Don's older sister was Gloria Burton, who helped him pen the Prisoner
of Zenda spoofs, and his younger brother was stand-up comic Dick Yarmy, who
appeared in two Get Smart episodes. 2:
William Yarmy, Don's father, appeared in "The Not So Great Escape"
episode as "Old Timer."
3:
Caroline (who was actually Adelaide's daughter from another relationship) appeared as a gravel voiced
little person in "Valerie of the Dolls."
Cecilia appeared in
Get Smart Again and was quite famous in Trekkie Lore as Moogie the Ferengi on
Star Trek Deep Space Nine. 4:
As payment, Adams was given the option of a large salary or a small
salary and a third of the shows rights as well as Max's Sunbeam Tiger
convertible. He chose the rational path: the
rights and the car. Note on the
car: It was totaled twice, each by
a different daughter, and its exact whereabouts are presently uncertain.

Edie Adams is no relation to Don. She
was, however, the wife of comedian Ernie Kovacs. 6:
Don's won
varying types of Clio Awards for the Toy's Games category in 1971, 1972, and
in 1980.

Adams actually prefers not to drink and the Webmaster actually prefers

White Castle is particularly infamous in the United States for producing

Some would argue that GS95 was not all bad and had some good attributes.
It did, however, lack a true comedy lead as well as (in the case of Andy
Dick) characterizations that did not fit with the mold and intentions of the
original Get Smart. 10:
Gadget Boy, a cartoon staple of the History Channel, was voiced by Don but
sounds different from Inspector Gadget because his voice was speeded up for this
character. 11:
Adams is pretty slick about signing.
In the spring of 2000 he signed and put on a trench coat claiming it was
the first article of clothing he had ever been asked to sign. ------------- Green, Joey. The Get Smart Handbook. New York: Collier, 1993. Javna, John. Cult TV. New York: St. Martin's, 1985 McCrohan, Donna. The Life and Times of Maxwell Smart. New York: St. Martin's, 1988.
