Wasn't Casey a babe?
Always thought she was terribly sexy. A very sexy 60s woman.
shareI agree with you completely hellpepper.
shareCertainly wouldn't have kicked her out of the Black Beauty!
shareShe was cute, judging from a woman's perspective. However, Britt Reid was the babe - he was quite handsome, and classy!
shareI watched three episodes last night and I noticed a certain sexual tension between Miss Case and Reid, though it was certainly never acted upon. Or was it?
shareUnresolved sexual tension between Britt Reid and Casey Case was hinted at (most certainly, I thought, in the two-part episode "Invasion from Outer Space"), but never acted on, most likely because of the show's 30 minute (less, once you allow for commercials) runtime--there just wasn't time enough for a romantic subplot between Reid and Casey. Heck, there was barely enough time for the main plot in most of the episodes. :-)
The 1990s NOW Comics comic book adaptation of the Green Hornet noted that unresolved sexual tension and ran with it. In their version of the Green Hornet saga, the TV Hornet (the second of several) retired after suffering a non-fatal heart attack, and married Casey, and raised at least one child (named "Dan", of course, after Britt's father).
I agree with everyone else. Lenore Case was a beautiful, sexy, hot '60's babe. Especially in the beginning of the TV series in 1966. I loved her bee-hive buffant...so sexy and sensual...like Venus DeMilo. The high cheekbones ( a result of Actress Wende Wagner's Native American heritage) was also a big advantage. By the 1967 half of the series' run, Casey wore her red hair long, and her dresses short, as the mini-skirt movement came to America, thanks to Twiggy. I thought Casey became even sexier by early '67. In the episode where men from outer space were invading, Casey showed her heroine skills very nicely, escaping her kidnappers and being rescued by the Green Hornet. The writers felt that it was time to make Casey more than just Britt Reid's loyal secretary. Oh, how appealing she was to an eight year-old kid...:-) It's too bad the series faded from everyone's view and lasted just one season...:-( Had it lasted longer, I think Britt Reid and Casey could very well have been more romantically bound.
