Smart. Very Smart

by Mark Marvel

Of all the spies in television history, Barbara Feldon, as Agent 99 on Get Smart, was the most clued-in to her time. In a TV world literally divided between KAOS and CONTROL, 99 took the ‘60s cover girl undercover, creating a style that outsmarted the stereotype of the female snoop as mere accessory. Well, hold on to your shoe phones. A whole new Get Smart is now in production, starring original cast members such as Feldon and Don Adams, along with a second generation of gumshoes. (It’s set to air this fall on Fox.) Detecting something about our own time that could use a shot of style, we asked Elaine Hendrix – who will play Agent 66 on the new weekly sitcom – to, well, let us shoot her in fashion that really gets smart.
