Yvonne Craig who famously played Batgirl on the third season of Batman [1966] passed away August 17, 2015 due to complications from breast cancer. Her obituary is here

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/20/arts/television/batgirl-dies-yvonne-craig.html?_r=0

She steadily worked with a few breaks [in the 80s and 90s] in film and on TV from 1957 until the 2010s

I soon went through the internet scouring sites for shows and a few movies Yvonne was in and the results are here in this blog entry [note: some links may not work at all due to complaints lodged against the uploader or only work in the US [like at Hulu or dailymotion.com]] >>>>>

I also made screen captures of a few Batman episodes and the links to the photobucket albums containing the images are listed on this blog entry:

She will be missed ....

When I first started work at 20th Century-Fox (NOT to be confused with today's 20th Century Fox) I lived for my first 8 1/2 months with Harlan Ellison. There I saw and eventually met with Vonnie almost every day.

She lived next door!

Butch, you have a way of leaving us wide eyed and wanting more. As a tribute to the fine actress, what was "Vonnie" like back in those days? No embarrassing are details necessary, of course. Anything additional would be fun to hear.

Yes, indeed, Butch. Like, how 'bout telling us the address you shared with Harlan Ellison that was right next door to Yvonne Craig. And the year this took place, please?
