Yet they had a sort of bizarre Zen Philosophy all their very own. And interestingly enough both were Supervillains on separate Episodes of "Wild, Wild West" in The Sixties. Incidentally the young Woman who played "Archie Bunker's Niece" and dated "Lionel Jefferson" is an Actress named Miss Dianne Hull considerably renowned for being a Method Acting Teacher.🤔😉🎤🎥📺B.W.
