She looked a lot like Kim Novak! I always thought Vera Miles was beautiful, (as was, before all the plastic surgery, Kim Novak), but Miles reminded me of her the first time I saw this particular Columbo episode, which aired about a year ago, and actually airs right now.
She was quite a beautiful woman. Beautiful bone structure!! -

Yes, she was a beautiful woman AND an excellent actress.
She was way over made-up in the Columbo episode, with big hair in an unnatural shade of wig. Check her in some other roles you will find on Youtube where she was a very natural, subtle beauty even well into middle age.
IMO, she was one of the rare women who got better looking as she aged. Part of it was that the very stylized, every-hair-in-place look of the 50's gave way to a more natural look that accentuated her features.
