Before this thread migrates to the bottom of the page and then off the edge to become shrouded in antiquity, I wanted to mention at least one I Spy guest star. I’m quite fond of Antoinette Bower as Shelby Clavell in her too few appearances on I Spy. (Were there really only two--Crusade to Limbo and Return to Glory?) Shelby, the department factotum, had a great rapport with Kelly and Scotty. I could sit and watch her banter with Kelly and Scotty over “glass pants” and per diem unto the next millennium. She had her job to do, and wouldn’t budge an inch when it came to department policy, and yet she also was clearly very fond of them. In one of the episodes Kelly is trying to get her to go out with him, and I think does succeed at last, though you get the feeling that Shelby isn’t overly susceptible to Kelly’s charms, which counts for her.
I can’t find any photos of Antoinette as Shelby. Her biggest claim to pop culture superstardom is probably her Star Trek appearance in Catspaw as Sylvia.
Here is a more recent picture of Antoinette.
Barbara Luna has a web site with a number of photos she took with other Star Trek folks (“babes” and otherwise). While the theme is Star Trek many of the people involved were also I Spy “babes” (and otherwise). They include Antoinette Bower, Joanne Linville, France Nuyen and Michael Forrest. I guess Michael Forrest is the “otherwise”. I was going to grab the relevant photos and put them here, but I couldn’t, so instead here is the link to the entire page.
