Yvonne Craig Career

Career

Craig joined Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo as the youngest corps de ballet member after being discovered by Alexandra Danilova, a ballerina and mentor. When she did stunts while playing Batgirl, this preparation was extremely helpful. She left the ballet company in 1957 "over a casting dispute" and migrated to Los Angeles in the hopes of continuing her dancing career, but she was later found in film roles.

One of her first television appearances was in an episode of Perry Mason ("The Case of the Lazy Lover") (1958) with Neil Hamilton, who played her stepfather (later Hamilton played Batgirl's father). Beverly Mills appeared in three films, The Young Land, The Gene Krupa Story, and Gidget (all 1959), as well as in the television series "Mr. Lucky" (also 1959). Craig appeared with Bing Crosby (1960) and in Seven Women from Hell (1961), together with Cesar Romero. In 1962, she appeared on the Western Laramie in the episode "The Long Road Back."

Craig appeared in two films: It Happened at the World's Fair (1963) and Kissin' Cousins (1964). She appeared in Mars Needs Women (1966) and appeared in In Like Flint (1967) as a Russian ballet dancer opposite James Coburn.

Craig appeared in television drama serials regularly during the 1960s. She appeared on several occasions on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, portraying five separate girlfriends for the titular character from 1959 to 1962. In 1960, Jo, a young photographer with Charles Bronson, appeared in Man with a Camera. Craig appeared on Voyage to the Sea in 1964 as Carol, an underwater photographer. (Turn Back the Clock) Craig appeared in The Big Valley ("The Invaders") and Kentucky Jones ("Kentucky's Vacation") in 1965.

In an episode of McHale's Navy ("Pumpkin Takes Over") and in an episode of The Big Valley starring Lee Majors and Barbara Stanwyck, Craig played a Navy nurse with exotic Arabian dance abilities; both aired in 1965. She appeared in an episode of The Man from U.C.L.E. in the same year. "The Brain-Killer Affair"), where she aids in overcoming the mystery of a brain-endangering drug. She returned as an United NationsC.L.E. the following year, she was back as a United Nations C.L.E. One Spy Too Many was a performer in a dramatic film based on the episode "The Alexander the Great Affair." She appeared in an episode of The Wild Wild West ("The Night of the Grand Emir") in 1966, she played an assassin who appears in an exotic Arabian dance. She appeared on "Haunted Honeymoon" in a 1968 episode of The Ghost & Mrs. Muir ("Haunted Honeymoon"), a bride-to-be who was stranded overnight at Gull Cottage.

Craig appeared on national television shows from September 1967 to March 1968, appearing as Batgirl/Barbara Gordon in the third and final season of the 1960s ABC TV series Batman. She wore a purple and yellow outfit as Batgirl and rode a "purple motorcycle with white lace trim," whereas her alter ego Barbara Gordon was the librarian daughter of Commissioner Gordon. The New York Times praised her for "add[ing] a scrappy girl-power element" to a TV show it referred to as "campy."

Craig appeared on the game show The Dating Game (1967) during this period.

Craig reprised her Batgirl appearance in a 1974 public service announcement (PSA) for equal pay for women sponsored by the US Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division. Batman and Robin were tied to a post in the feared of a ticking time bomb, but Batgirl refused to reveal them because she was paid less than Robin, in violation of Federal Equal Pay Law. Sidney Galanty wrote and directed the PSA, and William Dozier, who had narrated the Batman TV series, narrated the Batman television series, was narrated. This time, Dick Gautier played Batman because Adam West was trying to separate himself from the role at the time.

Craig reportedly felt some connection to the character, and it was sad that Barbara Gordon was shot and paralyzed by the Joker in the graphic book Batman: The Killing Joke (1988).

Craig continued to act sporadically in movies and television after Batman. She appeared in It Takes a Thief, The Mod Squad, Mannix, and Emergency! In the 1969 film "Whom Gods Destroy," Craig appeared on Star Trek as Marta, a green-skinned Orion slave girl. She appeared in four episodes of Love, American Style from 1969 to 1972. She starred one-half of a humanoid, time-observing pair (alongside Bruce Dern), who followed two of the Earth castaways (the series's Gary Conway and Don Marshall) into the past, eventually causing them to relive the flight that brought them to the giants' planet. She appeared in a first-season episode of Kojak ("Dark Sunday") in 1973, and in 1977, she appeared in The Infiltrators" for the first time.
