Stefanie Powers's Quotes

• I would have had a child with Bill, had he been able to. I just wanted to have a little more of him. But he had a very unfortunate infection due to a botched-up vasectomy which could not be reversed.
• [on the Natalie Wood homicide case] I won't comment about that. I won't even bring it up as an issue. It doesn't bear discussion. It is a non-issue. What happened happened, and the rehashing of it is generally done by people who wish to get some money from it.
