Everything to Know About Stefanie Powers: Marriages, Children, and William Holden Connection
Powers walked down the aisle twice, both times choosing men who matched her fierce intelligence and worldly curiosities. Neither marriage resulted in children.
Her first high-profile union took place in 1966 with Gary Lockwood, best known for his starring role in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Their six-year marriage coincided with explosive career shifts for both actors. The pressure of maintaining two high-velocity Hollywood careers created distance, leading to an amicable divorce in 1972.
More than two decades later, Powers married Patrick Houitte de la Chenais, a French count and businessman. The couple wed in 1993, dividing their time between Europe, North America, and Africa. The union lasted six years before ending in divorce in 1999. During this marriage, Powers became associated with her husband's extended family network in France, though she had no biological children of her own from the relationship.
