MIAMI VICE
Miami Vice is an American television crime drama series created by Anthony Yerkovich and executive produced by Michael Mann for NBC. The series starred Don Johnson as James “Sonny” Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs, two Metro-Dade Police Department detectives working undercover in Miami. The series ran for five seasons on NBC from 1984 to 1989. Unlike standard police procedurals, the show drew heavily upon 1980s New Wave culture and music. The show became noted for its integration of music and visual effects. It has been called one of the “Top 50 TV Shows”. People magazine stated that Miami Vice was the “first show to look really new and different since color TV was invented”. (More from Wikipedia)
Natasha Shneider also worked as an actress, most notably starring as the female cosmonaut Irina Yakunina in the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey called 2010 (1984). In one touching scene, Shneider is shown in a clutch with star Roy Scheider during a particularly frightening part of the voyage to Jupiter. She also appeared in episodes of the TV shows Miami Vice and Hill Street Blues, sometimes being credited as Natasha Detente.
