Yvonne Craig, known to a generation of TV viewers as "Batgirl" from the Batman TV series during the 1960's, has died at the age of 78 from breast cancer this past Monday (the 17th).

Craig's role of Batgirl was introduced in 1967 for the show's third and final season. A trained dancer, Craig was known for doing her own stunts on the show.

Star Trek fans may remember Craig for her role of Marta, a green-skinned Orion slave girl who tried to kill Captain Kirk in the "Whom Gods Destroy" episode.

Besides various television appearances Craig also had roles in movies such as The Young Land with John Wayne's son and It Happened at the World's Fair & Kissin' Cousins, both with Elvis Presley.
