Who were the babes on T.V. you lusted after while you were growing up?
April Dancer (Stefanie Powers)-“The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.” Mary Ann Summers (Dawn Wells)-“Gilligan’s Island” Barbara Gordon AKA Batgirl (Yvonne Craig)-“Batman” Audra Barkley (Linda Evans)-“The Big Valley” Elly Mae Clampett (Donna Douglas)-“The Beverly Hillbillies”
the characters played by Denise Nicholas and Karen Valentine on “Room 222”
the character Deanna Lund played on “Land of the Giants”
…and, a little later in life, Sonny (Donna Dixon)-“Bosom Buddies”
Monte Markham . . . Mmmm . . . He was on two series and guested on just about every TV series in the '60s and '70s. He’s still damn cute, too.
All those cute young doctors: James Brolin, James Franciscus, Chad Everett
John Robinson (Guy Williams)
Rob Petrie (Dick Van Dyke)
Foghorn Leghorn (OK, so I’m a little strange)
I can’t believe that no one has mentioned Marsha Brady (and if I have to mention what show, you deserve a dope slap). Sure, in the early seasons she’s a little young. However, as the series progressed she became quite the hottie. Maureen McCormic (who played Marsha) is still an attractive woman to this day.
Secondly, in the early days of “The Andy Griffith Show,” Andy’s love intrest was Ellie. I can’t remember the actresses name, but she was also the older sister in father knows best. Now, I wouldn’t exactly call her a hottie, but why Andy would give her up in favor of Helen Crump is beyond me. I’m sure that Andy cursed the writers for sticking him with Helen instead of Ellie for years there after.
Eva Gabor as Lisa Douglas. Quite the looker (particularly compared to Doris Ziffle and the other women of Hooterville - excepting, of course, the Bradley girls of Petticoat Junction). Besides, she has a great recipe for Hot Water Soup and looks fetching in a lingerie while scrambling eggs.
“New York is where I’d rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view,
Darling, I love you but give me Park Avenue.”
