I really enjoyed this, you did a wonderful job with this lovely tribute to Lee Ann. I have to tell you my "Catwoman story". When I was 16 (it was 1977!) I was working at a McDonald's in Charlotte, NC,. It wasn't busy, the middle of the afternoon. The place went mysteriously silent, and when I looked up, who had walked in but the incredible Lee Meriwether! She was stunning in black, knee-high stiletto-heeled boots, tight jeans, and a slinky black turtleneck. She was accompanied by two beefy fellows wearing sunglasses. I've certainly never forgotten that day!

I'm 65. For me, the women of this time period are the most beautiful. Excellent presentation.

Lee is a fabulous human being....I have loved her for ever. Thank you Lee for so much entertainment and integrity.

I've always thought Lee is one of the most beautiful ladies I've ever seen. She's in her late 80s now and still looks good . Those eyes 👀!!!!.

I worked with Lee and she is truly a wonderful person - smart, funny, friendly and what a singing voice! Good bless you Lee .

I had no idea what a big career she had. Thanks for summing it all up. A gorgeous and sweet woman!

The Time Tunnel was FANTASTIC!!

Lovely woman. Great career. I saw more of her than I realized as a kid.

Lee and I were part of the same theatre company years ago here in California, TheatreWest. We never got to act together but we would sometimes see each other in the lobby during shows. She always had a smile on her face, was so friendly to everyone and no one in the company ever had a bad thing to say about her. Thank you for doing these videos. Love your channel.

Lee Merriwether was always my favourite Catwoman. She was great in the Time Tunnel as well. I’m glad she is doing well and in good health 💗

Time Tunnel Batman Star Trek Barnaby Jones Mission Impossible. Miss America what a career and what a beautiful woman

I know that a lot of you have made suggestions and a couple of you even guessed that my next video would be on Al Lewis ( he has a great biography made by his son ) so that will do for him. I find it more fun to make documentaries on people that do not already have one made. Or if they have limited info out there. It makes it more surprising for us all 😁 Please leave some comments. I have ready every single one, even if I could not reply or hit like right then. I check the list throughout the day on my phone while working. Don't tell the boss🤣 💜

She seemed to get better and better looking the older she got. That Star Trek look was gorgeous.

Oh yes Time Tunnel was one of my favorites and so was Lee Meriwether.

Wow. What a great career and life this lady had. I never knew this about the first Catwoman.

😀 Great subject this time around. Have always been a fan of Lee Meriwether, since I was a boy 👦. I still can just remember watching her in The Time Tunnel.And loved her even more as Cat 🐈Woman in the 1966 movie. Nice to know that she is still with us today 😀😊.

I remember watching Lee Merriweather on Barnaby Jones in the 1970s as a child.I remember her doing some commercials too.I have to say,Lee was always beautiful. I never saw her as a young woman. She's stunningly beautiful!!! Her extraordinary looks made her perfect for both acting and modeling. 💛💛💛💛

I loved hear about the life of Lee Meriwether, what a lovely woman! Thank you for another great video!!! 🌼

I loved this episode! Lee Meriwether is such a positive role model for me (I’m in my sixties, lol) I loved watching her, and especially remember her appearances in Batman and Star Trek. TV was so great back then. Long live Lee! ❤

You knocked another one outta the park, my good man! Your editing is getting better and better! Thanks once again for your hard work and awesome videos. I can't get enough of them!

I'm 65, so I love to hear about the actors that were a part of my childhood - Thank you for putting these great videos together!!!

Oooh good morning from Australia and thank you for this!

Lee Meriwether is one of the most beautiful women in television. The best Catwoman period.

It’s always so weird seeing Buddy playing a serious role. I know he did loads of great work, but still, for me I always just see Mr Clampet ❤

All these shows mentioned in these videos bring back so many personal childhood memories ..

What a gorgeous woman. I was the little boy watching Batman and the young man marveling at her beauty.

That's nice. Sounds like she had a very sweet and supportive family

I loved this one, great job!

She answered the front door to my friend’s house across the street, when I was about 9-10 years old. She was friends of my friends’s parents. She was pretty and very nice.

I loved it when she was on the Star Trek episode "That Which Survives." I believe that her character's name was Lucinda. Epic.

