Getting Smarter: A Memoir

In this memoir, Barbara Feldon tells of her romance with Lucien Feldon Verdeaux, a glamorous European, whom she marries, unaware of the revelations about him that lay it wait.
Tucked into her dramatic and sometimes zany adventures with Lucien are her initiation into show business, a modeling stint during the Mod era, and the fun of working in Hollywood—especially playing Agent 99 opposite Don Adams in the award winning TV series, Get Smart.
Told with a sense of the comical, and viewed with a philosophical eye, Barbara takes us with her through the colorful ’60s on her journey from disillusion to compassion, from naivety to wisdom—getting smarter every step of the way.
