Major loosie alert!!
Barbara Feldon as Agent 99 in the US TV series, Get Smart. The episode is 1.19. "Back to the Old Drawing Board."
Over the course of its run (1965-1969), this comedy show served as a cultural spoof of the spy craze sparked by the James Bond films. Because it was a spoof, very little of its plots, settings, and characters could be taken at all seriously. Feldon was certainly cute enough to sustain being repeatedly featured as a bondagette in a number episodes with silly "perils" of all kinds...actually, she appears bound and sometimes gagged in many, many episodes.
The most important contribution this series made to entertainment history was its dedication to giving featured and cameo roles to actors and actresses in the huge constellation of the Hollywood TV and cinema worlds, thus serving as a paycheck and a "photo op" for many who needed to keep their visibility quotient high...but especially for those whose day in the entertainment limelight had passed!
