Wow, that's fantastic nkh!! I didn't think much of Kathy Kersh as a moll, but Eileen O'Neil and Myrna Fahey easily make my top 5! Barbara Nichols who was a bit "past it" by the time of Batman. Funny, since she was exactly Adam West's age. Search her name on google, images, and it will give you an idea of what her career was like. :roll:

Image

She was however on a rare video-tape episode of 'Twilight Zone'. She plays sort of a Marylyn Monroe character. Myrna Fahey was to me moll-wise, second only to Jill St. John. Blaze was fantastic!

Image

I just now read a piece about the TV series 'Father of the Bride' (1962-63), where she took issue with the idea that she got the part on the series because of how much she resembled Elizabeth Taylor. She called her Elizabeth whats-her-name! Funny, Back when the old FX channel was airing Batman episodes, Jeff Probst, who became host of 'Survivor', compared her to Elizabeth Taylor, but in a really derogatory way. Not sure why he did that? I thought she looked great. Sadly she died at 40. Her last role was in a TV movie called, The Great American Beauty Contest(1973), airing the year she passed away. You can find it on youtube if you look. It's interesting, because she apparently got her start in beauty contests! Her IMBD listing has this pic. Which I find kind of nice!

Maybe "resembled" is a better word. Which is subjective. Like Barbara Nichols "resembled" Marilyn Monroe. Steve Bushemi "resembles" Don Knotts.

All the cosplay guys "resemble" Adam West! Yeah, sans costume, any one of them might be mistaken for a shockingly handsome 1960's 6 feet 2 bronze Adonis! :roll: Maybe. Myrna was a lovely girl. Look at the first pic on this video. She could almost pass for a young Elizabeth Taylor.

Thanks for sharing these. Eileen O'Neil is a favorite of mine as well.

Barbara Nichols was on a pair of my favorite episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies, where she played "exotic dancer" Chickadee Lavurne. Jethro falls in love with her. Those episodes are among the ones in public domain.

Funny you should use Don Knotts---Joan Staley played his love interest in "The Ghost & Mr. Chicken"
