Lucien Verdoux-Feldon: Bio Summary

Who is Barbara Feldon married to?

Lucien Feldon Verdeaux was a suave European with whom Barbara Feldon fell in love and, eventually, got married to. Former love bird first met of all places, outside of Carnegie Hall, where Lucien Feldon made the first move and asked her if he could borrow a dime to make a telephone call according to Salon.

Before she knew it, she was having coffee with the glamorous gentleman with the Belgian accent, an advertising man, he told her, who had become disenchanted with the ad biz. Within a year, Barbara Feldon eventually walked down the aisle with Lucien Verdoux-Feldon. The couple tied the knot in 1958, in a beautiful wedding ceremony in the presence of their friends, families, and loved ones taking his last name in the process.

Per Salon’s report, the actress’s father sensed that something wasn’t quite right with the handsome new man in his daughter’s life, although he held his tongue and his thoughts to himself. According to thewritelife61 Barbara appeared on The $64,000 Question in 1955, and she won the grand prize of $64,000 in the category of Shakespeare. The actress opened an art gallery with her husband a man who was a photographer and an ad man who was no longer interested in advertising.

Per Closer, their art gallery didn’t last long, and reflecting on that, Barbara said- “An art gallery is a hobby, not a business.” By the time she landed the role of Agent 99 on Brooks and Henry’s award-winning “Get Smart,” Feldon had realized the extent of Lucien’s deception — that he wasn’t who he said he was at all, despite his apparent refinement and breeding, Salon reported.

The couple would divorce in 1967 and didn’t have any children together. There were married for 9 years before they called it a quit.

“How easy, how comfortable this felt,” she writes, “as if no time had passed since we’d parted, and an element that had been missing from my life seemed magically restored — that breezy sense of rightness I’d once felt with him.” As Feldon deftly demonstrates in her insightful memoir, part of “getting smarter” is accepting, even embracing, our pasts while also knowing better about the future.
