Yes, very hard to believe that the lovely Barbara Bain now turns 88 already.
Miss Bain, with the pleasant Cinnamon Carter knowing nod practically defines 1960's fashion, class, beauty and intrigue, without having to say a word of dialogue in some of those "Mission: Impossible" scenes.
Question: Doesn't Barbara play a Nun in an episode of "Matlock?" Can't seem to find that on her any filmography, but somehow remember that her character secretly witnesses a murder from the back of a church, and then Ben Matlock picks up the trail from there to attempt to prove his client innocent.
