Batgirl dies at 78. :mad:
No more Orion slave girl for Captain Kirk either.

So sad to hear. Two iconic TV roles, but she was all over 60s television. Good night Yvonne, sleep tight.
Mark Evanier has awonderful tribute to her.
That was excellent!
My condolences to her husband, her family, her friends and her fans.
RIP Mrs. Aldrich; you were awesome.
I was wondering why Gail Simone posted a tribute to her earlier. I was afraid that was it.
I actually saw her first in Bing Crosby’s High Time, one week before she appeared as “Batgirl”.
RIP you Domino Daredoll. You were always way cooler than Adam West and Burt Ward.
And I was always jealous of your turn-table wall! To me, that was the coolest gizmo on the show.
If you have 90 minutes to kill, here’s the 1967 sci-fi extravaganza Mars Needs Women starring none other than Yvonne Craig!
From that:
Meow.
Tough week with Batman passing away also.
Rest in peace.
Holy hole in a donut Batman! If you do nothing else today, read that article. It’s brilliant, touching, and hilarious.
That last line, hilariously awesome. RIP Yvonne.
Ha! When I think of her, it’s always that movie first. She was an extremely beautiful woman, and she bore a striking resemblance to Bing’s wife Kathy.
Did you ever notice some kind of weird vibe between her character and Bing’s on High Time? I thought for sure that the two of them would get together in that movie.
That’s class, right there.
I saw a picture of Yvonne Craig once, it was from the set of Batman; she had on the red hairpiece, but not the cowl. The whole Superman-puts-on-glasses-and-nobody-recognizes-him thing was always ridiculous. The Batgirl costume made a little more sense; longer hair, different color, etc. Wouldn’t fool her father, but was remotely plausible. Turns out it wasn’t a full wig, just a fringe attached above and behind her ears. It’s on the 'net somewhere, but I haven’t found it again.
How sad! I had a big crush on her. Another of my childhood icons gone… Time and cancer both take their deadly toll.
She didn’t have to put it in the past tense, though.
Not counting the Equal Pay For Women PSAs (with Burt Ward as Robin and Dick Gautier as Batman, IIRC), what’s the last TV show you saw her in?
The last one I remember was when she had a blink-and-you-miss-it role on a clip show episode of Fantasy Island.
Awww. I miss her gymnastic front kicks during fight sequences. Rest in peace.
