Stephanie Zimbalist (born October 8, 1956) is an American actress.

Zimbalist was born in New York City, New York, the daughter of Loranda Stephanie (née Spalding) and actor Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.

Her paternal heritage is Jewish, though her father had converted to become an evangelical Christian.

Early television and movie appearances include Forever, The Triangle Factory Fire Scandal, The Awakening (with Charlton Heston) and The Golden Moment, in which she played a Soviet Olympic gymnast. She co-starred with her father, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., in the 1979 TV movie The Best Place to Be, which also starred the late, Oscar-winning actress Donna Reed.


Television audiences came to know the actress best as detective Laura Holt from Remington Steele (1982 to 1987). Pierce Brosnan was her co-star in the romantic comedy-mystery series.

Centennial was a 12-episode American television miniseries that aired on NBC from October 1978 to February 1979. It was based on the novel of the same name by James A. Michener. The miniseries was produced by John Wilder.

The miniseries follows the history of the area of the fictional town of Centennial, Colorado from the late 18th century to the 1970s. The novel places the town at the junction of the South Platte River and the Cache la Poudre River. This is the general location of Greeley, Colorado.

Although Michener began his novel in prehistory, the series itself begins with Chapter 5 of the book which is entitled The Yellow Apron.

The miniseries was one of the longest (26½ hours) and most ambitious television projects ever attempted at the time. It had a then huge budget of US$25 million, employed four directors and five cinematographers.
