Agent 99 - The spy
code name for Barbara Feldon when she appeared
as Agent 99 on the spy spoof GET
SMART/NBC/ABC/1965-70.
A former high fashion model, Agent 99 spoke
fluent German, French, and Chinese and displayed
a broad talent in the fields of music (she plays
the violin and harp), singing, dance and acting.
Her various aliases included:
- Melissa Westbrook
(an art patron)
- Miss Evans (Manicurist)
- Greta
Braun (wife of a rocket scientist)
- Conchata (a
flamenco dancer)
- Miss Primrose (Easter Greeting
Cards saleswoman)
- Susan Hilton (fiancée to
Victor Royal)
- Rosita Delgado (Mexican singer)
- Helen Blake (radio station employee)
- Ninna
(the maid for the Bulmanian ambassador)
The
show's producer David Melnick originally wanted
to call Feldon's character "Agent 69" (a
tongue-in-cheek reference to the sexual
position) but declined to do so knowing that
he'd "never get it passed the censors."
