Maybe she's supposed to be unnatractive in a "Hollywood" sense. Meaning, she's actually really attractive, except she's wearing glasses and a severe pony tail.
"Why Priscilla, without your glasses, you're...you're
beautiful!"My favorite joke in this vein was in the "Get Smart" pilot. When Max meets Agent 99 for the first time, she's dressed in a chauffeur's uniform...jacket, pants, boots and a hat. Nearly 20 minutes into the 30-minute episode she takes her hat off and her hair falls to her shoulders, prompting an astonished Max to sputter: "You're a GIRL!" :lol:
