Yvonne Joyce Craig

Yvonne Joyce Craig (May 16, 1937 - August 17 in 2015) was an American actress and ballet dancer famous for her part as Batgirl in the 1960s television series Batman and 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" 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 was a student at W. H. Adamson High School in Dallas and Sunset High School. However, she did not graduate as she didn't have "one credits for PE". Craig was discovered by Alexandra Danilova (a ballerina and teacher) and joined the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1951, becoming the youngest corps de ballet member. As she performed as Batgirl, this training proved to be very helpful. She left the ballet company in the year 1957 "over disagreements over casting decisions" and relocated to Los Angeles in the hopes of pursuing her dance career, but she was cast in films. The first time she was seen was in an TV episode of Perry Mason ("The Case of the Lazy Lover") as well as Neil Hamilton. Hamilton later was appointed Batgirl's Police Commissioner James Gordon. Following her appearances in The Young Land, The Gene Krupa Story (all 1959), and Gidget (all 1958) she also appeared 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 in a duet with Cesar Romero. In 1962, she appeared as a guest star in the Western Laramie episode "The Long Road Back". Craig also starred with Elvis Presley in the roles of happened at the World's Fair (1963), and Kissin Cousins (64). She also starred as an Russian dancer alongside James Coburn in Mars Needs Women (1966).
