Antoinette

Antoinette was Doctor Miguelito Loveless' main subordinate, confidant and lover, being the only person Loveless ever treated with compassion and spared from his heinous cruelty.

History
James West first encountered Antoinette after being forcefully escorted to Loveless' lair after finding out about his explosive schemes, where he witness her playing a harpsichord and later singing a duet with Loveless to entertain West and Lundquist. After Loveless's plans are thwarted and he is placed in prison, Antoinette is not seen again, presumably having eluded capture.

However this would not be the last of them as Dr. Loveless later escaped prison along with his henchman Voltaire and reunited with Antoinette where they hatched a new scheme to capture West and use him for their plans. Later on, West is drugged by Marie Pincher, and taken to a town filled with mannequins with piped in sounds. This time Loveless has developed a plan to kidnap Jim and replace him with an exact double, Janus. With Janus, Loveless will destroy the Secret Service, get his explosive formula back. Finally, he will blackmail the U.S. into handing over Southern California, which he still says should inherently be his. Loveless has invented plastic surgery, and supposedly, he is far better at it than our modern surgeons have become. When West wakes up in on the operating table, Loveless is dressed in a lab coat, and Antoinette is once again playing on the harpsichord. When the time for the medical transfer is set to take place, both Antoinette and Marie assist in nurses outfits. Artie helps rescue Jim and foil Loveless' plot. West blows the circuits, which in turn destroys the lab. A fist fight ensues and West is able to knock Janus out. Voltaire was electrocuted, but survived. He and Loveless were both sent back to prison. Marie escaped persecution and was last seen back at West's caboose giving him a kiss. There is no mention of whether Antoinette was sent to prison or if she eluded capture.

Later on though, Loveless and Voltaire have escaped from prison once again with Antoinette ready and waiting. The trio now hatch a new scheme to bankrupt California and abduct any wealthy individual capable of restoring its coffers, then assassinate the governor of California, at which point Loveless will begin running for governor with promises of restoring its finances, rig the election and have California secede from the USA. During this time, Antoinette offers Loveless comfort and amusement by playing with him to ease his stress. However, once again their plans are foiled by West and Artemus, with Loveless and Voltaire sent back to prison while Antoinette once again seemingly eludes capture.

However this did not last, and Loveless once again escapes this time with the aid of a new henchwoman, named Kitty who he seduced with the promises of making her thin and beautiful via his advanced medical skills. Kitty however has interpreted this as Loveless being in love with her, being completely unaware that she is being manipulated and that Loveless' heart belongs only to Antoinette. Loveless this time plans to drug West and have him become a violent mess as a test to begin his latest scheme, the extinction of humanity, having now grown tired of conquest and only seeking to rid the world of humans, with the exception of himself and Antoinette. In the end though, his plans are once again foiled, and he, Antoinette and Kitty sink to the bottom of a deep lake, presumably having drowned but no bodies to be found.

It is later revealed that Loveless and Antoinette survived, although Kitty likely perished. This time Loveless and Antoinette have taken over an abandoned ghost town and kidnapped an Indian Princess in order to lure West as part of their latest plan to subjugate humanity and do away with West by using a new drug he has invented to shrink humans down in size in order to create his own Garden of Eden where he rules over all as a titan. However West and Artemus once again foil Loveless' plans, but no before he and Antoinette use the drug on themselves to shrink themselves down and escape on the back of their pet raven.

Much later, West and Gorden are traveling through the forest on their way to an Indian reservation which has been suffering from a longtime famine. They see nothing but dead foliage and no animals for three days. Suddenly, they are kidnapped by Robin Hood's Merry Men and taken to see Robin Hood himself and his Maid Marian, who are none other than Dr. Miguelito Loveless and Antoinette, having returned once again to seek vengeance. They are led into a giant tent, where Antoinette is playing the guitar and singing. After a re-acquaintance, Jim and Artie are able to escape, but this was allowed by Loveless. They are next taken prisoners by a tribe of Indians. Later Loveless confronts a captured West and reveals that he and Antoinette are the ones who have been killing the Indian food supply with his lethal green powder. He has been behind both the famine and a plot to turn the Indians into his personal army by posing as a great spirit in invincible armor who is supplying them food seemingly out of nowhere. The Indians have become literally enslaved by being dependent on Loveless, to the point that they resent the U.S. government's help with developing new farming techniques. Loveless promises to use his latest invention, and incendiary bombs carried by helium balloons, to destroy American cities for the Indians to loot, with his Armored Spirit alter ego as their leader. Jim challenges his authority, which prompts the Indians to demand a duel between Jim and the Armored Spirit. Loveless cheats by using an exploding mace as his weapon. Jim does not fall for it and wins the fight. Loveless and Antoinette escape into their underground hideaway. Their, Loveless and Antoinette release another one of their balloons, but it is shot down by Jim using a bow and arrow. The balloon falls back into Loveless' underground hideaway, and a fire is started. Antoinette and Loveless crawl into a log. The fire destroys everything, and when Jim and Artemus sift through the damage, they determine that nothing could have survived. However, the log led to an underground tunnel, and they soon receive a package gift from Loveless, which leads them to believe that both Antoinette and Loveless are alive and well.

Antoinette was never seen again after the Loveless' Robin Hood campaign and is never mentioned again. When Dr. Loveless resurfaced again, his benefactor Axel Morgan reveals that he found Loveless alone and starving in a cave, presumably the one he escaped into during the fire, with no mention of Antoinette. As such her final fate is unknown, but she likely either died from suffocation or hunger or went to seek help for Loveless but never returned. From then on Loveless was seen with other female companions. Despite her disappearance, it was revealed years later that Loveless fathered at least two children, Doctor Miguelito Loveless, Jr. and Carmelita Loveless, many years prior to meeting West and Gordon with two different women, one of which was presumably Antoinette.

Trivia

 * She was the most recurring female character on The Wild Wild West.
 * She was played by Phoebe Dorin. Dorin was half of a singing duo with her co-star Michael Dunn. The producers of The Wild Wild West saw them perform, and tapped them to play Dr. Miguelito Loveless and his companion Antoinette. When Dunn later married, his new wife was jealous of Dorin's closeness with Dunn, and made Dunn break up the act. Dorin no longer appeared as Antoinette. Loveless was given other companions in later episodes.
