RIP Yvonne Craig

[sentaison]

Probably best known for her role as Batgirl in the 60's Batman TV series, she passed away due to breast cancer at the too young age of 78. She was also the original Orion slave girl Marta in the original Star Trek episode, Whom Gods Destroy. She did have a number of other genre roles, in movies and tv, and worked with some of the biggest stars of the period.

She had an active career in tv and film spanning two decades and had recently come out of retirement to do voice work for a children's show.

She was the second sexiest woman on Batman imho, but it was a close second.

I wondered why she wasn't around doing the interviews and stuff West, Ward, and Newmar have been at since the Batman '66 rights agreement was reached.

Very sad.

Sad to learn about Yvonne Craig's death, watching Batman won't ever be the same.

The news outlets have been running segments of Craig's performance from "Whom Gods Destroy"; some quick searching turned this up on Youtube.
