  • This is fascinating information, likely shot through with Hollywood legend as many of these anecdotes are (Danny Thomas catching her in a commercial and casting her? Really?). What was more likely the performance that led to Feldon being cast as 99 was THE MAN FROM UNCLE episode "The Never Never Affair," in which Feldon played a proto-99 wannabe spy opposite Vaughn, McCallum and guest star Cesar Romero. A wonderful episode that all Feldon fans should seek out.

  • My goodness she has a beautiful voice!

  • Would you believe 9 people work for khaos

  • My God, she's taller than Craig Stevens!!

  • A beautiful woman to be sure, but I think it's her facial expressions, and sexy voice that really makes her so appealing to so many people.

  • A beautiful and wise soul. She is much more than a pinup, but good lord she was easy on the eyes.

  • My first crush...

  • Yes she is still very beautiful, had a big crush on her too.

    Gorgeous

  • @chessman19 I think every red blooded American male breathing had a crush on her including me.

  • Love her voice. It's so soothing.

  • Would you believe that noone dislikes this video? Not a single solitary person! .....ok would you believe just one person? ..... how about 7?

  • viewer 197 197

  • Barbara Feldon is still hot !!!

    

  • I'm getting sick of these god d----- Kelloggs Frosted Mini-Wheat ads popping up every f------ where I turn.

  • I'm still in love with Barbara Feldon. I always though she was so sensual and sexy!

  • Nice video clip

  • The eyes, the smile, the voice...

  • Wow. Still a crush and still, that last line, if we would treat each other as if we were television stars shows not only insight but her her class

  • 99 was all mine!

  • 99, what a darling woman. Oh, Max!

  • Without doubt, there is only one 99 and that is our Barbara, she and Don were a perfect match

  • A beautiful lady in every way.

  • Siempre me gusto la 99... que belleza!! lovely woman...

  • i thought this was Dr pHIL WIFE

  • Great looking and a ton of class. Her looks and voice are very reminiscent of Karen Carpenter.

  • I'd give my left nut to take her to dinner.. 

  • @JoseJalapenoo Lol @ your comment because I lost my right nut in 19/99.

  • I loved watching this show as a kid growing up in the 60s

  • Love 99

  • The talented Barbara Feldon is just as beautiful, suave, and foxy today as she was back in the 60s. What a dish!

  • Pure style - Beautiful lady

  • What a beautiful woman. I met her in a bookstore in Manhattan where I was a bookseller.  She was so sweet, a real lady and beautiful. I told her I know I know u from somewhere and she just giggled. I didnt realize who it was until she left. Barbara Feldon. Love you!!

  • Not only an enjoyable actress, but when she hosted the talk show 80's Woman, showed intelligence and class, something members of The View could learn from.

  • @postalpawn: Amen!

    Speaking of intelligence, here's a bit of BF trivia -- back in 1957 she won $64,000 on the TV show "$64,000 Question". Her specialty category was 'Shakespeare'.

    Unfortunately, I never saw "80's Woman" and clips don't seem to be online.

  • I was a teenager when "Get Smart" was on TV and, like all my peers, I was completely in love with Agent 99. Barbara Feldon was one of the earliest sex symbols and she was just perfect.

  • You're still hot, hot, hot Barbara......Marry me?

  • @JudgeBluey If I weren't happily married already, I'd fight you for her. :-) She is a lovely woman and -- from all accounts -- a wonderful human being.

  • Something tells me she liked Don in REAL life back then too. I've always thought that.

  • is this show in reruns anywhere? It just occurred to me that I"ve never actually seen it.

  • Barbara Feldon circa 1966 - a total fantasy girl.

  • She's got perfect skin but why do my cheeks hurt when she talks?

  • anne hathaway? if she wasn't a waif & not have more hair on her arms than a guy---maybe--lol

  • Anne Hathaway is hotter

  • @xbx2010 Anne Hathaway is gorgeous, and one of my personal favorite actresses these days. That said, I still think Barbara Feldon was the best 99.

