Originally brought in to stop flagging ratings, the exquisite beauty Yvonne Craig, also known for cult TV appearances in THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. and STAR TREK, certainly caught the eye in the third and final season of Adam West's sixties BATMAN series. Tightly formed in that striking, shaping Batgirl costume and showing her leggy ballerina-esque crime fighting kicks against the scum of Gotham City, children loved Craig as Batgirl/Barbara Gordon, women liked her strong independent streak, but male audiences liked her for altogether different, but no less vital, reasons, of which the actress and character's popularity and sex appeal has remained consistent to this day. Looking forward to seeing Batgirl and Miss Craig in hopefully stunning re-mastered Blu-ray form at some point later in the year, what with the recent news of the series upcoming release.
