So I finally got a chance to flip though her book (actually reading quite a bit of it) for any RS mentions. There isn't much though the book as a whole though is a good read, she's had quite the life. She mentions PB and SZ as a couple of the many attendees over the years to her "Greed Parties" (they happen around X-Mas) and an instance with the lighting guys on High Flying Steele where confrotning her poor lighting with calm reasoned concern got her lovingly lit like a movie star for the rest of the show and this piece from pp 287
I thought I was being professional and concealing my feelings so I could get on with my work. Pierce Brosnan the Remington in Remington Steele wasn't fooled by my brave front. We were on set waiting for the crew to adjust the lighting for a scene when he turned quietly to me, "Life is so strange, Doris," he said, placing a loving hand on my shoulder. "Here I am waiting for the arrival of my first child, and here you are saddened by the fact that your husband is dying."
It was the gentlest of touches, but it made a strong connection between us. He acknowledged what I was going through, something that most people felt very uncomfortable even being near, much less mentioning, but he was also putting it in perspective. I love him for that simple well timed gesture of concern.

Now I need to read it, although I did skim it for pictures and mentions of RS, PB, and SZ. To the best of my knowledge, she mentions SZ only once! In reference to the Christmas Greed Parties. At least, that's how SZ is listed in the index. There's a cute picture of SZ, DR, and PB together.
