About this listen

Cynthia Bemis Abrams sits down with actor and singer Stepfanie Kramer at the Paley Center for Media to revisit her trailblazing role as Sgt. Dee Dee McCall on Hunter (1984–1991). Together, they unpack:

  • The cultural legacy of Hunter and its Reagan-era action show peers
  • Kramer's reflections on fame, aging in Hollywood, and leaving the series
  • Her influence as a feminist TV figure and enduring global fan base
  • Behind-the-scenes production realities
  • Life after Hunter: music, stage, and staying connected to fans
  • Honey West, Police Woman, Cagney & Lacey and Hunter - how they reveal progress

Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering Kramer's work anew, this episode explores the power of representation, resilience, and navigating fame as a woman in a male-dominated genre.
