Rob and Laura Petrie were faves in our home from the very first shows in 1961. As a kid I always saw them as a perfect couple, sort of like JFK and Jackie. And when the unthinkable happened we still had the Petries with us.

Soon I wasn't such a kid any more and I began to notice those form fitting capri pants that Laura filled out so nicely.

a Petri Dish, that is...

but Laura Petrie was Rob Petrie's wife on the Dick Van Dyke show.



But I'd have to say "None of the above," and go with Agent 99 -- Barbara Feldon -- on Get Smart.

Sugar Babe on the Real McCoys was played by Kathy Nolan and I really thought she was hot. I also liked Rebecca, Daniel Boone's wife played by Patricia Blair who played a backwoods frontier wife who always looked like she'd just emerged from a Beverly Hills salon. And Veronica Cartwright who played Jemima Boone was luscious to me as a young boy in the 60s. I hated the Daniel Boone show but watched it for the ladies.

With a well placed look she could also look like either Laura Petrie or Samantha. The best of all possible worlds.

I never saw it.

It may just be a matter of personal taste, but she just looked kind of like a well-groomed, but otherwise hum-drum suburban housewife.

Her looks never did anything for me...

Carolyn Jones' first big movie role was in "House Of Wax' in 1953. She was very pretty and pretty talented too!

as the often tempestuous Audra Barkley in The Big Valley.







Or the amazing Stephanie Powers as agent April Dancer in the 60s series The Girl From U.N.C.L.E.? No one was sexier.





?aae402d4163f394116c3dd6e602f75682c526327


And even though she wasn't supposed to be that sexy in her role, when I was a kid I even had a thing for Barbara Hale, Perry Mason's secretary and girl friday Della Street.






I also remember having a crush on Nani Darnell, the wife and assistant of magician Mark Wilson on the 60s Saturday morning kid's show The Magic Land Of Allakazam. She always showed her legs which was a big deal to me then.






And I forgot the amazing Melody Patterson who played Wrangler Jane, the gun-slinging tomboyish girlfriend of Capt. Will Parmenter on F Troop. Part of the hilarity of the show was the unrelenting and blind adoration she had for Will, who was the most incompetent buffoon on Earth. She was ten times the man he was. At the time I thought she was the cutest girl I'd ever seen.
