The 1964 - 1965 U.S. TV series "My Living Doll" starred Robert Cummings who trained a female robot. Who played the beautiful robot named Rhoda?

The beautiful robot who was named Rhoda on the 1964 - 1965 U.S. TV series "My Living Doll" was played by Julie Newmar. While the series starred Bob Cummings as Dr. Bob McDonald, a psychiatrist who is given care of Rhoda Miller, the female lifelike android was also a main character. She had a sexy and Amazonian persona and was created by a scientist who did not want her to fall into the hands of the military.

Rhoda's real name was AF 709, and she was a prototype robot that Dr. Carl Miller (Henry Beckman) built for the U.S. Air Force. Through a series of mishaps, the robot ends up in the care of Dr. Miller's friend, Bob McDonald. Bob was initially reluctant but soon becomes intrigued by the experiment of educating this sophisticated but child like robot. Bob's initial goal was to teach Rhoda how to be a perfect woman, which he defined as one who "does what she's told" and "doesn't talk back." Plus, he acted to keep Rhoda's identity secret from people who don't truly need to know.

Many episodes in the series deal with Rhoda learning about humans and their typical society. She would also begin to show or at least emulate rudimentary human emotions as the TV show progressed.
