Nita Talbot - Mainy

A mainstay mainy for us boomers was the sexy Nita Talbot. Best remembered for her reoccurring role as a Russian Spy in 'Hogan's Heroes', she seemed to always be playing either street-wise types or girls with accents.

She played the star attraction of a strip club in my favorite Elvis movie, Girl Happy in 1965 and encourages Shelly Fabares to 'take it off, honey!'. She did a lot of comedies and was even a space alien in an especially weird episode of 'The Monkees' where she dances around a crazy space ship (at high speed of course).

She popped up everywhere in the 1960's and 1970's. Lots of westerns, 'Gunsmoke', 'Rawhide', 'The Virginian', 'Bonanza' and 'Maverick'. And tons of crime shows like 'Columbo' and 'Rockford Files'.

Nita was never a huge star, but all us boomers adored her. So sexy and funny. She's still alive but not working as far as I can tell. We miss ya, Nita!
