These mainstream DiD scenes had an impact on me from childhood to adulthood:
1. Superman (TV show) - Phyllis Coates and Noel Neill as Lois Lane frequently b&g'd. Though their gags were OTM, I wish a little tape or cleave action would have been used now and then.
2. Girl from UNCLE (TV show) - my puppy love of Stefanie Powers, a truly beautiful DiD. Nice mix of tape and cleave gags.
3. Dragnet (TV show and TV movie) - seeing Thordis Brandt b&g'd from head to toe was a wonderful treat. Three other fellow DiD's were also shown in still photos similarly b&g'd. Great tight cleave gags! The pause button on my remote was worn out. Plus, the actress portraying the hogtied "corpse" in one episode dressed up in a short skirt, hose and heels was attractive. I wonder how that actress held up after numerous takes.
4. It Takes a Thief (TV show) - scenes of the girl in the harem outfit struggling on the floor as well as the one with Julie Newmar are classics. Robert Wagner must have enjoyed both.
5. Matchless (Movie) - Italian actress bound and tape gagged by Patrick O'Neal's beautiful accomplice. You can see the DiD's lip outline underneath the tape. I fall in love with tape gags immediately!
6. Dog & Cat (TV show) - the debut of Kim Basinger who was briefly b&g'd, though outshone by a guest star in a tennis outfit. Yum!
7. Chase (TV show) - one episode with a mom & daughter tape gagged, and another with a group that included a couple of women bound and tape gagged with sheer adhesive. That's when I developed a thing for sheer white adhesive tape as a gag...love barely seeing the lips underneath.
8. Hardy Boys (TV show) - actresses Stepfanie Kramer and Kim Lankford made their DiD debuts as victims of Valerie Bertinelli tied and sheer adehsive tape gagged, with a couple of cute bit players in the background. Kramer and Lankford would not stop there...they had a great future as DiDs on "Hunter" and "Terror Among Us," respectively. I just wish this scene would have had Valerie getting a similar come-uppance by Kim, Stepfanie and pals.
9. Barnaby Jones (TV show) - Brooke Bundy tape gagged and bound to a bed...nice closeups and struggle scene.
10. Terror Among Us (TV movie) - the mother of all mainstream DiD movies had it all: 4 actresses portraying and 2 dressed as flight attendants, tight bindings, tight cleave gags, an attempted phone call for help using a gagged mouth with a pencil on a touch-tone, high-heel slip-off, and hopping across the room. It seemed like a Harmony, FM, or Bedroom Bondage production. The actresses (Sarah Purcell, Kim Lankford, Pat Klous and Tracy Reed) will forever be etched in our memories. Ted Shackelford, who played the villain, will always be envied by us. If I had the resources to remake this film, the ladies would be b&g'd with sheer white adhesive and the scene would be expanded to include a protracted binding and gagging of each DiD by the villain. What really made this scene was the employment of perky talk show hostess Sarah Purcell as one of the DiDs. That would be equal to Entertainment Tonight's Mary Hart taking on such a role. I also wonder what other now-famous actresses auditioned for the DiD roles but didn't make it. Oh, to work as a stagehand in this movie! Can you believe it's almost 30 years since this movie was produced?
11. Hunter (TV show) - Stepfanie Kramer was the Noel Neill of the 1980s, getting the treatment several times. Nice mix of tape and cleave gags. The memorable episode for me was actresses Katherine Moffat and Katherine Cannon being accosted by an intruder who quickly bound and tape gagged them on-screen. Lovely!
12. Midnight Caller (TV show) - the lovely Wendy Kilbourne bound and sheer adhesive tape-gagged with her lips clearly visible underneath. The remote had another workover.
13. Knight Rider (TV show) - the tape gagged Robin Dearden in the auto racing episode was protracted and fun. But the sheer adhesive tape gag scene of Mary Kate McGeehan (I think) was another keeper. I had to buy a new remote.
14. Scene of the Crime (TV show) - sheer adhesive tape gags were frequently used on various episodes, but the scene with Teri Austin and Sandra Nelson b&g'd back to back was memorable. Teri got a nice closeup, but Sandra did not. What a shame!
15. Dangerous Curves (TV show) - the gorgeous Michael Michele and luscious Lise Cutter b&g'd on the floor next to each other, both sporting sheer white adhesive tape gags. Numerous closeups of lips underneath the tape. Poor remote! This scene needs to be remade, perhaps with a couple more actresses.
That's it for now. I would enjoy hearing of everyone else's favorite mainstream DiD scenes throughout their lives. Perhaps Lorelei, Jon and various models can also weigh in as to which mainstream DiD scenes had an impact on them.
