One show that stands out in particular throughout her career is one that’s also gained a lot of attention thanks the heartthrob Pierce Brosnan, who starred with her in the show. It might sound sexist, but the truth of the show was that a female sleuth was hard for many people to believe, thereby facilitating the addition of a man like Brosnan as he in fact became Remington Steele, a man that was as mysterious as he was dangerous, and a figure that many more people could embrace because, well, men were considered to be better at the spy game than women back then, and it wasn’t believed that a woman could do half of the things a man could do. If that sentiment was shared now however it would likely be eviscerated, along with the speaker, before the opening credits were finished rolling by. The show got by with this kind of attitude for a little while however, since it was the 80s and women hadn’t quite put their collective foot down as hard as was done in the 90s.
By the time such a thing happened however Remington Steele was off the air and women were taking on a new role in movies and films, showing that they were more than capable of being the top dog, the number one in charge, and were able to take the lead from men without any trouble. By the 90s Stephanie had taken to acting (https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Stephanie-Zimbalists-career-fizzle-after-Remington-Steele-went-off-the-air?q=stephanie%20zimbalist) mostly in TV films, but the fact remains that she was still around, and she’s still around today. Despite being listed as active she doesn’t seem to have done much of anything since about 2015-2016, but that means very little since actors tend to take personal time now and again to move towards other projects or simply to relax. The chances seem good that she’ll continue to show up or at least continue doing something behind the scenes as she chooses.
