What's left behind the scenes
- Rumor has it that Agent 99 originally called herself Agent 69, but NBC censors felt it had a "sexual connotation." However, Barbara Feldon says that is not the case. According to her, the character was originally called Agent 100 "because she was 100 percent in everything," but screenwriter Buck Henry decided that 99 sounded more feminine.
- When it came to Don Adams' fee, he was given a choice between a substantial weekly salary with no profit participation, or a share of the profits with a lower weekly salary. He chose the latter and it paid off.
- Barbara Feldon is 5 cm taller than her co-star, so Adams either stood on a small pedestal to appear taller than her, or she had to slouch. Additionally, Feldon rarely wore high heels and tried to come to the set in flat shoes.
- Edward Platt suffered from constant back pain, which is why he didn't appear on screen at all in several episodes, and in some, he was filmed only while sitting.
- The general idea for the series was proposed by producer Daniel Melnik. As he later recounted, he wanted the main character's image to be based on the central figures of the James Bond and Pink Panther franchises, which were popular at the time.
