| Yvonne Craig • Movies/TV | ||||||||
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
parts in pictures such as 'Gidget (1959)' and 'The Gene Krupa Story
(1959)'. After that, her film career just bumped along. As Yvonne
was dating Elvis at the time, she did have a supporting role in the
two Elvis pictures 'It Happened at the World's Fair (1963)' and 'Kissin'
Cousins (1963)'. 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
that was taking place in Gotham. Her character, Batgirl, was part
of the 67-68 season, which was the end of the run for the show. After "Batman
(1966)", she also appeared on other television programs such
as "Star Trek (1966)" and "The Six Million Dollar
Man (1974)". As her career wound down, Yvonne went into the
real estate business. |
