Yvonne Craig, the Original Batgirl, Passes Away
The original Batgirl, Yvonne Craig, has passed away at the age of 78. Ms. Craig had been fighting breast cancer for two years before it caught up with here.
I was four years old when Batman first came on TV and about eight when it ended. Then there were the endless repeats. I guess I'm trying to say that I had a crush on Batgirl before I even knew what a crush was. I can't even imagine there being a sexier woman on TV at the time.
Add to the fact that she was always getting tied up or whoopin' ass and you can see how she could twist a little boy's mind around. From her skintight suit to sassy attitude, here's to Yvonne Craig who really brought Batgirl to life.
