I liked her although most of her lines were "Oh Wilton!"

We are losing all the great TV babes of my youth. :-(

She was ONLY 66? Jesus - she MUST have been a CHILD when she made "F-Troop"!!!!

I thought she'd be AT LEAST 80 now!

Yeah, she was what 15 or 16?

She was less than 2 years older than me, which may be why I thought she was pretty hot back then.

My childhood crushes are going away.

Ken Berry was 30, Melody Patterson was 15, and Wrangler Janes was supposed to have the hots for Captain Parmenter.

Yikes.

Now when I think of Corporal Agarn and the old guy leering at her, it kinda feels really gross!

She died pretty young because she got badly injured a few years back.
