"smokes quite frequently in a lot of the episodes, and quite seductively, I might add."
"She is elegant in the style of women in the '60's and normally smokes either as a part of a seduction, or, at the very least, elegantly. She doesn't generally seem to be a very deep inhaler, but is very comfortable smoking and using cigarettes as part of her 'glamour girl' act in the show. I'm not generally a fan of watching women hold cigarettes, but she does it with such elegance even that is worth watching."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain

serve her a cigarette and a light"
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Mary Ann Mobley
ep. #1.5, "Old Man Out: Part 2", Oct. 15, '66

"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. #1.6, "Odds on Evil", Oct. 22, '66

just moments later, she is shown holding."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. #1.7, "Wheels", Oct. 29, '66
"retrieves her burning cigarette from an ashtray and sits down on the sofa.
Later, she asks her companion for a cigarette, but he gets distracted and
it never gets lit (seems like just an excuse for a rather cool close-up of
Barbara holding an all-white)."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. #1.8, "Ransom, The", Nov. 5, '66
"Can be glimpsed holding in the background in the opening scene."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. #1.8, "Spool There Was, A", Nov. 12, '66
"In the opening scene, the camera pans up from her lovely legs to reveal
her smiling as she draws on a freshly-lit all-white. The director cuts away
for a few seconds, but returns for her delayed natural exhale. She drags in
two scenes as a diversionary tape plays. Sitting at a outdoor table at a
café, she first holds in long-shot and then the director goes for a close
up of her holding her cigarette between finger and thumb."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain

cigarette with lipstick traces."

ep. #1.14, "Short Tail Spy, The", Dec. 17, '66
"She has hidden a bug in her pack of cigarettes. A close-up shows them to
be all-white filters. She is briefly seen holding a lit cigarette in two
scenes and a long unlit one in another. Eventually she lights up, taking a
cigarette from a box on the table, drawing just long enough to ignite it,
then exhaling almost immediately."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. #1.15, "Legacy, The", Jan. 7, '67

ep. #1.25, "Shock", Mar. 25, '67

She takes a cigarette from her purse in another scene, but does not light
it."

"About ten minutes in, there is a 3.5 minute sequence in a night club
including a distant drag with just a trace of talk-exhale, the completion
of another closer drag with the suggestion of a gentle inhale, and two
further brief drags holding her cigarette between finger and thumb."

"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. #1.28, "Psychic, The", Apr. 22, '67
"The director cuts as she has just received a light. She holds elegantly,
but it looks as though her cigarette has not lit."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. #2.1, "Widow, The", Sep. 10, '67
"Four scenes. She lights an all-white with a slight inhale, then takes a
weak double-pump. Using just one hand, she neatly extracts a cigarette from
her purse and accepts a light from her companion; the smoke drifts across
her face as she then holds. She holds an unlit long all-white as she goes
to make a telephone call. Finally, there is a scene showing her holding
elegantly in close-up."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. #2.7, "Operation 'Heart' ", Oct. 22, '67

'Morley' brand and activating a device concealed inside it."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. #2.13, "Astrologer, The", Dec. 3, '67
"She gently accepts a light for her all-white, but there is little
indication of an inhale. Later, she is twice glimpsed holding, before the
director cuts in as she completes an inhale, turns her head to one side,
and unhurriedly breathes twin jets of smoke elegantly from her nostrils."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain, Katherine Woodville
ep. #2.16, "The Spy", Jan. 7, '68
"Bain receives a light for her all-white, gently inhaling, then exhaling,
through her nostrils. There is a trace of smoke on her breath when the
director cuts in for a second scene. In a third scene, there is a nasal
exhale. Woodville takes an all-white from a cigarette box and lights it
with a chunky table lighter; in a second scene, three minutes later, she
receives a light. In neither scene does she appear to inhale."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain
ep. 2.22, "Killing, The", Feb. 28, '68
"Picks up a cigarette from the dresser and lights it, with minimal inhale,
with a chunky table lighter. Later, in a darkened room, she receives a
light from the guy she is pretending to seduce, but the director then cuts
away."
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Bain, ND
ep. #2.25, "Recovery", Mar. 17, '68
"Holds in an early scene"
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Barbara Babcock
ep. #3.6, "The Cardinal", Nov. 17, '68
"played one of the villains and was impersonating a nun, in full habit
garb. When she was away from those she was trying to fool, one incredible
scene showed her pulling out a long white cigarette and lighter from under
her robes, lighting up, and taking two drags. She inhaled and looked IRL.
Quite a site to see a nun smoking!"
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Julie Gregg, ND
ep. #4.12, "The Amnesiac", Dec. 28, '69
"Light-up and hold"
"Mission: Impossible" (1966) | Lesley Ann Warren, H

disguise."
