The Wolf Files: Weird News
— -- Fat, middle-aged men with comic books in their hand still adore her. These days, they come with their sons and daughters. And they remind her, “You were my first love.”
That’s the price of fame for Yvonne Craig, better known as TV’s Batgirl, from the campy 1960s Batman series.
“I was bouncing around in a spray-on costume, and these guys must have been 12-year-old boys with the early stirrings of puberty,” she says. “It can be strange thinking about it all these years later. But it’s usually flattering.”
Craig, now 61, hardly hit it big. But for geeky comic book and sci-fi aficionados, she is a living legend. This woman not only went claw to claw with Catwoman — she also played the slinky green space alien who jiggy-jigged with Capt. Kirk on Star Trek.
