That took a lot of work, and to some degree it probably still does (as far as she can still do it). People in that business are work horses, and will drive themselves to do anything to keep on working, and keep on earning. She will probably keep working until they take her off the stage in a body-bag.

I agree with a previous poster.
All time hot appearance was her guest starring role on The Andy Griffith show.

Her and Dawn Wells were the two I wanted to snuggle between growing up

There might have been others as sexy, but I'm not sure they mixed it with the equal parts sweetness she did, IMO.
Funny tidbit out her figure (which I agree was incredible!) - she was told at the start of her career by some moron in the business that she wasn't ample enough on top. Who was she being compared to - Chesty Morgan!?
Fan of Barbara since I was a 4 year old in 1970!
No blah, blah, blah!

i'm watching that episode right now

Just today I saw her in an episode of The Andy Griffith Show looking amazing. She was doing the cutest southern accent, too.

Thank you!5b4 I

I saw her birth year listed as 1934 somewhere, most likely here on IMDb, that's why I assumed she would be 80 this year.

You're right. I don't know why was I thinking her birth year was 1934 instead of 1931, which makes her nearly 83 now. Thanks.
Actually, for years, her birth year WAS listed as 1934, but I see that has been changed to 1931. A lot the actresses back in the day kinda fudged their ages by a few years. In some cases, we don't learn their true ages until they die. It happens with some male actors too, but not to the degree of the actresses.

Nearly? Eighty is in her rear view mirror.

This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.

I couldn't agree more. She was incredibly gorgeous and sexy in
