Yvonne Joyce Craig

Yvonne Joyce Craig (May 16, 1937 - August 17, 2015) was an American dancer and actress famous for her part 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" on television. Yvonne Craig was born in Taylorville, Illinois, and was raised in Columbus, Ohio. In 1951 , her family moved from Illinois to Dallas. There she attended W. H. Adamson High School in Dallas as well as Sunset High School. However she didn't complete her studies as she did not have "one credits for PE". Craig was recognized by Alexandra Danilova (a ballerina and teacher) and joined the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo as its youngest corps de ballet member. It was an excellent training that enabled her to do stunts in the role of Batgirl. In 1957, she quit the company "over an issue with changes to casting". Then, she moved to Los Angeles in hopes of getting back into dance. However, she was soon cast in films roles. One of her first television appearances was in an episode of 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). After her appearances in The Young Land, The Gene Krupa Story (all 1959) and Gidget (all 1958) she also guest-starred as Beverly Mills on the TV show Mr. Lucky (also 1959). Craig was seen in the films Bing Crosby and Seven Women from Hell (1960), where she was paired alongside Cesar Romero. In 1962, she was guest in the Western Laramie episode "The Long Road Back". Craig also starred with Elvis Presley's character in It Happened At the World's Fair (1963), and Kissin Cousins (64). In the year 1966, she appeared in Mars Needs Women. In 1967, she played an Russian ballet dancer in In Like Flint.
