You can take the actress out of the catsuit, but doggone, it ain't easy! "I was not a comfortable puppy!" she exclaims to TV Guide Online. "I left [the form-fitting get-up] on all day and didn't drink many liquids. It was very difficult to sit in, too."

Regardless of the costume's constraints, the ageless former Miss America had been eager to suit up once more herself, to join Caped Crusader Adam West and old chum Burt Ward in the upcoming CBS movie Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt (airing March 9). "I was hoping that I would get to play Catwoman along with Frank Gorshin as the Riddler," she says. "But darn it, Julie Newmar was available. My daughter [stuntperson Lesley Aletter] got to be her double, though, so that was cool."

Since Meriwether was offered a cameo role in the tell-all telepic as a waitress in a Mexican restaurant, she refrained from trying to scratch out the original Selena Kyle's eyes on the set. "Julie and I actually get along just great," Meriwether insists. "Besides, we worked on separate days!"
