Yvonne Craig who played Commission Gordon's niece who was secretly BATGIRL in the 1960's t.v. show, Batman, died a couple of days ago.
I know time marches on but she was nearly 80!
Now she is sure to be crime fighting from Heaven.
Gawd, who wrote THIS theme song??? lol

SIDEBAR: Sometimes dropping the (inane) lyrics makes all the difference when it comes to making a theme song a classic.
Like Charlie's Angels. Its another example of Aaron Spelling making the right decision when he dropped the original version.

In favor of the one that became classic:

My husband apparently watched this as a kid because he informed me of this earlier today. I'm sure the expression on my face was priceless.
Sorry she passed away but didn't know who she was...I never watched.

LOL I was thinking, Alicia Silverstone can't be dead? I don't even remember batgirl from the tv series, it was before my time although I did see some reruns of the show.

Oh I loved Batgirl and her purple suit. May Yvonne Craig rest in peace.

Come to think of it my husband liked Wonder Woman too. I guess it's the outfits.

Sorry to hear. She was 78 and passed awau from breat cancer.
Notice the pointed bust - used foam stuffed tips to fill out the area. Many starlettes wore them in the past.
