As a comic book loving kid
Batman was my favorite! Needless to say I loved watching reruns of the classic
Batman TV series growing up.
I was hypnotized by the beautiful technicolor and the exotic world of valiant heroes and colorful villains with monikers like
The Penguin,
The Joker and
The Riddler.
There was also a character I loved from the comic books that did not join until the third and final season,
Batgirl.
Batgirl was the alter ego of
Commissioner Gordon's daughter
Barbara Gordon. Actress
Yvonne Craig, ahem, filled out the role quite nicely.
Yes, it's true I had a childhood girl crush on
Batgirl!
She was tough, rocked a skin tight suit and knew how to kick ass! In fact
Yvonne did her own stunts, which makes her portrayal of
Batgirl all the more hot!
Recently
Yvonne passed away due to complications from breast cancer. Although you have done many other roles you will always be the
"Batgirl of my Dreams."
R.I.P. Dear Lady.
