Barbara Feldon's Real Birthday - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ClassicTVGal · 11-27-2007, 08:49 PM

Does anyone out there know Barbara Feldon's real birthdate? I have seen it being different things in some places. And I've seen that common with other stars, but 9 years difference or so? Come on!

On imdb.com it states: 1932 (Don Adams 1923)

And in a word search book I have that I flipped through today states that her birthday is March 12, 1941. And I think someone at the BF board on imdb even questioned her real age.

This would have her and Mr. Adams 18 years apart!

I just can't *see* it. (make sense? lol)

It's not something I *desperately* need to know, lol. [Not like I'm in school and doing a paper on her (at this moment), I have done that before with others]

There have been other celebs where you're not sure on their birthdays. Two examples: Jane Leeves and Katherine Helmond. (well year wise I mean)

I'm just curious.

Thanks!

It's hard to tell. All of the entertainment websites like IMDb, TV.com, etc. have 1932. WouldYouBelieve.com has 1941. Carl at WYB has connections with a lot of Get Smart people though, so he probably has the correct date. Barbara is the only one who knows for sure though, LOL.

Thanks, Carrie. Yeah. (haha)

But Don was really born in 1923?

Been here quite a few times in the past couple weeks. (And yes, I just noticed that little detail by his name) Thanks, Carrie.

1932 seems more reasonable- she won on the $ 64,000 question in the 50s (that series ran from 1955-58) and used the winnings to open an art gallery. It would be pretty far out for her to have done that as a teenager.

Cool... so she wasn't considered a "star" yet? I'm not sure when it began, I'm sure before hand, but when stars would win, their money went toward some sort of charity.

According to imdb.com (which can be wrong, lol) The $64,000 Question seems to be her first apperence for television.
