Yes, I saw the news when I hopped onto the internet this morning. Very sad. Thoughts go out to her family and friends.

I recently watched the new WA release of QUICK! BEFORE IT MELTS...whatever charm this movie has is almost entirely due to Yvonne Craig...she was and is smoking hot and magnetic...that rare cute and sexy in some divine magnitude...one of those divine creatures of our fevered adolescent imagination...RIP.

Hi Ron!


To think that all three were still with us at the start of this year! Now only Adam West remains.


May Yvonne Craig Rest In Peace!


Tony

Oh the impact that Batgirl had on the male youth in the 60s

And in 1970's/80's Syndication!

she was gorgeous, and always gave decent performances


she was an UNCLE girl too - 'Maud Waverly' the UNCLE chief's neice, and had memorable guest roles in episodes of 'Star Trek' and 'The Wild Wild West', both shown on TV here in the UK recently


She looked fantastic as Batgirl and had great comedy acting ability


Another sixties iconic figure has gone, but she will live on in her fine performances !

I always liked her.

RIP Yvonne Craig

A sad day . Had a crush on her in the 60s and never got over it . She was beautiful and sexy . Loved her in soooo many tv guest staring roles . She does live on in reruns .

I saw Yvonne in person at a Hollywood autograph show about 15 years ago. I was passing by her table, and she was by herself, so I mentioned that I saw her on TV a few days earlier on a rerun of Celebrity Family Feud. (I can't remember if it was on the DVD or if it was on the Game Show Network.) She remembered the show vividly, and said some of the other actresses on her team didn't want her to go to the final round (the "Fast Money" bonus round). But, she did anyway, and ended up winning the most money for their charity. She was very friendly, and we chatted briefly, and she let me take her picture.


By the way, there is an excellent audio interview she did in 2010 on On Screen and Beyond. She goes into great length how she got started in show biz, and recalls memories of working with Elvis, and on shows like Star Trek and Batman. It's about 40 minutes. She sounds cheerful and upbeat. I just listened to it again today in her memory.


Here's the link, and scroll down to episode 118:

This makes me even more ready to watch my season 3 of BATMAN when it arrives. The first crush my four year old heart had!


RIP

RIP Ms Craig


My condolences to her family

Thanks for the link to that interview Ron! It was really informative and a lot of fun. Love that her favorite (current) TV series was Big Bang Theory, and her story about loving Pulp Fiction and her husband hating it was hilarious! The Batgirl/That Girl mix-up story was really funny too. She will be so missed but cherished forever!

 

[John Hermes]

Didn't she also star in an Elvis film or two last I remembered?

She appeared in It Happened At The Worlds's Fair (1963) and had a bigger role in Kissin' Cousins (1964)

Very Sad. I am a big fan of Batman so this is a blow. From everything I read from those who knew her, all say what a wonderful person she was. RIP beautiful Yvonne Craig, I wish I met you.

With Yvonne's death, that leaves Adam West (87 next month), Burt Ward (70), Julie Newmar (82), and Lee Meriwether (80), as the remaining living cast, unless I am leaving off any major cast members.