    For me, it wasn't just about sheer beauty, either. Barbara Feldon's mannerisms as 99 really struck me. There was something about the way she spoke, gestured, walked, etc. She just gave off this aura of elegance. That lady was, and still is apparently, a charismatic woman.

    That's just my opinion though; you are absolutely entitled to yours.

  • @DigitalOberon I agree. Anne Hathaway is pretty and a damned good actress, but she just didn't bring what Barbara did to 99. There was a quirkiness about her that was so endearing.

  • I love The agent 99 and I'm a huge fan of Get Smart series!!!

    If you like Barbara Feldon or Agent 99 from Get Smart series, visit my website, look for barbarafeldon webnode, there you will find many photos, videos and information about the actress Barbara Feldon

  • I was in high school in the late 80's/early 90's where I watched Get Smart reruns on Nick at Nite....and had a huge crush on Agent 99.

  • WOW I HAD THE HOTS FOR HER BACK THEN!!

  • I love her last lines in this : )

  • I liked Agent 99! She was so dedicated to Agent 86.

  • Barbara is a class act all the way, and what a natural beauty.

  • Barbara Feldon, Lynda Carter and Barbara Eden - in my opinion, the top three most beautiful woman in all of my tv watching memories - - and all of whom have aged quite gracefully too....

  • @jzerony With help, but yes, they look beautiful.

  • @jzerony you forgot to include Elizabeth Mongomery ( Bewitched )

  • Tonight, 6/27/10, was the Caramoor Gala in Catona NY and Barbara Feldon was seated at my table. The poise and grace of this woman is already legend but has any woman, ANY WOMAN ever looked better at this age?!?! Almost literally stunning. One almost wonders if 'her daughter' is masquerading as her a la 'Fedora'.

  • Luv agent 99. She always had ring for everything.

  • Funny they mention her background on the show.

    I remember her mother visiting sometime during either pregnancy or birth of the twins. I don't remember that 99's mom had a name. Someone can let me know if they remember.

    Best villian exchange from the show:

    Smart: It's my old enemy the Craw!

    Claw: Its the Craw not the Craw!

  • @Shiftworker247: Last night I watched the episode where 99's mother is kidnapped. Hilarious episode. She reminded me of Bette Midler in "Ruthless People".

  • Still a beautiful lady.

  • Yes! The "Get Smart" series are one of my favorite comedies! Thanks Barb!

  • Wow. Now I have a crush on her all over again!

  • I'll have to watch the 'The Making of Get Smart'.

    If agent 13 had the job of hiding in trash cans, that meant the agent numbers were progressive.

    So agent 99 outranked 86!

  • She still looks so wonderful. we love you barbara.

  • Barbara Feldon, Barbara Eden and Dawn Wells timeless classy ladies

  • I just love her! She was perfect as 99. This is what beauty is inside and out!

  • Huge fan of Barbara Feldon and Get Smart. RIP Don Adams.

  • Barbara Feldon you were and still are one of the most gorgeous, classy, elegant, and funny women to ever be on T.V. Get Smart is one of the all time funniest shows ever.

    Missed by that much!!! LOL

  • She has such a unique personality and charisma. There really hasn't been another actress like her. In the Get Smart movie 99 was an annoying know-it-all nag. When Barbara helped Max out in the same way, she made it seem sweet and caring.

  • there aren`t very many memorable couples on tv, Scully and Mulder are another one

  • Still Sexy

  • Hey Barbara, Thanks for being part of my generation, and to Don Adams, RIP.

  • A special lady.

  • she was hilarious...in get smart and with marty feldman.... beautiful and funny!!

  • 99 was my favorite actress ever

  • she is a great commedienne...her roles with Marty Feldman are a scream

  • I don't believe there are many (if any) tv or movie roles that could only be played by one actor (or actress); but if ever there were such a role, "Get Smart's" "Agent 99", as played by Barbara Feldon, was it !

