Recognize her? Leave your best guess in a comment. I’ll drop a hint if necessary.

Here’s a hint: She’s best known for her work on television, but not as an actor.

ReplyDeleteYes, that’s Brett Somers, best known for her years on Match Game. She was married to Jack Klugman and played Oscar’s wife Blanche in several episodes of The Odd Couple. This screenshot is from the Naked City episode “Vengeance Is a Wheel” (March 15, 1961).
