Powers melts a little when we talk about The King and I. She is starring as Mrs Anna in the first 11 weeks of the touring production which launched in Edinburgh at the weekend.
Powers came to fame in her own right in the TV spy spoof The Girl From U.N.C.L.E., but is best known for Hart to Hart, in which she and Robert Wagner were a glamorous crime-busting couple.
The Foundation was the brainchild of Powers and Sunset Boulevard star Holden, with whom she lived for almost a decade until his death in 1981 in an alcohol-related accident.

The cape was only used briefly as Goofy discovered the super goobers in a goober patch in his back yard which gave him real super powers.
Even though Super Goof is a super-hero spoof, the origin isn't actually that different from "real" super-heroes like Spider-Man, Metamorpho and Doctor Solar who also got their powers from freak accidents involving radiation, or Hourman's Miraclo which would give him super-powers for one hour.

The Japanese leave for home this week without a win or a point after going down with all guns blazing 39-26 to the American Eagles in Gosford last night to be saddled with the wooden spoon in Pool B headed by France.
The Japanese were caught cold by the bigger Americans and were down 14-0 after 11 minutes, but were within a point of the Eagles five minutes from fulltime with their New Zealand fly-half Andrew Miller falling short with a 51-metre penalty attempt in the 68th minute to hit the front.
The Americans finished the stronger with tries by left-winger Riaan van Zyl and hooker Kirk Khasigian in the final minutes to break their run of 10 consecutive World Cup defeats stretching back to their only other win in the tournament, also over Japan 21-18, at the 1987 Cup.
