Sunday 27 December 1998 on CBC
Poor Baby Ollie is again being handed about after he is left on the Murray's doorstep. Hoping to reunite Ollie with Maida Flynn, his mother, the children devise a plan. However their plans are not to be as Perry's Aunt Thom and new ‘friend' the Madame Marlena shatter the plans.
She won $64,000 on the classic game show The $64,000 Question. The category she won it in was William Shakespeare.
(edit)
She was married to Burt Nodella, producer for 47 episodes of Get Smart. Their marriage lasted 11 years.
(edit)
Barbara's Get Smart character, Agent 99, was named 'most stylish secret agent' at the TV Land 'Hall Of Fame' in 2004.
(edit)
Andy Warhol painted a pop-art quad-portrait of her in 1965.
(edit)
She likes poetry, studying and 'living life'.
(edit)
Barbara: (about the real-life responsibility in staying with one's spouse) Marriage takes work, but so does living alone. One of the things you have to work at is to have enough human resources and to plan ahead... be willing to take responsibility for making the arrangements and building the bridges. People will walk across the bridge to you, but they probably won't build the bridge, and once you accept that, then you can have a very full life.
(edit)
Barbara: (on how Don Adams created the role of Agent 86) And that was then buttressed by that tremendous energy that he had and an intelligence that was quite different to Maxwell Smart.
(edit)
Barbara: (on meeting new friends other than just actors and/or actresses) I wanted to meet people who were outside the business. In Los Angeles, when you're successful in some way, you kind of forget the rest of the world. Here, there are doctors, lawyers, psychiatrists, a lot of other worlds. And I wanted to live among people more. I live in this old house with other people. I like going downstairs and saying hello to the doorman next door.
(edit)
Barbara: (on her on- and off-screen friendship with Don Adams) He had this prodigious energy. Working with him it was like being plugged into an electric current.
(edit)
Barbara: There are tens of millions of people living alone now. There are more people living on their own than there are living in nuclear families today.
