Classic Mission Impossible has used female guest IMF Agents since season one (because let's face it, Cinnamon was awesome but she couldn't do EVERYTHING.). Season one had Mary Ann Mobley, Martine Bartlett, and Ertha Kitt make appearances as Female IMF Agents. There are a couple of Female Guest IMF Agents in season three (played by Joan Collins and Lee Grant) but they were most heavily used in season 4, after the producers fired Barbara Bain at the end of season 3 but didn't create a "femme fatale" regular series character to replace her (although they did come pretty close with Lee Meriwether as Tracey, who they never gave a last name to for some nutty reason. Tracey appeared in 6 episodes). Barbara Anderson as Mimi Davis, ex-con turned IMF Agent, appeared in 7 episodes in season 7 (due to Linda Day George being on maternity leave). Marilyn Mason and Elizabeth Ashley also appeared as IMF Agents in season 7.
So, to cut a long story short (too late for that, Maria), who was your favorite Mission Impossible Female Guest IMF Agent and why?

I think that Lee Meriwether was the most competent and accomplished of the female guest agents. But I have always had an admiration for Anne Francis as Gillian Colby in the Double Circle episode (season 4 episode 10). I remember her fondly wearing her all-black stealth outfit (hot!!) as Honey West, private detective, just four years earlier.

I remember watching Honey West a few years before leaving for Ireland (basically my parents had a huge fight and she decided to pack up her belongings and children go home to mother). Her mom just happened to live in Dublin, Ireland.
