You do realize that Melody was 14 when she got the role. It was to late to recast the role when the studio found out her age. In the black and white series. She and Wilton never kiss. She was still only 15. BTW. “Baby makes her Blue Jeans Talk”.
Wow! Never would have guessed that. I thought early 20s maybe. Then again I was ages 8-10 during the 1965-67 series run. But I probably remember it best from the reruns, when I was in my early-mid teens.
