    Fingers Crossed For Michael Stoyanov To Finally Come On As A Bonus Guest Interview Sometime In Season 3 🙏🏻😃⭐️🌟😎📱

  • @starbucksonthemoon5582
    @starbucksonthemoon5582 22 дня назад

    I am thrilled to find this podcast. I am an 80's girl who wanted to be Laura Holt when I grew up. To summarize my devotion to it, let's just say I started to watch at 13 and I never stopped. I've had to buy the dvd box set twice. Remington Steele ( the original) would never work in 2024 but it was in my opinion groundbreaking. As much as I love the show listening to SZ talk sometimes makes me cringe. It's like she has a chip on her shoulder. It's been years and you made your character Iconic for our generation move on its what I want to say to her be gracious and grateful and a little humble but again I did not walk in her shoes so who knows what she went trough. I know she was supposed to be the star and in my eyes she was the main character and the reason for me watching but the show was named Remington Steele and Pierce Brosnan is a force no way he would have stayed a minor character. I am grateful that on dvd Season 1 he put to rest the never-ending rumors of not getting along, and he spoke lovely of her. Not everyone gets along while working, best example is Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny who are now the best of friends. Having said all this, I will forever be grateful for Laura Holt who shaped me in so many ways. I would love to see a spinoff where their granddaughter takes over the agency.

I discovered this interview when I was searching for the real composer of the Beautiful Lady Near Me song that character Sonny Mann wrote. It was a beautiful song. It was first used in the show where the record producer offered Sonny a record deal because of that song, but it turned out to be a mistake because he was drunk.

    She was a fabulous selection for the show. First season was the best. She looked best in her business suit.However her understanding of the show, that she was the Star, he would play a minor role as comic relief and appear in the last 2 mins of each show. When they filmed “License to Steal” it was clear both were going to be the Stars. Then they dropped the first season intro, a very provocative opening by her explaining the premise of the show. She was not happy when the second season intro it was no longer about her. Clearly the NBC executives wanted both to be Stars. It was promised to her that this was “her show.” This was the beginning of the feminism movement, she doesn’t need a big strong man. Hence her hat, I can fill that role.

    A couple of notes. I talked about divergence in my previous comment on part one, how life became vastly different for Hungarian Americans and those who stayed, which is why Casablanca is partially built on a factual error. Keeping in line with the “let's give exotic characters Hungarian names, nobody will notice” trend, Lazlo per the story, flees to Casablanca to avoid Nazi occupation. All fair and good for a Czech or a Slovak, the polar opposite for an ethnic Hungarian. A small war and the First Vienna Accords awarded much of Slovakia to the Kingdom of Hungary, and after 2 decades of being considered a 5th column in their country, many were welcoming. So why would he flee? He couldn't have been a communist, they either stayed behind or somehow managed to flee to the USSR. That leaves one unspoken conclusion never spelled out (since yeah the Nazis were bad, but America was still not keen on Jews), namely that Lazlo was assimilated by name but remained Jewish, and once evident what happened he fled. If one binges or watches the show in installments, looking back, maybe there's one thing Miss Zimbalist forgot that Steele even mentions in Season 5 while visiting the Soviet embassy, to see how the other side lives. RS is a time capsule of the Western world. In fact, before owning the show on DVD, I've first seen it in German dubbed in the 90s. Where Moonlighting was bought shortly after the Cold War because Bruce Willis became a big hit, RS flew under the radar for a long time. By the time RS was dubbed into Hungarian, I knew Mr. Brosnan as Bond and Miss Zimbalist as a movie actress. Speaking of division, a couple of years ago, Patrick Duffy narrated a Romanian movie on how Dallas directly contributed to the downfall of Ceausescu. Despite mixed marriages, Hungarians in Romania did not tattle to us on what happened in Dallas, so while they got to enjoy it when it originally aired, it was almost over by the time we started. Speaking of Romania, driving a stick, well… there's a “certain charm” to learning to drive on badly maintained roads in cars intentionally designed not to be comfortable.

