Barbara Feldon (born March 12 1941 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American actress and model. She graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 1963.
She was most famous for her character Agent 99 in the long running television comedy series Get Smart, starring with lead Don Adams. When she was cast for the role, she was previously famous, although anonymously, appearing on a tigerskin rug in an advertisement for hair lotion.
