I agree (almost) completely! A great list (although I never watched Petticoat Junction).

The 'girlfriends' on LITB always looked like the girls in my high school. Taking a glance at my yearbook they still do. ;D

Forget the braces and glasses...America Ferrera is one real woman who really "Have Curves."

Yes - if you see Ferrera outside her "Ugly Betty" costume (unattractive clothes and braces), she's very nice looking. And it looks to me like she's lost weight since Real Women Have Curves, which is an independent film she starred in 8 years ago.

Cool last week. I was just thinking about the women on Gilligan's Island. At my age, even Mrs Thurston Howll III is looking good. I was just kidding about Ugly Betty. My apologies. What about some of the women in some of the old TV Westerns such as Gunsmoke?
Am surprised that more women haven't weighed in.
 
All the good boys wanted Tina Cole AKA "Katie Douglas" to be their girlfriend. Or perhas Kathy Garver AKA Sissy from "Family Affair," for those who deemed Katie as "too fertile"
 
Somebody mentioned Donna Douglas (Beverly Hillbillies). That got me to remember one of the first TV shows she appeared in - the 1960 Eye of the Beholder episode of The Twilight Zone. It's about a woman in a hospital who is horribly disfigured, and they perform plastic surgery on her to make her less hideous, so she can have a decent life and go out in public.

You only see the characters in shadow and silhouette, you never see any faces. At the end of the episode, they take her bandages off to reveal the lovely Donna Douglas. Then you hear the doctors and nurses gasp in horror because the woman is still so disfigured. The surgery is a failure. Then the camera pans to the other characters, who are all hideously ugly...by our standards, which is the obvious point of the episode.

It scared the crap out of me when I was 8 years old, because I didn't see it coming. Douglas is only on camera for a minute at the end, and I don't think she provided the voice of the woman during the episode, though they give her a few seconds to react tragically that she's still so 'ugly.'
 
The woman under the bandages is listed as actress Maxine Stewart.

I've always thought the real give away in that hospital setting in "Eye of the Beholder" was at one point, a TV screen is shown and the voice announces that "our leader" will be speaking. That sounded like something from 1984 and Big Brother.

Not only was Tina Cole a real cutie as Katie Douglas, but she looked really sharp as one of the "King Cousins" with the blonde hair and go-go boots on The King Family TV series.
 
She was not a "hottie" at the time, but Sherry Jackson, who starred on Danny Thomas' TV show grew up to be a very beautiful woman in the 1960s and 70s. As an adult actress she is best remembered for her role in a Star Trek episode that also starred Ted "Lurch" Cassidy. Jackson was even featured in Playboy magazine I believe.

So I guess Maxine Stewart provided the voice of the 'disfigured' woman.

In retrospect, there were a lot of give-aways leading up to the 'shocking' unveiling of Donna Douglas - including the fact that you never saw any of the actor's faces until the end. Also, the hideous faces of the doctors and nurses at the end were provided by cheap looking masks. Twilight Zone was always a low budget show, and their make-up was not anywhere near state-of-the-art, even for that time.

When I saw the episode again later - probably in the 70s as a young adult - I had to laugh that I was so scared the first time. But I was only 8 at the time.
 
I well recall this episode of the Twilight Zone, and even the removing of the mask, but cannot remember that
the actress was Donna Douglas. Maybe makeup or hair made her look different.
The thing is, as I knew who she was from age 3, I have a hard time believing I didn't recognize her in a different role.

She's only in the last minute or so of the episode. I note that imdb doesn't list that role in her bio, so it's possible that she wasn't even credited for it. I only realized it was Douglas when I saw the episode in reruns during the later 60s or early 70s.

The kicker in "Eye Of The Beholder" was that at the end, she was introduced to a "horribly disfigured" man (who, of course, was quite handsome). He was played by Larry Pennell, the same guy who played Dash Riprock on "The Beverly Hillbillies".
