'Hart to Hart' Cast: Where Are Robert Wagner and His Costars Now?

From Aug. 25, 1979, to May 22, 1984, sleuthing socialites, a butler and a dog called Freeway made murder their hobby in the series Hart to Hart. And for five seasons, Robert Wagner, Stefanie Powers, and Lionel Stander did just that — but what has happened to them now that it’s been 35 years since the finale aired?

Even though the ABC mystery TV show only aired for five season, that wasn’t the end for the trio, as it was followed by eight made-for-television movies, beginning in 1993.

The premise of the popular show followed self-made millionaire Jonathan (Robert), and freelance writer Jennifer (Stephanie), who are the Harts — “a globetrotting married couple with a talent for finding mysteries wherever they go. And even when they’re uncovering thefts, espionage and assorted skullduggery, they still find time for romance.” Lionel played the pair’s butler, Max.

Robert Wagner, 89

After self-made millionaire Jonathan Hart, Robert, 89, made it a point to do a number of things. He costarred in eight Hart to Hart TV movies (with Stefanie), a trio of Austin Powers films and has made dozens of TV appearances, including on Hope & Faith, Two and a Half Men and as Anthony DiNozzo Sr. on NCIS.

He and wife Jill St. John will celebrate their 30th anniversary next year.

Stefanie Powers, 76

While wife Jennifer Hart was one lady who knew how to take care of herself, Stefanie has been a woman taken with doing miniseries, à la Mistral’s Daughter and Hollywood Wives, as well as appearing onstage in productions of Love Letters (with Robert), Applause and Gotta Dance. She also starred in the BBC series Doctors and wrote an autobiography, One from the Hart.

Lionel Stander (1908-1994)

Following the Harts’ butler Max, Lionel served himself well. He’d reprise his Golden Globe–winning Max in a few TV pics, starred on the series The Boys and appeared in the films The Transformers: The Movie and Cookie before passing from lung cancer. Said Stefanie, who had her own battle with lung cancer, “He was a fabulous man.”
