Batgirl is my second favorite DC hero and loved Criag in the role. I did not know she was ill. As an actress she has always been underappreciated.A true talent and a wonderful giving person. She made a mark on many generations for that one year or so as Batgirl.I miss her.

I always liked her! She was clever to keep her identity secret, though twice she almost referred to Commissioner Gordon as her father.
Yvonne also did two Elvis movies, It Happened @ The World's Fair & Kissin Cousins. She also did some game shows, The Object Is, The Dating Game, Family Feud & Big Deal (she was a judge for an Elvis contest).

One thing I forgot.
When Barbara Gordon had her pet bird, Charlie, I'm glad it wasn't a talking bird. She would be devistated in front of her daddy, Chief O'Hara, Bruce Wayne & Dick Grayson if Charlie squawked, "Barbara is Batgirl, Barbara is Batgirl!" (LOL)

RIP Yvoone Craig. I don't remember much about the 1960s Batman series, but I thought she protrayed Batgirl well. I liked the twist in the first episode of the third season about Barbara Gordon.
