    At 40 I was divorced, children grown. At first, being alone was not fun, but I noticed I could come and go as I pleased, no one to wait on or clean-up after, no complaining, no arguments, no drama, complete control of the remote. Freedom... I like it!

      Same for me, except I enjoyed the peace and quiet of alone and then developed a lot of relationships with friends. Didn't make the leap for years, then wished I'd done it sooner but I wasn't ready. I always watched what she was wearing on Get Smart, great fashion model!

    I was divorced at age 42 and moved to another city where I worked and raised four daughters. At 90 years of age , I look back at the past 48 years and realize how much I appreciated my freedom to live my life my way without having to compromise constantly. I have no regrets Had I met a man that I loved, I would have lived separately. Freedom was contentment!
    Get Smart was one of my favourite shows of all times. Barbara Felton was classy, sweet and funny. A great actress!

    At age 45, after 3 marriages I gave up relationships and tapped into my inner Jeremiah Johnson. At nearly 70 now I have lived alone for 25 years and it has been the happiest time of my life. I adore it. I can have solitude any time I want it and can be with friends if I want that. For me it is the best of both worlds.

    I think she made the right move. Once you get married and that person turns out to not be who you thought they were, you realize "This could happen again" and shy away from marriage. I also feel it can be very freeing to stay alone. Your own place and you can do what you want to do. Some people are quite happy being with themselves. (I would say adding a dog or cat really is the icing on the cake) Blessings Barbara~

    I’m about to turn 50 in a few weeks, never married, no kids and am finding contentment in the single lifestyle- i’m so glad we’ve come to a place in the culture where singles are not looked at with as much contempt as being losers who failed- no we just see relationships as the reality that they are instead of the fairytales that we were fed as teens and young adults- i would love to have a loving marriage with a good man and i’m still open to that but i’ve taken a lot of years to get mentally and emotionally healthy and I can’t be in a relationship where i would have to sacrifice all that hard work to build a healthy self esteem after the abuse i suffered in my younger years - i deserve a mature, loving relationship and nothing less- and so does everyone else ❤

    Some people marry and have kids for all the wrong reasons anyway. They project an image of perfect wedding and family bliss but the truth is that many aren't even that happy. Some stay together for the kids and because a divorce is expensive. I respect the fact that she's living life on her own terms regardless of what others might think. Good for her!

    I have a hard time imagining a man that would be Barbara’s equal - mentally and emotionally . She is such a superb human being . In interviews one can tell she is the master of engagement. She. Is so emotionally, intelligent that she seems to bond with the interviewer, and the conversation is fascinating and she loves poetry and she likes the inner workings of of acting and what that means and and she loves art and museums and and she is fascinating to listen to. She would make such a really interesting friend. You’ve learned so much, but she has no ego and she’s not stuck up and just a beautiful human being in touch with her emotions and she’s able to communicate these beautiful woman, but I think that that beauty is half of the beauty that’s what’s inside..

      Don Adams, who would have been 💯 April this year, passed prior to his 86th, was 82. Chaos agents wouldn't allow Don to live to 86 and more I'm sure, along with reaping other havoc. If Don was here, he would be on to them and use his 👞 📱 to report in.

    Having gotten married in my late 30’s I was happy but my wonderful wife being bi-polar decided I was the reason she was unhappy and decided to end it. After several years I realizes I was happy single and that the women I met either had too much baggage or were just looking for a meal ticket. At turning 70 in a week I’m happy living with my dog and living my life as I want. I understand Barbara’s reasons for staying alone. She was one of my favorite actresses in the 1960’s. Wonderful actress.

    I live alone and love it as well! After an "early" (just in my early twenties) unsuccessful marriage (no children), I was open to the idea of another marriage, but that did not happen, and I fully accepted it as "the way it is." As the years passed, I discovered that I could take fun trips by myself (visiting Hawaii a few times) and I always met good company along the way. Over the years, several people have asked me if, "I hated being alone." My answer is always the same - "I love it, as I can do whatever I want, when I want." (I have many dear friends whom I see). Well, I do also have a very pretty and lovable black and white cat, "Mabel," who can be a bit bossy at times, but I give her a full pass, and life is good. Congratulations to the very lovely and classy Barbara Feldon - I'm hoping that we see her turn 100. Cheers to all!

    Alone is NOT the same as lonely! Last time I heard her was when Gilbert Gottfried (R.I.P.) interviewed her for his podcast. She still had the same sexy, sweet unique voice, and that's how I'll always remember her. I think she even baked Gilbert and his co-host cookies (they interviewed her in her home), so that's how sweet and classy she is.

    Some years ago, a friend of mine, who worked in an electronics store on East 86th Street (interesting coincidence), watched Barbara Feldon walk in the door one day. He is a fan and immediately attended to her. She wanted to buy a computer, and what impressed my friend was that she was something of a geek. She new a lot about systems, modems, etc. and challenged my friend's knowledge for a good 20 minutes before buying, what she thought, was the best computer for her. My friend was always impressed by Barbara's looks, but after this encounter, he was impressed with everything about her. She was charming, thoughtful, smart and inquisitive.

    I was always a fan and found this video refreshing; I'm getting Barbara's book. As a divorced NYC male with no kids, it took me a minute to stand away from others' projections and realize how happy I am "alone." Many of us prefer not constantly conceding or debating what's for dinner or what movie to see or where to travel, etc. etc. Having friends and relatives in life are great, but when it comes to home life, I'm happiest with no one.

    I've always loved her in GET SMART. I was fortunate enough to meet her in the 90"s at a Pennsylvania resort.
    She was very friendly and easy to talk with. It is nice to see that she has found a way to enjoy life on her own terms and without apologies. I hope that she continues to enjoy life to the fullest.

    Long live Barbara Feldon!!!! I never married, lived alone and then took care of my mom and now that she's gone I'm alone again and I have never been unhappy being alone!!! I'm having lawyers working on my Italian dual citizenship and hoping to get back to Europe for an extended time...I was able to work for 6 months in London in the mid-80's after multiple trips to the UK and Europe. I always traveled solo!

    Barbara's sense of comedic timing was absolutely perfect in Get Smart as she played "straight man" to the bumbling Maxwell Smart (Adams). I'll always remember her as that beautiful, fresh, young and talented actress whose inescapable logic acted as a foil to Don's dim-witted antics. They had a great on-screen chemistry.

    It’s not bad being alone. Maybe it depends on the type of person/personality you are.
    I understand exactly how she felt about making your own decisions and not having to compromise constantly. You can live where and how you want to, and go where you want. When I was married my husband refused to get on a plane or ship, limiting my ability to travel and see parts of the world I always wanted to see. I can go wherever I choose to go now. I think as long as you have friends to visit with from time to time you’re never really alone. I value the time with myself, reading, watching shows/ movies I like, traveling and creating art. Time has zoomed by, but I don’t miss the companionship.

    Barbara Feldon my live alone, but she will never be a lone. She has friends and fans that will see to it she is never a lone. I was 12 when Get Smart aired. I loved the show and is was her Agent 99 that made the show. It was Agent 99 that carried the punchlines that make me laugh. If i had the chance to tell her what her charactor did for me as a child. She was a working woman in the government and to me i could identify because ny mom and grand mother worked. Success comes in many forms. She was good at what she did. A model, an actress and she is good at it.
    For 90 she still looks great!

    As a man, she was a beautiful woman to watch. As a consumer of comedy, she and ‘Max’ were a standup team. Ss many belly laughs. Her manner - face , voice , gestures - was so expressive . Kind of a mirror opposite to Goldie Hawn’s ( and Maxwell’s) ever-straight expressionlessness.
