RIP Batgirl

[sjordan2]

A poster girl of my youth, Yvonne Craig, has passed away at 78. I can't imagine that time span since her days as the TV Batgirl. She also was featured in the hottest episode of Star Trek that I remember, where she was an all-green alien who performed a dance wearing fewer pieces of coverage than you'd ever see in those days. True story: When the film was sent to the processing lab, they didn't realize she was SUPPOSED  to be green, and kept sending back dailies with her skin tones corrected to normal flesh color. 

 

If you search Google images for Yvonne Craig Star Trek, you'll see what I'm talking about.

She was a doll. Kinda makes me wish this species of alien would land nearby...   

but I always liked her better as a slightly sophisticated girl-next-door type...

Hard to believe that Batgirl was 78! Yikes! I remember watching the show as a little kid. Wow, time really flies.

But the good news is that Adam West is still going strong as Mayor West on "Family Guy."

No kidding, I figured she couldn't have been more than 75, and maybe just short of 70!

Yeah, but remember what Eddie Murphy had to say about that. (I can't repeat it here.)
