Would You Believe These “Get Smart” Factoids?!

We Know You Wondered This…

For two people who worked so closely together for such a long time, you would wonder if there was any steam between them when the cameras weren’t rolling. Indeed, Barbara Feldon was the younger, sexy female counterpart to Don Adams’s character. Their platonic partnership soon turns into a budding romance that leads to marriage and children throughout the duration of the show.

But was it like that in real life? Actually, no. Feldon told Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the two were actually just great friends: “Don was very nice, but we had no relationship. But Agent 99 and Max had a relationship. So the minute we were in character, there was this absolutely no-holds-barred communication between us. Later on [after the show ended its run], Don and I became really, really sweet friends.”
