Yvonne Joyce Craig

Yvonne Joyce Craig, May 16, 1937 from May 16, 1937 until August 17, 2015. She was an American actor and ballet dancer popular for her performances as Batgirl in the 1960s' TV show Batman and Marta, Marta, the Orion slave girl Marta from Star Trek's episode "Whom Gods Deceive" (1969). The Huffington Post called her "a pioneer of female superheroes" for the screen. Yvonne Craig was born and was raised in Taylorville, Illinois. Her family in 1951 relocated to the Oak Cliff neighborhood in Dallas, Texas, where she went to W. H. Adamson High School and then Sunset High School, from where she failed to finish her education due to the absence of "a single PE credit". After being discovered by Alexandra Danilova, a ballerina as well as an instructor, Craig joined the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo as the youngest member of the corps de ballet. When she was playing Batgirl the training proved to be very helpful. She left the ballet company in 1957 "over a disagreement on casting changes" and moved to Los Angeles in the hopes of continuing her dancing career, but found herself acting in films. She first appeared in an episode of the TV episode of Perry Mason ("The Case of the Lazy Lover") as well as Neil Hamilton. Hamilton later was appointed the Batgirl's police commissioner James Gordon. She was in three movies shortly after, The Young Land, The Gene Krupa Story and Gidget (all 1959). She also appeared as a guest in the TV series Mr. Lucky, as Beverly Mills, in the episode "Little Miss Wow" also in 1959. Craig was seen alongside Bing Crosby and Seven Women from Hell (1960), where she was in a duet with Cesar Romero. In 1962, she appeared as an actor in Western Laramie's "The Long Road Back" episode. She also starred with Bing Crosby on High Time (1960) and Seven Women from Hell (1961), both of which included Cesar Romero. Craig also starred in two Elvis Presley films: It happened at the World's Fair (1963), as well as Kissin Cousins (1964). She also starred as a Russian ballet dancer opposite James Coburn in Mars Needs Women (1966).
