RIP Batgirl
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Also as a Soviet ballerina in the second "Flint" movie (IIRC, she was trained in dance).reeg2223 wrote:She was great on Star trek too! Sad news...
EDIT: I also remember that she was in an early Perry Mason episode, "The Case of the Lazy Lover." Her stepfather in that episode (who died in the prologue) was played by Neil Hamilton, who later played her TV father, Commissioner Gordon.

Re: RIP Batgirl
I just remembered Yvonne's Bat-PSA from the 1970s, which lives on in YouTubeLand
Yvonne is Batgirl and Burt Ward is Robin, but Dick Gautier is in the Batsuit for some reason. (Two out of three ain't bad?)
And, of course Desmond Doomsday (aka Batman producer William Dozier) does the narration.
