In her one-hour-and-ten-minute interview for the American Comedy Archives at Emerson College, Barbara Feldon talks about her start in dancing, music and modeling, and how that path lead her to acting. Feldon speaks about her first television role on East Side/West Side, and how it led to her breakout role as "99" on Get Smart. She describes her experience working with the late Don Adams, and discusses how she doesn't consider herself to be a comedienne or a star -- Bill Dana and Jenni Matz insist otherwise. Feldon discusses her novel, Living Along and Loving It, along with her literary inspirations, offers advice to those just entering the industry, and considers the question "Was it worth it?" Bill Dana and Jenni Matz conducted the interview on October 18, 2005 in New York City, NY.
