Barbara Feldon (born Barbara Hall on March 12, 1932 in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania) is an American actress and model. Following some work as a model, Feldon's break came in the form of a popular and much parodied television commercial for "Top Brass," a hair pomade for men. Lounging languidly on an animal print rug, she purred at the camera, addressing the male viewers as "Tiger." (from Wikipedia)

Feldon was cast as "Agent 99" in the spy comedy series Get Smart opposite Don Adams. She played the role for the duration of the show's production from 1965 until 1970, and was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 1968 and 1969. Feldon's subsequent work includes appearances in Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, Lorne Greene's Griff, Cheers and Mad About You.

Get Smart is an American television comedy series that satirized the secret agent genre. Created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, the show starred Don Adams as Maxwell Smart, "Agent 86", and Barbara Feldon as "Agent 99" of CONTROL, a secret American government counter-espionage agency. (from Wikipedia)

Max and 99 are sent to a made-for-TV South American country to rescue the deposed former president. Part of their cover involves posing as famous Spanish dancers.

Agent 99 decides to resign and marry a wealthy businessman who has proposed. Neither she nor Max seem quite up to admitting their true feelings for one another, but Max gets hired as the fiancee's bodyguard to investigate him. Of course, he finds out her fiancee is an enemy KAOS agent.

Art and entertainment come together in a weird way here. Barbara Feldon and Andy Warhol were featured together in TV Guide (of all places) in the March 5-11, 1966 issue. Thanks to the Ghoul-a-go-go gang's Barbara Feldon archive for the scans.

Almost a quarter century after creating the role, Barbara appeared again as 99 in this TV movie. She's clearly older, but still quite attractive (that sexy voice was the same as ever). Don Adams looks about ten shades darker than in the sixties:

Would you believe that I have been exploring the African continent for 10 years?
No.
Would you believe that I play 16 holes of golf with Jack Nicklaus every day?
I would not believe that, no.
How about two rounds a week of George Hamilton's spray on tan formula?

Here's an issue of TV Guide that highlighted the much anticipated marriage of Maxwell Smart and 99. (November 9-15, 1968)

When 'Get Smart' was on TV, the Dell publishing company had a fairly big line of comics based on licensed TV properties (mostly really lame; the Get Smart comic is no exception). The majority of the photo covers featured Don Adams with a dog "partner." Perhaps the publisher thought little boys weren't ready for Barbara's sex appeal? Anyway, she did appear on two covers, shown here.
