Yvonne Craig, Actress Who Played Batgirl, Is Dead at 78

MY Batgirl. My role-model, my heroine, maybe even my first girl-crush.

I haven't been keeping up with RIP posts lately, but this one needs recognition.

I loved her guest role on Star Trek.

She's an all-around 60's icon, isn't she?

I loved her. I loved that series, actually, it was one of those constant after-school re-runs when I was growing up. Lee Meriwether was probably my Catwoman because we never apparently got any episodes with Julie or Eartha (at least that I remembered) but I liked her. Though I will admit to a lot of fondness for Michelle Pfeiffer's Selina.

RIP Yvonne.

Definitely a me-too on the after school reruns. My favorite part is the number of guest villains whose true coolness I only glommed onto a few years later (Roddy McDowell, Cliff Robertson, Tallulah Bankhead, etc) and the cameos of people who would pop out when they were climbing up the outside of buildings.

Oh yes. I miss those, though it's not so bad seeing more recent shows as reruns like that. Oh I know what you mean, yes! Burgess Meredith as Penguin was another. And yes, heh, that was so fun.