Another fantastic episode!!! Thank you

Thanks for this warm and excellent compendium. Always been a huge fan of hers.

A Classic, lady of class! Great presentation sir. Thank you from Alaska

Well done. Wonderful telling of a wonderful and talented woman.

I loved this video! Thank you so much.

Great episode, thanks!

Can you imagine Catwoman and The Incredible Hulk crossover? It's just amazing to know that these two people knew each other way back when.

That was a very enjoyable video. I’ve always loved Lee Meriwether and you did a great job. As you always do. Positively PURRfect!

I just can't get enough of your fabulous videos!!!!! I've watched them multiple times. Can't wait for Al Lewis....I'm a huge Car 54 fan.

A very impressed woman and actress, amongst the few that we have had.

That Which Survives(Beauty, BTW) is my most favorite episode because I was sick when it was originally shown, and slept all night through the show. I had to wait a year for the rerun.

So happy to see another great video ! Since Bill Bixby was mentioned I’d love to see you do one on him. The man was everywhere in the 60s, 70s maybe even 80s and I’ve always liked all his shows.

She was the best CATWOMAN!!! I grew up on TIME TUNNEL, STAR TREK, and LAND OF THE GAINTS. Had forgotten about her being on MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. I was 9 or so when I first saw her...... Loved her ever since. Still a fine looking lady!!!

4D Man is great, I had no idea that was Lee Meriwether.

beautiful woman with wonderful voice and very friendly

I'm 64 years old and I've watched all of these shows or most of them throughout my childhood in the 60s and 70s and every time I watch your videos I always find out something new it's incredible how you come up with all this information that I've never known thank you for doing what you do and please keep doing it there's probably millions upon millions of people who also want to know everything about these old TV shows thank you again Bob Queens NY

I recall she came to our county fair for an appearance, maybe she was helping judge a contest. Would have been in the 70's in Victorville.

THank you! We so much enjoy the Cool Classics!

Another brilliant video, good to see Lee still alive and happy. Barnaby Jones, Time Tunnel…. Happy childhood memories of watching those shows.

Wow, I remember some of those shows! Especially Star Trek: "I have come for you!"

Well done. I'm sure she'll be very happy with this video if she sees it. Lovely person.

Another cool classic, I loved this one. Thanks for making it 🥰👍🙏

You always do such a great job on your videos. They always bring a smile to my face.

Thanks for this video. I have always loved Lee Meriwether. 💝

Another cool documentary! Thanks for entertaining me and teaching me about this amazing woman!!!

Another fab episode. Can't wait for the next one.

Thank you for posting this! I've always loved Lee Meriwether.

An enchanting beauty, a great person and a talented actress. Thank you for yet another magnificent life & career documentary.

Great job as always, CC!

Thanks for another great video of someone who I love to watch growing up. And you're right about the Eartha Kitt video that was awesome. ❤

Incredible & outstanding life & video. Thanks C C!

I met Mrs Meriwether, gosh, I guess it's been 30 years ago now. I was doing Oliver and she was doing Picnic. I had gone over to watch her after my show was over and brought her some flowers backstage and she was just the most lovely and gracious lady! She sat and talked to me, some random 10 year old kid, while she removed her make up and gave me some advice on stage etiquette, presentation and projection. General theater things like that. I had just been accepted for understudy roles for a Broadway musical and I wasn't sure I wanted to begin a trajectory that would dominate my life and certainly inhibit my ability to do the things I really wanted to do with my life. She turned around and looked me dead in the eye with that mom look they get and told me that what I'm supposed to do with my life is what makes me feel like I'm more and more who I always was supposed to be. She probably didn't mean it the way I took it, but since she gave me that advice, I've pursued the study of history, religion, psychology and anthropology with vigor and fervor, but what I'm most proud of and think is most who I am is a wife and a mother of 8 children, none of whom would be here without that one piece of advice: be who you were always supposed to be. God bless her, she's a good lady.

I had her on a flight back in the late 80’s at TWA. What a nice lady

Back in the 60s and 70s I didn't watch TV much, but I remember Mrs. Meriwether and she was GREAT. She has led a fairy tale life. So smart and beautiful. She deserves greatness and the wonderful things that come her way. This posting reminded me of her and how great she is/was. All the best Ms. Meriwether!

