Miss Kabaker (Julie Gregg) is a nasty snob in the 1966 episode "Double Split" in the TV series "Bewitched".
She is the daughter of J. Kabaker, and important client for McMann and Tate, Darrin Stephens (Dick York) company. At a business cocktail party held at the home of Larry Tate (David White), Darrin's boss, she encounters Samantha Stephens (Elizabeth Montgomery). Samantha has been asked to be especially nice to Miss Kayaker, since she has a lot of clout with her father. However, after a most disagreeable encounter this becomes very difficult to do.
The lovely but snobbish Miss Kabaker is wearing a red sleeveless evening gown with a v-shaped neckline that has a diamond broach at its vortex. She has matching earrings and her blonde hair is gathered and worn up in a bun on the back of her head.
Samantha tries to be nice, but the girl is an absolute bitch. After complimenting her on her choice of dress, Miss Kabaker responds, "It's not difficult when one has taste, Mrs. Stubbins". Miss Kabaker then makes a snide remark about how Samantha's dress is nice, and how "it's really difficult to tell those inexpensive copies from the originals nowadays". Then she asks Samantha if she used Dr. Hafta, the plastic surgeon for her nose job.
Miss Kabaker walks away from the conversation. While talking to Mrs. Tate, she tells Sam, that "There's always a sour meatball in the chafing dish. Maybe she'll get it". Later when Samantha asks Miss Kabaker if she has tried the meatballs, she responds, "No, I never eat them myself. I wish I could be like you. Carefree, not give a darn what my figure looks like".
Unable to take any more, Samantha twitches her nose and a canapé hits Miss Kabaker in the face. She Miss Kabaker runs sobbing to her father and tells him that Samantha deliberately threw it at me. Mr. Kabaker is outraged that someone could treat his daughter like this. Mr. Kabaker takes his daughter home, and McMann and Tate lose the account. This is the last we see of Miss Kabaker, but it leads to a fight with Darrin and Samantha, which in turn leads to a fight with Larry and Darrin.
