Remember Yvonne Craig? She's probably most well-known for her role as Batgirl in the original 1960s Batman series. But in a career that spanned over 70 years, she did a lot more than fight alongside the Caped Crusaders.

I remember her in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.Mod SquadGidget, Perry Mason, McHale's NavyMy Three Sons, Kojak, The Six Million Dollar Man, Starsky and HutchFantasy Island...and I'm sure there are more that I don't remember!

But my absolute favorite role that she played was Marta, the green woman who wanted to kill Captain Kirk in Star Trek. 

Her long resume shows what a great actress she was. But her dying wish is what cements her legacy as a class act. According to her family she asked that "no one waste a moment of their time in mourning for her loss in sadness but instead celebrate the awesome life she had been fortunate enough to live".

So I won't waste a moment in mourning. But I will go and watch all those shows again to celebrate her "awesome life".
