I just found out about this today. I remember her from watching Batman as a little kid and she was also the Orion slave girl (green lady) on the original Star Trek, which I also remember seeing. RIP, Yvonne Craig. :(

Thanks for posting Paul, she was an excellent Batgirl. R.I.P. Yvonne Craig.

That was a great article, Paul. The Jimmy Boyd connection I did not know.

Thanks, for the memories, Yvonne. Peace be with you.

Yeah, it's funny we were talking about Star Trek not that long ago. The guys in the red shirts are the ones who always get FUBAR'd. I didn't even know she was the one who played one of those green women on Star Trek until I read about her recently.

Batman was the TV show that got me hooked on both, Comic books and drawing , as a kid in the 1960's . To me, Yvonne Craig was Batgirl and not that horrible portrayal by Alicia Silverstone in that crappy film from 1997 with George Clooney as Batman. Yvonne was supposed to make a appearance last year at the R.I. Comic Con in Providence but ended up bowing out. Now I know why she did. I wasn't aware that she was suffering from breast cancer. R.I.P. Yvonne.

I wasn't born until December 1971, so when I watched all of those shows, they were in syndication at that point. It is one of the earliest things I remember watching as a little kid, around 4 years old, probably. There was that and all of the 70's stuff.
