Gorgeous brunette Yvonne Craig began performing on stage as a ballet dancer, got a few movie roles, and made a few TV appearances before landing the part that brought her a measure of celebrity: Batgirl in the series "Batman."
Her a part in "Batman" came in the 1967 and 1968 seasons. Before then, Craig had appeared on "Star Trek," "The Man from U.N.C.L.E," " The Wild Wild West," and "The Big Valley."
One aspect of the fun in her Batgirl role was that Batman and Robin did not know her identity, nor she theirs. In fictional reality, she was mild-mannered librarian Barbara Gordon, daughter of Commissioner Gordon, the man on the other end of the famous Batphone.
After "Batman" folded, Craig appeared in a few more shows and movies, then went into real estate work.