    In my opinion, it was a role she was born to play ..............and the phenomenal chemistry she shared with the late, great Don Adams, was plainly, and simply, TV MAGIC!!!!

    Thanks for the memories, Ms. Feldon !!!!!

  • "oh, 99, I love you..."

  • Her voice is as sexy as she is, imagine hearing that as the host of a radio show.

  • I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Ms. Barbara Feldon in November 2009, and she was gracious enough to have her photo taken with my son, and then a second photo with bot my son and I. She is a remarkable lady. She is beautiful from the inside out. Definately 100% class. I will always love her. My son (17 years old) loves all the 'Get Smart' reruns. We went to see the movie, 'Get Smart', starrinf Anne Hathaway, and he didn't like her. He was disappointed it wasn't Ms. Feldon in the movie.

  • She is very hot.

  • yeah, she's way cool. how graceful, poised, sexy, fluid and well spoken she is. I agree. this lady is pure class.

  • "Classy" doesn't even begin to describe this woman... I always loved Barbara Feldon (sexy and sweet all at once.) Now, I love her even more- how many times do you hear an actor or actress who actually has good things to say about a role they played on a television series? So often, you hear a great deal of crying about how a character limited their lives forever after, but Ms. Feldon has only great things to say about the role of 99 and the show. God I love this woman!

  • What a dish

  • The hottest 76 year old I've ever seen. Well, she is the hottest 99 too!

  • omg! she does NOT look 76!

  • She Looks Much Younger!

  • What a joy to watch! Barbara Feldon is one CLASS act. Pretty, smart, witty, talented....and PERFECT as "99". Thanks a LOT for sharing this with us! So many of us remember this lady QUITE fondly! :)

  • 76 years old? She doesn't anywhere near that! She's still got it! She looks fantastic for her age

  • She's 76!...still quite a babe!

  • I had the hots for this classy dame when I was in middle school and high school, shucks I still got the hots for her and I'm only 23. Thank God for re-runs and the DVD collection. My God, she was yummy in 1965... wait a minute, my dad was born in '65. Who cares, she looked and looks amazing in this interview!

  • Still a babe!!! 99 is a 10!

  • MMmmm yeah! 99 u lookin' good and still refined as ever! fknguy is like every guy when i say...ms. feldon is as beautiful now as she was back in the day!

  • Words of wisdome at the ed to live a life full of good memories.

  • What a great interview with a VERY refined lady! I especially enjoyed Ms. Feldon's closing comments....a class act from start to finish! Get Smart was so totally entertaining......loved it then and now...

  • Thank You For the joy and those wonderful words of advice

    that you given to me..Ms.Feldon.

  • Barbara Feldon is still so cute she could give Sandra Bullock lessons in it. Amazing. She was the best "straight woman" in comedy since Gracie Burns, too. 86 would have been a Zero without 99.

  • cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin...

    '99' was my first crush.....and 38yrs later..she's as beautiful as she ever was.

  • @globalpilot76 Lloyd Cole! Yes!

  • @globalpilot76 Nice reference to the Lloyd Cole song "Perfect Skin". Ah, all the memories are flooding back. It's a Saturday night You Tube Nostalgia Night for me! Themes to M*A*S*H* and Get Smart are the best! /sniff sniff

  • @globalpilot76 WOW!!!! she was my first crush too.

    her and Mary Tyler Moore

  • What a classy lady!

  • I was 8 then, now I'm 47, my son is 9. We both love 99. She was so young & beautiful in the first episode. Thanks the whole team for all the wonderful jokes - over and over again.

  • Barbara, you were and still are such a beautiful woman, God bless you.

    Thanks for all the great memories that you and Don Adams provided to us all.

  • how does one say: thanks - I watched you - hey !!

  • still the best cheeks of all time

  • What a sexy and sweet and gracious lady. A real class act.

  • To quote Judas Priest in one of their songs from ROCKA ROLLA, when referring to a hot babe... she was a "definite 99!"

