Barbara Feldon was born in Pittsburgh as Barbara Hall on March 12, 1941. She moved to New York City to become an actress and ending up winning the big prize on the game show, $64,000 question in 1957. She invested her money and her life in an art gallery, marrying her partner, Lucien Feldon in 1958.
Feldon had a successful career as a model and commercial star before being spotted by Buck Henry, who wrote the part of 99 specifically for her. Feldon signed on to do the pilot and just three more episodes, but after liking the pilot, she committed to starring in the series.
Feldon's greatest post-Smart success has been in commercial voiceovers, although she's been busy as an actress as well. Living in New York City, she recently performed a one-woman show off-Broadway, even singing her famous hit, "99".
