Powers Claims Network Bosses Snubbed Her After HART TO HART!
‘Hart To Hart‘ beauty Stefanie Powers says she felt like a “pariah” after the hit TV series came to an end, because network bosses turned their backs on her!
The glamorous actress played Jennifer Hart in the amateur sleuth series, which ran for a hugely “successful” five years on U.S. network ABC.
But even though the show ended on a high note, Powers insists she was abandoned as a has-been by TV bosses and is convinced the end of a hit show is often the end of its stars’ careers.
She tells CNN‘s ‘Piers Morgan Tonight‘:
“When you do a television series that’s very successful and when it comes to an end, in spite of the fact that it may have come to a glorious end or that it was highly successful for everybody, including the network, you rarely work on that network for many, many years to come.
“It’s as if you were a pariah suddenly. Seldom do you get re-employed quickly. I don’t know if it’s because people feel that the show somehow ended and therefore you were not bankable anymore. It’s the calls that don’t get returned. The realisation that, uh-oh, wait a minute, I lost my place in line.”
Does the end of a TV series really spell out THE END of an actor’s career? I’m not so sure.
