Agent 99 - The spy code name for Barbara Feldon when she appeared as Agent 99 on the espionage 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), and 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."  See also - Agent 86 and CONTROL
