At 58, Stefanie Powers has appeared in Hollywood movies, on the British stage, and in TV series such as Hart to Hart and the Bafta-nominated Doctors, and has still managed to find time to marry twice, have a nine-year affair with alcoholic Hollywood legend William Holden, and learn seven languages, including Swahili � "I�m constantly trying to reinvent myself. I have a positive attitude to life, otherwise I�d roll over and play dead."

Born Stefania Federkiewicz in California, her Polish parents divorced when she was eight, and her father subsequently married five times � "I don�t know anyone who in some form doesn�t have a dysfunctional life. What is functional?" She has been married twice, first to actor Gary Lockwood aged 21 � "I was a virgin � just, I think" � and later to polo-playing millionaire biologist, Patrick de la Chesnais, whom she divorced in 1999 - "I was probably not meant to be a wife. I don�t think I�ll do it again."

RT�s Andrew Duncan quizzes actress Stefanie Powers about her lifelong love of Africa, the ageing process � "Darling, there�s nothing I can do. If there was some new plastic-surgery technique that would make me have an epiphany, I�d do it" � and why acting is a "very odd" business.
