Nita Talbot: Birthday Wishes to the Talented and Leggy Actress of HOGAN'S HEROES,THE COOL ONES, NIGHT SHIFT, GIRL HAPPY & THE JIM BACKUS SHOW

Talbot, a film and TV mainstay for almost 50 years, celebrates her 92rd birthday on August 8th, 2023.

Tall & smoky eyed, with a deep voice, Talbot was a combination of Lauren Bacall & Eve Arden, at best playing sharp tonged, cynical career woman or slinky, wise-cracking vamps.