  • Lovely, classy, warm, intelligent, well bred. I think MTM got all the big attention in those days, they are quite similar actresses.

  • I saw her on 5th Avenue here in New York walking with a pal a month ago. I did not have the guts to say "Hi, I adore you!" heh heh

    Still very attractive too!

  • amazing just how many actors actually live in NYC, I once ran into Jakie Mason walking down restaurant row 46th street and couldn't remember his name, I said: I know you I've seen you on t.v. before but can't remember your name lol

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, Barbara Feldon is a lovely woman. She still looks like what she was over 30 years ago. I love her hair.

  • My first "crush" on a TV actress was on Barbara Feldon. That was in 1966, when I was a mere six years of age. In the intervening decades, how is it that I have fallen all to hell, while Ms. Feldon is more beautiful than ever? Love that smile and those great cheekbones -- but what truly radiates from her is enormous intellect and humor. A class act.

  • Great lady and like some of you guys said, A lady down to earth. Even at her actual age she's gorgeous.

  • One of the sad aspects of television. Roles kill your future career. Barbara did an episode of McMillan & Wife and did a performance so good it SHOULD have jump started her career in the drama field. But casting directors saw her and saw 99 so they took their roles elsewhere.

  • Wow, she's beautiful and I love her hair, it's so gorgeous!

  • A classy woman.

  • She is such a down to earth, wonderful lady. It's too bad you don't see actresses of her caliber these days..

  • Barbara is stunning! Class act!!!! Adorable and shines like a true flawless gem!!!

  • It was terrible she was so badly type cast she never worked again. She had real star quality in Get Smart. She was born to be in front of the camera and the perfect foil for Max.

  • Where have actresses of her beauty and grace gone ?

  • Julianne Moore comes to mind. Gwyneth Paltrow, Hallie Berry....but they are few and far between.

  • @sirbrek --- have you ever heard of Charlize Theron, Hali Barry, Selma Hyack? What about all the "Bond" women? Geeze, there are hundreds of beautiful stars out there... Do u live under a rock?

  • Barbara is so awesome! It's so nice to see actresses with such sweet, friendly personalities! ^^

  • Agent 99 and Mrs. Steed

  • if you are referring to The Avengers....bronlokis, it was Mrs Peel not Mrs Steed.

  • I'm old enough to remember watching the pilot episode of "Get Smart." I was rolling on the floor laughing. Idiot agent Maxwell Smart jumps in a cab and yells "Follow that car!" and spends the whole ride clinging to the side of the cab because it took off before he could shut the door. He spends the episode with the obvious babe Agent 99 and is so clueless that at the end when she takes off her hat for the first time he stares at her and says, "So you're a girl!" It was a great show.

  • Barbara, was, (and is), a total package of sexy appeal, beauty, class, and talent. I guess I mimic most other guys that were young men or boys back then, because she was was first "crush", the hottest chick around. Funny thing is I look back now and think I had great taste even back then...

  • She went to my highschool.........

  • I had a crush on this woman. @ the age of

    9. She looked fabulous.....

  • Simply beautiful--one of TV's top leading ladies of all-time, bar none!

  • You are 100% right................

  • Barbara aged real well. When "Get Smart, Again!" came out, she almost looked the same 20 years later, but in obviously the late 80's/early 90s look. Barbara Feldon is one of a kind. We miss Don Adams.

  • Barabara Feldon in Get Smart and in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, is the ideal woman that every man wants to marry.

  • Sally Ann Howes was the woman in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang not Barbra Feldon.

  • "Why Max?" of the series BELONGS to this woman. Her clips, and maybe some of the character CHIEF that says "Why Max?" should be, or perhaps already have been, featured towards "WiMax" commercials.

    Maybe that's a tough find.

    Somewhere, someone maybe has seen some such comic clips online.

  • I loved this girl in the 70's. Even one of my girl friend resembled her. Watching this I can see what that girl friend looks like now. She's about 10 years older than me...but she's still a babe!!

