Mini Biography
Yvonne Joyce Craig was born on May 16, 1937 in Taylorville, Illinois. As a young teenager, Yvonne showed such promise as a dancer that she was accepted to Denham's Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Her training progressed until she left the company in 1957 over a disagreement on casting changes. She moved to Los Angeles hoping to continue her dancing, but was soon cast in movies. At first, Yvonne had small roles in movies such as Gidget (1959) and The Gene Krupa Story (1959). After that, her film career just bumped along. As Yvonne was dating Elvis Presley at the time, she did have a supporting role in the two Elvis movies, It Happened at the World's Fair (1963) and Kissin' Cousins (1964).
But her fame would come with the cult television series Batman (1966) in which she played Commissioner Gordon's daughter, Barbara. Her secret identity was Batgirl and as the Commissioner's daughter, she had access to all the calls of trouble taking place in Gotham City. Her character, Batgirl, was part of the 1967-68 season, which was the end of the run for the series. After Batman (1966), she also appeared on other television series such as Star Trek (1966) and The Six Million Dollar Man (1974). As her career wound down, Yvonne went into the real estate business. Yvonne Craig died at age 78 of breast cancer at her home in Pacific Palisades, California on August 17, 2015.

Thanks for the "Batgirl" pics.
She was a hot piece of tail back then.

I resubmitted this whole collection since I'd generally trashed a few albums over at Image Venue after it sounded for sure that RiP was toast. Anyway, I learned something valuable in the process! Under a kind gentleman's urging on another board where we were discussing RiP, (he's the one who told me we were back) I downloaded Kerbeat's Photoshare 0.1.5 and on the very first try it worked for me! The time factor was maybe about the same? about 11 minutes? No logging back in and out, uploading 5-10 at a time, etc. All I did was copy all 30 into a separate album and plug the whole thing into it.
True, I've seen other programs discussed here but most of what I saw pretty much scared me away. Anyway, one giant leap forward today for the Dangerboy!

Wow! Thanks Lamb for the additional content! I got busy last night and found a bunch more. Seems like Batman the TV show has been on the back burner DVD-wise for quite some time now and I'm sure it will have to start coming out very soon. Some great caps are sure to be had and I can't wait to see those ultra-colorful episodes in DVD clarity.
Enjoy!

Here's another dozen or so, mostly scans I had to go thru Image Cave to upload. Most, if not all of these were deleted above because I believe they were too small. I apologize for the inconvenience but think it's well worth a look-see. The caps of Batgirl intertwined with Robin the Boy Wonder and Batman are worth the price of admission.
Given Burt Ward's supposed well-endowed manhood and the proclivity with which he used it, it looks like much more is going on in these scans.
