Yvonne Joyce Craig

Yvonne Joyce Craig (May 16 1937 - August 17, 2015) was an American dancer and actress popular for her character in the role of Batgirl in the 1960s' tv series Batman as well as her role as the green-skinned Orion slave girl Marta in the Star Trek episode "Whom Gods Destroy" (1969). The Huffington Post called her "a pioneer in female superheroes that were adapted for television." Yvonne Craig was born in Taylorville, Illinois, and was raised in Columbus, Ohio. Her family relocated in 1951 from Illinois to Dallas. There she attended W. H. Adamson High School in Dallas as well as Sunset High School. However she was not able to graduate as she didn't have "one credits for PE". Craig was found by Alexandra Danilova (a ballerina and teacher) and was accepted into the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo as its youngest member of the corps de ballet. It was a great training that enabled her to do stunts in the role of Batgirl. She quit the ballet company in 1957 "over an issue with casting changes" and relocated to Los Angeles in the hopes of pursuing her dance career, but she was acting in films. One of her first television roles was in an episode from the TV series Perry Mason ("The Case of the Lazy Lover", 1958) along with Neil Hamilton, who played her stepfather (later Hamilton played Police Commissioner James Gordon, Batgirl's father). In the following years, she was in three films, including The Young Land, The Gene Krupa Story, and Gidget (all 1959)--and she also appeared in the TV series Mr. Lucky as Beverly Mills in the episode "Little Miss Wow" (also 1959). Craig starred alongside Bing Crosby (1960), and Seven Women from Hell (1961) that starred Cesar Romero. In 1962, she was a guest star on the Western Laramie in the episode "The Long Road Back".Craig starred in roles with Elvis Presley in two films The other was It Happened at the World's Fair (1963) and Kissin' Cousins (1964). She also appeared as an Russian ballet dancer opposite James Coburn in Mars Needs Women (1966).
