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.
