Somebody's entered her shop, but this puzzle's not about him. It's about the dame, and her mode of transport.

For 1 point, identify this young beauty, and the vehicle with which she is most readily associated.

Partial answers will be answered with 'incomplete', so be sure to answer all parts of the question, if you'd like the point.

Poor lass. No attention in the lower ranks.

Pros?

Is that shop (and therefore the puzzle picture) in a TV show?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #4 on:** August 31, 2011, 03:16:15 AM »

Indeed it is!

Well-known actress; became typecast after donning a less-urbane look.

Did she have a career in movies too after that?

Nothing of note

She did star in one well-known musical during the period she was otherwise tied to her typecast boob-tube role. I can find no record of her appearing in any theatrical releases after that musical.

Was she in "Grease"?

Elizabeth Berkley?

No. The musical I referenced was made in the 1960's

No, not her

No - what other roles (an an actress) is she know for?

We are asking the questions...

Seriously, Sally Eaton was a whack-job from Hair, when went even further into the hippy stratosphere when that crap musical finally died.

While we're on the subject of hair, our puzzle girl is better-known as a blond.

Another day; another clue.

The shop in this picture was not part of the world in which her typecast role existed.

In the role for which is by far the most well-known, she would not have been seen in this particular setting, nor in this type of garb, not with this color hair.

Could she be Barbara Eden and her Barris-modified 1969 Pontiac Firebird?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2011, 04:22:58 AM »

No. Her typecast character had no supernatural powers.

streamliner · « **Reply #20 on:** September 08, 2011, 01:57:24 PM »

She does resemble Donna Douglas as a brunette. Is it she?

Yes! Locked for you to identify the iconic vehicle with which she is forever connected.

Here's Donna (at about the 2-minute mark) in an episode of "Bachelor Father", from whence the screen cap came.

It's just gotta be the Barris-modified 1926 Oldsmobile Model 46 Roadster that she rode in from the mountains of either Missouri or Arkansas or maybe Tennessee, to Beverly. Hills that is...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2011, 04:01:28 PM »

Bingo!

And, to stop the debate it before it starts, no, young Elly May Clampett's skills with critters did not constitute a "supernatural power".

An interesting shot with her in Twilight's Zone accurately named "Eye of the Beholder".
