Flashbak.com: The *Women* from U.N.C.L.E.

[Benzadmiral]

Even if you're not a "Man from U.N.C.L.E." fan, this page will set your, ah, motors humming: http://flashbak.com/the-women-from-u-n-c-l-e-19510/

(Trivia: Each of the entries for an actress on that page has one or two, and in one case four, stills from the U.N.C.L.E. (or "Girl from U.N.C.L.E") episode she was in -- except one. Which?)

You're welcome! Now you see a good part of the reason why I remain a fan of this show even in adulthood.

Three hundred views, and no guesses on the trivia question?

I never watched UNCLE much, maybe I should have!

Lots of familiar faces and curves from the original Star Trek though!

WOW! Now those gals look BEAUTIFUL!
Ahhhhh, the good old days. Women had a look then that still sets my heart to beating.
Next time though...give a better warning. I nearly soiled myself!! (In a good way).

And the girls (ah, that good old-school word) weren't only window dressing, not in every episode. Carol Wayne does a neat little Marilyn-like shtick; Marlyn Mason's character in "The Fiddlesticks Affair" gets her chance to be what she calls "depraved" when she helps Solo and Illya rob a Thrush casino; Leslie Parrish's character is essential to the plot of her ep; and Joan Collins plays a Bronx stripper and a baroness, and then gives us the baroness playing the stripper playing the baroness! Loads of fun as well as great scenery.

Yes, "Trek" was two years later, and so a lot of these actresses were still active. Of this group alone, at least 8 showed up with Kirk, Spock, & Co.

Yes! I'm a young guy but what happened to this. Leaving some to the imagination. So much better.

Now it's all trashy and everything out there. Take me back... with my iPhone though please.

The trivia bit is this: Mary Ann Mobley appeared in an early episode of "Mission: Impossible." That's what her second still is from. Steven Hill, there with her, never appeared on U.N.C.L.E.

Though, if TV had been into crossover appearances in those days, his Dan Briggs would have made a fascinating addition to the U.N.C.L.E. universe. . . .

("Good morning, Mr. Briggs. The blond man you're looking at is one Illya Kuryakin, an agent of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. He is apparently adored by millions of fangirls all over America. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find out the reasons behind his puzzling popularity, to discredit him and all current NBC shows, and get everyone to watch only CBS.")

You got that right...when a sexy woman dresses like a lady, and only hints at what is underneath....well, that works pretty darn good for me. Today...with everything stuck out there in your face...and these fools taking pornographic selfies.....just not an attraction for me.

Yes! Just to put things in perspective for those of you who were too young(or not here yet!) to watch it the first time around: the show became a *Huge* hit(a big surprise to those concerned too!)its first year. No cable TV yet, only 3 networks, there's probably no real counterpart to that today. When The Beatles came to the USA(remember them?), the #1 celebrity they wanted to meet was- Robert Vaughan.

I was 11 when it started, 14 when it ended, watched most of 'em, & by the time it was over was very interested in the Babe Of The Week.

Thanks for the post, BA.
