Uyamkhumbula uRemington Steele? Umdlalo weqonga we-NBC ka-1980 we-NBC onomxholo kaHenry Mancini wawumhle kakhulu kuPierce Brosnan, owayedlala indima kwaye wayeza kuba nguJames Bond aze atshate ne-buxom, u-beately Keely Shaye Smith. Akuzange konzakalise umsebenzi ka-Doris Roberts (umncedisi weofisi u-Mildred Krebs), ophumelele u-Emmys kathathu ngokulandelelana kwakhe ekuboniseni kwakhe umamazala u-Marie Barone kuwo wonke umntu othanda uRaymond. Kodwa kuthekani ngenkwenkwezi yayo yesithathu, uStephanie Zimbalist, owayedlala uLaura Holt, umphandi wangasese onamandla, owayengaze avumele uPierce ukuba afike kwisiseko sesibini, kakhulu kukudana kwababukeli bakhe abancinci?
UNks. Zimbalist uyaphila kwaye uhlala kwiNtlambo, kodwa ngokufanekisayo ubonakala ewele emngxunyeni omnyama womvundla olele phakathi kwabadlali abangaphantsi kweminyaka engama-35 kunye nalabo ngokukhuselekileyo, ngokukhawuleza ukuya esikhathini, njengoNks Roberts. Ngo-Novemba ngo-11, wavela wabamba itheko likayise, igqala lomlingisi we-TV u-Efrem Zimbalist Jr. (i-Sunset Strip; i-FBI.) Kwi-Hollywood History Museum kwi-Highland Avenue. Umnumzana Zimbalist wayebhiyozela isimemo sakhe esapapashwa nje, Isidlo sam sangoku se-Herbs -yintombi yakhe eyamncedayo ukuba abhale, ngokukhupha malunga neeyure ezili-17 zembali yomlomo-kunye nokunikela ngeememori ze-showbiz kwimyuziyam: umpu owenziwe ngegolide kunye ne-FBI. iziqinisekiso awayezinikwe nguJ. Edgar Hoover. Izitulo zazisasazwe ngocoselelo malunga nabantu ababekwiminyaka ethile, kunye namaqebengwana amancinci.
Ukufika kukaTata, enxibe umsesane wepinki, iqhina elinemigca kunye nothotho lwamehlo (usandula ukwenza utyando ukususa i-basal skin carcinoma), UNks Zimbalist wamanga kakhulu emilebeni.
Uyintombi, wakrokra umntu olahlekisayo kumfoti obuzayo.
Kwaqhuma iibhalbhu ezimbalwa. AbakwaZimbalists bubukhosi obungenasiphelo: Utat'omkhulu ongutata ongasekhoyo kaStephanie, u-Efrem Zimbalist Sr., wayeyilayinisti eyaziwayo, etshate ne-opera star Alma Gluck; Umtshana wakhe, uKristy Zimbalist, wasebenza nzima phantsi kweKate Betts eHarper's Bazaar. UStephanie wazuza njengelinye italente yomculo. Ndiyacula, utshilo. Ndiyacula, kwaye kufanelekile ukuba ndinamathele kuyo, kuba yeyona nto ndiyithandayo ukuyenza. Mhlawumbi yeyona nto ndiyithandayo, nayo.
Ukhuseleko lwalubukele ngamehlo abuthathaka umfazi ongaziwayo onento ene-double-D yokufakelwa kwebele kunye nebhegi kaLouis Vuitton, edityaniswe kwisinxibo esifutshane setyhubhu ebomvu kunye nokuphanga iikhamera. Igumbi lalizele bubuso obutsaliweyo; UNks Zimbalist wayengenguye omnye wabo.
Asisafoti njengesileyiti esingenanto kwakhona, utshilo. Abantu abafuni ukubona imibimbi, kuba ukuba babona imibimbi kubadlali kufuneka bajongane nokuba banemibimbi, nabo…. Bakhetha ukubona ukugqibelela phaya phezulu. Kwaye ke ufumana izazinzulu zerokhethi abaneminyaka engama-22 ubudala.
Ukuthamba ngeenxa zonke emaphethelweni kunakwilanga lakhe likaLaura Holt, iinwele zakhe wazisusa, U-Ms Zimbalist wayenxibe ilokhwe engwevu ye-Eileen Fisher-droopy ngebhokisi yesikhonkwane kunye nebhegi emnyama yenayiloni, iinyawo zakhe ezincinci kwizilayidi ezimnyama, iinzipho zepeyinti zemaroni. Kwakukho into edilikayo malunga neenzwane.
Waziswa kwisihlwele njengenkwenkwezi yeqonga kunye nescreen. Xa into engenakuphepheka kwaye niyamazi njengoLaura Holt ovela eRemington Steele… yeza, waqaqamba kancinci.