  • @akosbarati2239
    @akosbarati2239 10 месяцев назад

    It was only touched upon as a fleeting remark regarding family history, Zimbalist as a name isn't that widespread in Hungary. Her grandfather left for America in 1911, shortly before the inevitable collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which became a massive point of divergence for any Americans who traces their heritage to the monarchy. One giant linchpin was the process of forced Magyarization, assimilation where cultural identity was forged into the majority by way of pressuring non-Hungarians into choosing between keeping their social status and/or land at the price of abandoning identity, or keeping it but losing the former. After the war, the cimbalom returned to the Romani community, and started to be associated with them. Gheorgheni is a city in Transylvania, which is said to be the origin of the name. That said as her grandfather was Jewish Russian who was born at a time when pogroms were still a thing I wouldn't be surprised he adopted the name as a vocation.

"Hill Street Blues" is one of my favorite Mike Post themes (along with "The Rockford Files" and "The White Shadow"), and it did make the Billboard top 40. I love that "Breaking Bad" brought "Baby Blue" by Badfinger back to the charts. I also watched an episode that used "Goin' Down" by The Monkees. That was so cool.

    Huge fan of Remington Steele! Thought Stephanie Zimbalist was extraordinary as Laura Holt. A very talented actress! So, I was so very disappointed by this interview (both parts). She came off as unkind, self important and just generally unpleasant. I was never a fan of her father's (he couldn't act worth a damn), but the way she describes her relationship with him was just creepy. It just goes to show that actors in real life can be so very disappointing.

      I'm glad you wrote this comment, because I thought maybe Stephanie was having a bad day, but I remember an interview several years ago, where she came off pretty much the same. I think she may have been spoiled and is self important. I didn't continue to listen, so I didn't hear the part about her relationship with her father. Now I'm curious. She is a very gifted actor. One of my favorite movie of hers is called "Caroline". She was extraordinary. I am a big fan of Remington Steele, also. I loved the character of Laura Holt. And nobody could wear a Fidora, like Laura Holt.

      @@deedeegreen8338 Loved Caroline too. I have it on DVD. She is a brilliant actress, no doubt. She is also fun in "The Man in the Brown Suit", an Agatha Christie mystery. I wonder if she is a little bitter that she didn't get her just due as an actress because she is so good and knows it. If that is it, I feel bad for her because she does deserve to be more recognized. However, life is a popularity contest, unfortunately, and many fall through the cracks. I guess, overall, she comes off as entitled which may be the result of her Hollywood upbringing? Too bad, as I so much wanted to like her on a personal level. There is sexism at play too. It must have been frustrating to play against a break out phenom like Pierce Brosnan. Reminds me of Cybil Shepherd having to cope against Bruce Willis in "Moonlighting", but Cybill certainly fared better than Stephanie.

      @@s.tupper4159 I didn't get that vibe of her being self-important but I can see how her talking and name dropping might come off that way. She's a nepo baby. Pre-Remington Steele, she probably thought she was a rising star. She was considered for the role of LH of the show and RS was going to be a minor character. Came along nobody Pierce Brosnan opposite Efrem Zimbalist's daughter. But when he was getting more attention and apparently it was obvious in the writing as well, it must have been weird. There is a significant shift from S1 to S5. As said in the interview, the best actors on the show had come from theater. She seemed to have gone that route to improve her craft. There is an 80s interview post RS and it gave the impression that her father probably didn't approve of her theater work having done a popular TV series and almost having done Robocop.

    Coming back to the Podcast bc I rewatched S4 & S5. S4 had a lot of good episodes including all that you mentioned in this podcast. I loved "Surburban Steele", "Steele at your Service", and loved Mr. Steele in "Coffee, Tea or Steele" where he bounces and tests the bed while Laura is talking to Mildred on the phone. But it didn't touch too much on their relationship besides "Forged Steele" and "Sensitive Steele." But S5... Micheal Gleason seemed to want to save the show by introducing another man for Laura. Laura and Remington agreed to finally sleep together but the more the season progressed, the less they were on screen together. Was it on purpose if Stephanie and Pierce weren't getting along at the time? I wish we actually got a conversation between Remington and Laura about how they felt about it each other. Idk She kisses Tony and then gets annoyed with Mr. Steele for ratting him out to the police. Mr. Steele loses his father. And Yet they find a way to get together again? I think creator Micheal Gleason really thought changing the show would convince the network but it didn't.