  • In the '70s, a beautiful woman pulled in for gas where I was working. Her BMW had California plates and she wore a mink coat. She came into the station to keep warm and we spoke for a while. She was such a friendly, outgoing, beautiful woman - and I didn't even recognize her until she handed me her Bank Americard! I saw her name on the card and I said, "Are you THE Barbara Feldon?!"

    "That's me!", she said.

    I put $11.00 into the till and I kept both copies of her autographed credit card slip.

  • Agent 99 is one of my heros...She is smart and professional, always dresses modestly and tastefully. She is a good role model for any young woman.

  • omg, bless her for her last comment

  • Lady, you got it going on. Who'da thunkit - this is the first time I've seen her in 40 years.

  • I was in the audience of the Smother's Brother's Comedy Hour back in the 60's when I was about 14 years old and I got to watch Barbara Feldon ride a beautiful horse around on their huge stage and Barbara's legs just kept going and going. The best I've ever seen. She is the most beautiful sitcom actress ever. I wish more ladies in today's world had her friendly personality. If anyone has that video clip, please upload it.

  • A truly wonderful lady and a great talent. Beauty and class!!

  • She is truly a classy lady. What a pleasure to see her again after all these years! :)

  • I watch Get Smart just to drool over Barbara Feldon.Gorgeous woman

  • Yeah, she was so beautifull and elegant.

  • I love Barbara Feldon!! She is so sweet, beautiful and intelligent!! :D

  • Starting at 1:16, they talk about the commercial that really put her on the map, but it's spliced so you don't get the real story. The way the have it leaves you thinking the commercial was for a carpet. Revlon didn't make carpets. The commercial was for Top Brass, a men's hair cream. They were big then- Top Brass, Brylcreem, Vitalis, etc. They still make them, they come in tubes like toothpaste. That's the commercial where she said, "Go get 'em tiger!", which makes no sense for carpets.

  • It's the way they've edited the video

  • She's a class act, no doubt.  Seems to me that she has a near genius IQ.

  • She's so cool, She also is great in the film "SMILE."

  • i cannot understand this... agent 99 was Anne Hataway ? wasnt she > ? She

  • Anne Hataway was agent 99 in the new movie, but Barbara Feldon was agent 99 in the sixties original series Get smart.

  • Read a book dip shit.

  • 24addict08: Yes, those big, sexy eyes,pouty mouth, oh.. and that sultry voice! WOW.

  • She is pure class.

  • The Get Smart movie sucked completely. That character who was supposed to be 86 was so blah. What a disgrace to one of the best sitcoms in history.

  • i hate when they try to remake classics like this!

  • I always had a crush on 99. She still seems like such a lovely and gracious lady.

  • I think she's still a doll. I always liked this gal.

  • she was so hot in the 60´s

  • "It's made my life so sweet. When people recognize you it just makes the day sunnier. It's like if we were just more polite to each other, and smiled at each other more, without recognizing each other from television, how much sweeter life would be, wouldn't it?"

  • I'm still kinda pissed that she didn't do a cameo in the movie...that would of made that movie so much better...

  • she sort of had a cameo. the picture anne hathaway takes out on the plane and shows steve is a pic of barbara feldon

  • she lives alone and likes it

  • Everyone who says "She still looks great!" needs to bring their monitor back to Best Buy for a refund. Her cheeks are caved in. There's a line that runs from each ear to the corners of her mouth, like Nicholson's joker. Everything above that line has been paralyzed by Botox.

    It's sad that Hollywood has women thinking they need to do that to themselves. This woman is so charming, she could do this interview with a bag on her head, and I'd hang on every word. Instead, I stare at her "mask".

  • stop ! stop ! im peein in my pants!!

  • Sexy in the 60's... still sexy now. So she's had a little "work" done I think she still looks great. It's too bad that some women feel the need to mess with nature and I think she would have looked great without it. However, as a man, I know I can't understand the pressure that so many women face as they age. So I say, If it makes her feel better, then who are we to "tsk"? She'll always be #1 on my list!
