aired on the radio during my drive was “Unforgettable” – the duet version by the late (great) Nat King Cole and his daughter Natalie Cole. As the first few notes of that song began, it struck a chord and tied up the entire evening perfectly.

The panel was unforgettable and not just because there was a packed crowd of excited fans of the beloved 80’s series inside the theatre at the Paley Center, but because all of us had the chance to watch an episode of Hart to Hart together with Jonathan and Jennifer themselves, Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers, sitting right there in the room with us. And to top it all off, they entertained us during the moderated panel, recounting tales of how they met, how they came to be on the show and reminiscing about how Hollywood used to be, during their time in the limelight.

Both of these illustrious actors exuded such class and charm all the while showcasing what it means to be a true celebrity: accepting the praise from their admirers with grace and humility while, in return, embracing the audience (metaphorically speaking) as if they were an old friend who had come for a much-overdue visit.

Moderated by William Keck from TV Guide Magazine, the audience was invited behind the velvet rope, getting a glimpse inside Mr. Wagner and Ms. Powers lives from the time they first met on the set of the legendary movie West Side Story (which starred Mr. Wagner’s wife (the late) Natalie Wood) through their work together (albeit one episode) on the TV show It Takes A Thief, leading up to their much beloved TV series Hart to Hart and the eight made-for-TV movies that followed.
