Honey West - Girl Detective


Anne Frances is Honey West, girl detective.  A short lived crime show that aired on ABC's 1965-66 season based on pulp novels written by Gloria and Forest Fickling under the pseudonym "G.G. Fickling". Honey West was one of the first female private eyes to appear on television.  Aided by her man-Friday Sam and her cute ocelot Bruce she solved crime and judo chopped bad guys to the slammer all the while decked out in leopard print dresses and sexy black jumpsuits.  Not to mention she had some pretty swell gadgets such as a radio lipstick case, a garter belt gas mask, and tear gas earrings at her disposal.  Honey West was America's answer to Brittan's The Avengers.  Emma Peel she is not but Honey West is one lady private eye you don't want to mess with.  xoxo
