Wailin' Wanda (Sharon Vaughn) was a KAOS agent in the 1968 episode "The Groovy Guru" for the TV series "Get Smart".
Wanda first appears sitting on a park bench holding a sign with the word "Love" on it. The brunette is dressed in a mini skirt, black go go boots and coke bottle glasses. Agent Maxwell Smart is disguised wearing a similar hippy outfit and carrying a sign with the phrase "Drop Out" on it. He sits on the bench next to her, and Wanda says "Some say the Grateful Dead are alive and living in Beverly Hills". Smart responds with "Simon and Garfunkel fell off the Talllahatchie Bridge". With the formalities out of the way, Smart identifies himself as Agent 86, and assumes that he is sitting next to a CONTROL agent. Wanda responds by telling him that she is Courier 12 and "hip".
Wanda tells Smart that she has enough information on the Groovy Guru to put him away for life. She hands him a hippy purse with the information in it, and then proceeds to attach handcuffs from the purse to Smarts right hand. She tells him that they had been advised that there were purse snatchers in the area. She then gave him a key for the hancuffs, which Smart put in his vest.
At that point, Wanda told him that someone was coming. The two of them proceeded to engage in the "Emergency Park Proceedure" which was to embrace and begin kissing. During this, Wanda reached into Smart's vest and retook the key.
After Smart left, Wanda pulled out a compact which was actually a radio transmitter. Here she checked in with the Groovy Guru, and the audience finally realized that she was a double agent for KAOS. She told the Guru that in 30 minutes the CONTROL headquarters was going to blow up.
This is the last we see of Wanda, but it is assumed since the Groovy Guru and his operation was taken down, that Wanda probably met the same fate.
Agent Smart arrived back at CONTROL headquarters, where it was found that the purse contained a bomb. He was thrown down a shoot in the Chief's office by the bomb squad. When out of sight, a large boom took place, and the Chief and Agent 99 figured that Max had met his death. However, moments later, Max crawled out of the hole and explained that while he was falling, the bomb broke out of the cheaply made purse.
