My Living Doll



USAF Base Psychiatrist Dr Robert McDonald (Cummings) finds himself in charge of Rhoda - a beautiful female robot in this CBS sitcom.

Rhoda's real name is AF709, and Bob's job is to teach "her" how to be a perfect woman, while keeping her identity secret from the world - especially lecherous neighbour Peter Robinson, who fell in love with Rhoda.

Statuesque Julie Newmar played the robot designed by Dr Carl Miller.

Bob passed Rhoda off as Dr Miller's niece. When actor Bob Cummings left the series in early 1965, his character was written out of the series.

In the storyline, Dr McDonald was transferred to Pakistan to join Dr Miller. Peter, who had accidentally discovered that Rhoda was a robot, took over as her caretaker and instructor.
