Stephanie Zimbalist, 73, wife of actor Efrem Zimbalist Jr, dies
wazzzy
Stephanie Zimbalist, the wife of actor Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and mother
to actress Stephanie Zimbalist, has died. She was 73.
She died Monday at home in Solvang, Calif., after a long battle with
lung cancer, said husband Efrem, best known for his roles in the
television series "77 Sunset Strip" and "The F.B.I."
The couple had one child, actress Stephanie Zimbalist, who starred as
Laura Holt in the 1980s television show "Remington Steele."
Efrem Zimbalist described his wife of 51 years as extremely shy and
quiet with people, but someone who communicated easily with animals.
At one time or another, the family owned everything from apes to lamas
to deer, as well as a collection of farm animals.
"She loved deer and she was in many ways like a deer," he said.
Her affection for animals also surfaced in her artistic pursuits,
which were many. She sculpted in clay and bronze and created elaborate
animal-themed tapestries and needlepoint pillow covers.
"She did animals almost exclusively in needlepoint," he said.
"Roosters and cows. Her work was very colorful."
The two met on a blind date in New York. An avid horsewoman, Stephanie
had a premonition she would be thrown from her horse the next day.
"I bet her 50 cents she wouldn't," he said. "I think I won and had to
go back and collect and we went from there."
In addition to her husband and daughter, survivors include two
stepchildren, Nancy and Efrem III and four stepgrandchildren,
Kristina, Effren IV, Alexis and McNair.

You know, as a joke I used to always refer to the daughter as
"Stephanie Zimbalist, Jr."
Now I know that she actually WAS a "junior."

Same here, but I knew the actress couldn't be 73. When I saw "wife of
Efrem" it was clear, this was the actresses mother. I think you did
fine, it's the best you could do since both mother and daughter had the
same name.

: Maybe you should have labeled her, 'Stephanie Zimbalist, Sr.'
The Zimbalists on the male side have an interesting record
of namesakes each prominent in different fields.
Efrem Sr.,musician
Efrem Jr.,actor
Efrem III,magazine executive
I don't know what Efrem IV plans as a career.

Actually, Efrem IV had his wedding announcement in the Sunday New York
Times a few months ago - I forget what his profession was...

Whatever the hell that means, that's what he does.

In a newsgroup widely known for its bad puns, that was the
baddest.

Here you go. Seems to me he's doing better than most

Not sure what you are saying here. (Seriously, the words could have

Anyway, IMDB says, in the "full bio" of EZ, Jr:
Spouse (3)
Loranda Stephanie Spaulding (1962 - 5 February 2007) (her death) (1 child)
Loranda Stephanie Spaulding (12 February 1956 - 1961) (divorced) (1 child)
Emily Munroe McNair (22 December 1941 - 18 January 1950) (her death) (2 children)
Stephanie Jr, was born October 8, 1956, so it seems pretty clear that she
is daughter of Stephanie Sr. (If you do the math, you can figure out, well,
you do the math...)
P.S. I never could figure out people who divorce and then re-marry the same
person. What kind of psychosis does that reveal???
(Also, it looks like they were divorced for a matter of months. Maybe it
is a tax thing - you sometimes hear about people who figure out that they
will pay less tax filing separately than as a married couple. One imagines
a couple getting divorced every December and remarrying a month later...)
