Miss Piecemeal (The Wild Wild West)

Miss Piecemeal (Sigrid Valdis) was a minor antagonist in two 1965 episodes of "The Wild Wild West", entitled "The Night the Wizard Shook the Earth" and "The Night of the Torture Chamber".
The Night the Wizard Shook the Earth
This is first of ten episodes that Miguelito Loveless (Michael Dunn) is introduced to The Wild Wild West series. 
Miss Piecemeal was the personal assistant to the Governor of California (William Mims). When James T. West (Robert Conrad) went to the governor to ask for assistance in thwarting a plot to blow up a portion of the city, she is seen in his office.
The governor grants permission to use the states military force, and it is Miss Piecemeal who hands West the order. When the governor leaves the room, she attempts to get romantic with West, but he turns her down, stating that she is 80 percent lawyer.
When west leaves we see who is better known as her role as Col. Klink's secretary in Hogan's Heroes. Miss Piecemeal would appear in one other episode of The Wild Wild West. As West leaves the office, we see Miss Piecemeal go to the shutters of the window and raise them up and down, offering a signal. This sets off a plan to capture West and bring him to Loveless.
In the end, Jim was able to turn off the explosives, and Loveless' plan was thwarted. Loveless was sent to prison, however, Loveless' personal assistant Greta Lundquist (Leslie Parish) was apparently redeemed and seemed to get off scott-free. There was no mention of prosecution for Antoinette (Phoebe Dorin) or Miss Piecemeal.
The Night of the Torture Chamber
The ever-opportunistic Miss Piecemeal allied herself Professor Bolt (Alfred Ryder), the director of the Fine Art Museum, to replace the Governor (Henry Beckman) with a look-alike actor. With her coaching, he successfully takes over the state government and allows them to raid the treasury. Bolt uses the funds for acquisitions for his museum, aiming to build a world-famous collection.
The governor must have suspected something, because he managed to send a request for James West to President Grant. Jim and Arty are happy to go, hoping that the lovely Miss Piecemeal is still his secretary. Their suspicions are aroused, however, when they seem to be the target of all the assassination attempts, not the governor.
This time Miss Piecemeal did not escape capture, although two of Prof. Bolt's other accomplices, Angelique (Viviene Ventura) and Helva (Nadia Sanders), went free. Not only that, the real governor hired them!