Ngaba mna? watsho mva. Bendingazimiselanga. Kuphela… sekuyiminyaka engama-20, uyazi?
UNks Zimbalist okwangoku uziqhelanisa nemidlalo yeqonga leDefying Gravity, umdlalo ophefumlelwe kukuqhushumba kwesiphekepheke uMceli mngeni ngo-1986, novula ngomhla wama-22 eRubicon Theatre eVentura County. Udlala umlinganiswa ngokukhululekileyo esekwe kutitshala-usomajukujuku uChristi McAuliffe.
Kwaye kuphela kwento ekwikhadi lakhe lokudanisa okwangoku.
Yindawo enkulu enamafutha, utshilo. Zimbalwa iindima zabasetyhini abaneminyaka ethile, banokhetho lwabo lokuba bafuna bani. Yayiyimini nje yentsimi kum malunga neminyaka eli-10 eyadlulayo; Ndingathanda ukukhetha kwam iimuvi zeveki. Kodwa loo marike yomile, akukho bhanyabhanya-we-veki-ntengiso onokuyithetha, ngaphandle kokuba ufuna ukwenza iprojekthi enje ngento kaReagan, endingayi kusondela kuye-ngehlazo, ngendlela. Awunakulinda kwaye uhlale ukuze ikhale umnxeba, ke ndenza imidlalo yeqonga.
Unksz Zimbalist uthe UNks Roberts-enye yeempahla zakhe ezivela kuMntu wonke othanda uRaymond wayephantsi komboniso we-plexiglass kumyuziyam-unakekela ukuya kwimidlalo emininzi.
Kuyinyani, kumnandi ngokwenene, UNks Zimbalist uthe. Ukwanxibelelana ne-imeyile noMfo kaMos Brosnan, kodwa hayi kangako nendoda ngokwakhe.
Ndiyabamonela bobabini iiakhawunti zebhanki zikaPierce noDoris, watsho, kodwa ngayo yonke loo mali kuza noxanduva olukhulu. Impumelelo ingaphakathi!
Uthandana nomlawuli ogama linguPeter Medak, awamazi kuqala kumashumi amabini eminyaka eyadlulayo.
Ubize ukuphuma okwesibhakabhaka okokugqibela, ebesandula ukwahlukana nenkosikazi yakhe, kwaye besikunye ukususela oko, utshilo, esithi, eneminyaka eyi-47, awufuni kuzichaza kwakhona -Kwaye kumnandi ukuba kunye nomfana okwaziyo xa wawumhle kakhulu ukuba uya kuba.
Ngaba ikrakra le nto?
Owu, mazulu, hayi. UPierce wayengoyena wayekrakra. (UMnu Brosnan wayenikwe iBond ngaphambili kodwa isivumelwano sakhe asimvumeli ukuba ashiye umboniso; UTimothy Dalton wafumana iBond endaweni yoko.) UPierce ngoyena wayephethe iphephancwadi i-People 'Thatha lo msebenzi uwutyhale'. Inyani yile, xa uRemington Steele ephelayo, ndim owayenomfanekiso. Ndim owayenikwe ukukhokela eRobocop, kwaye izinto zaziseM.G.M. undilindile. UPierce wayengenayo iBond. Uye wagwencela kwaye wakhwaza, kwaye ibindim obefanele ukubiza uPaul Verhoeven (umlawuli weRobocop) athi, 'Ndibuhlungu kakhulu - andinakuyenza kuba kufuneka ndibuyele emsebenzini.' Andizange ndibe nantoni na ngaphandle kokubulela. Olu ngcelele lwandenza ndanyibilika. Ndinetyala elingunaphakade kubo.
Emva kwepati, wagijimela ngakwicala elilandelayo lokuya kwi-Mel's drive-in ukuyokufumana i-cheeseburger eneefry kunye nomxube we-iced-tea / lemonade kwipop yakhe, wayinika ngokumanga wamthuma.
Kuyahlekisa, utshilo uNks. Zimbalist. Xa ndidibana nabantu abawuthandayo umboniso, abaninzi abeza kum, kukho umgangatho othile wabasetyhini abawuthandayo lo mboniso, kwaye bahlala bephumelele kakhulu kwimisebenzi yabo-oogqirha namagqwetha-kwaye banobuqili kwaye sithatha inqwaba ebomini babo, kwaye ndichukumisekile kakhulu. Mna kwi iseti Remington xa ingozi Challenger kwenzeka, kwaye ndiza babheje imali ukuba Christa McAuliffe waba fan of Remington Steele, kwaye fan of Laura Holt.