So glad to hear Lee Meriwether is doing so well. I did not know the Miss America stuff at all.GREAT VID!!

Julie Newmar was the first Catwoman. The movie was released between seasons 1 and 2. The studio chose to make the Batman 1966 movie without Newmar, because Newmar had a back injury, which she recovered from to appear in season 2. (Eartha Kitt took over in season 3 because Newmar was working on _McKenna's Gold_ )

You have so much incredible detail on all your videos, it's always such a pleasure to watch!

Wow! What an incredible body of work! Well done, you! This was a fantastic video. Thank you.

I am so happy for her. What memories I have watching her as a kid.

The sad thing about TIME TUNNEL's cancelation is that the show was doing well, but it also took up 3 sound stages (two for the Tunnel complex and one for whatever time period they were visiting) and the studio went throw a change of ownership and they wanted to free up the sound stages to concentrate on films not t.v..

Wow! As a kid I had no idea there were three actresses that played Catwoman, thanks CC for filling me in. 😎👍 Another great one ma dude.

This was great I remember Lee when she was in Star Trek and Barnaby Jones she was really good I’m glad to see that she’s doing well because she was always our favorite thanks again you’ve answered all my questions appreciate you

She looks terrific!

Thank you , so glad to hear of her happy life. Great stuff

One of the classics!😊

Just a Beautiful Soul! Thank You Lee for all the wonderful memories, god bless you and yours

Thanks for the video.

This was a really great video. I appreciate all of the work you put into creating these. I often spend extended stints on IMDb researching my favorite classic television actors. I always learn so much more about them on your channel. Thank you. 🙏

Wow! That was impressive! There's lots of things I never knew about Lee. Thanks for doing a great job with the research & clips.

When it comes to strolls down my tv, and movie memory lanes Cool Classics is the best.

Remarkable. As a baby boomer, I watched all those TV shows, but I had forgotten she was in so many other series apart from TIME TUNNEL and BARNABY JONES. Thanks for reminding me.

Great job as always!

Yay! You are back. Love your videos and you have the most wonderful voice.

I first knew Lee Meriwether from Barnaby Jones, as I grew up in the 70s, but as an sf and comics fan, I naturally caught her in Star Trek, The Time Tunnel, and Batman. Not too long ago, I discovered the movie 4D man, but while it's an interesting movie, I don't think it was a great role for Lee. At least, I didn't think her character was all that likeable when the focus was on her character. But she was apparently on a lot more stuff than I realized. Furthermore, I didn't even know that there was a "New" Andy Griffith show, or a later Munsters series that she was in.

Well done as always !

I'm AMAZED at your research!!!. I hope you do well. I learn so MUCH of these great people. Thank u so much

I remember Catwoman she was beautiful 👍

Thanks again and best wishes from Columbus Ohio USA

If you’re looking for suggestion, how about - Anna May Wong who had a very interesting and groundbreaking movie career.

Great to see you back. Thanks very much for your hard work. I really like a happy ending also. I have to admit I am a bit misty eyed at the end. Thank you.

Love watching your "Cool Classics" from Australia. So Informative and really well researched. Very happy to have found you :)

Came across your channel and have binge watched every episode. I was born in Missouri the same year as you. I really enjoyed all the blasts from the past. It reminded me how much I loved the Friday Fright Night theater . I then cued up a Vincent Price Marathon. I loved watching his movies. They still hold up. Some of the other scary movies that were shown on FFN I have rewatched and was like, I cannot believe this scared me. I remember all the Seals and Croft shows...Chips...and EMERGENCY... remember that one ... "Rampart...". I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos!

Another puuuurrrrrrfect episode!

You have done two of the women who have played catwoman.. Eartha Kitt and Lee Merriweather but what about doing one on the original woman to play the cat?? Julie Newmar and im still waiting on The Rebels Nick Adams!!! Really like your channel

That made me smile. Thanks!

Great to See her ...She is Lovely and Beautiful and Very Talented!!!

Thanks for your time.

A great actress. Thanks for the video.

One of the most beautiful women I have EVER seen, particularly in her Star Trek appearance.

So glad you did this video. I'm watching the Time Tunnel on the Decades (or whatever it's called) channel this weekend. Loved that show when it was new and still like it a lot even though it's soooo outdated technology-wise.
