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 Squad,
Gidget,
Perry Mason,
McHale's Navy,
My Three Sons,
Kojak,
The Six Million Dollar Man,
Starsky and Hutch,
Fantasy 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".
