Yvonne Craig     1 2    NEXT   LAST   Last Post   Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 12:44 AM     By:   ZapBrannigan   (Member) I gasped when I saw this. Very sad. MeTV is running a Batman promo lately that features Batgirl, and they've underscored it with the theme from That Girl. It was cute and now it's poignant.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 7:00 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) I really only knew her from Batman. Sad to read about her long fight with cancer. RIP.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 10:03 AM     By:   Zooba   (Member) I remember thinking she was so hot when I was a kid in the 60's watching BATMAN on TV. Then she was even hotter on STAR TREK. She, Barbara Eden from I DREAM OF JEANNIE and DANIEL BOONE'S wife Patricia Blair were my sexual awakenings as a young boy. They were truly beautiful women. So sad to hear this news. Condolences to her family, friends and colleagues. Rest in Peace dear lady.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 2:10 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Dallas-born actress Yvonne Craig was a former ballerina before getting into acting. She spent most of her career in television, but she did appear in a few theatrical films. Her feature film debut came in 1957, in a small role in the juvenile problem film EIGHTEEN AND ANXIOUS. Craig played one of the beach girls in 1959’s GIDGET. Craig had her first major role in a theatrical film in 1959’s THE YOUNG LAND, co-starring opposite Pat Wayne, a relative newcomer himself, in his first lead role. The nineteen-year-old Craig played “Elena de la Madrid,” the attractive daughter of the magistrate of San Bartolo, California, in 1848. Ted Tetzlaff, who had been a cinematographer for 20 years before turning to directing, helmed the film, his last. Dimitri Tiomkin provided the score.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 2:16 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) best role: the Russian ballerina who loves American rock n' roll IN LIKE FLINT RIP mISS cRAIG    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 2:19 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) I remember thinking she was so hot when I was a kid in the 60's watching BATMAN on TV. .

I met her and still have the autographed photo she gave me (in a low cut blouse iirc) bruce ps I felt the same way about BATGIRL    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 10:08 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1959’s THE GENE KRUPA STORY, Craig played party girl “Gloria Corregio,” who had a love affair with Krupa (Sal Mineo). The film was directed by Don Weis, and the dramatic score was provided by Leith Stevens.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 10:28 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1960’s HIGH TIME (a title born of a more innocent age), Bing Crosby portrays 51-year-old “Harvey Howard,” a restaurant magnate who has decided to finally get his college degree. Craig plays “Randy Pruitt,” the college newspaper’s star reporter, who wants to interview Howard, who is a celebrity elder and an unusual sight on the campus. Blake Edwards directed this comedy and Henry Mancini (of course) scored.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 10:38 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1961’s BY LOVE POSSESSED, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. plays “Arthur Winner,” a high-powered attorney who is having trouble with his rebellious young son, “Warren” (George Hamilton), who has no intention of either practicing law with his father or of marrying “Helen Detweiler” (Susan Kohner), his law partner’s wealthy ward. Instead, the young man takes up with “Veronica Kovacs” (Yvonne Craig), the local prostitute. John Sturges directed this melodrama, which Elmer Bernstein scored.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 10:51 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) 7 WOMEN FROM HELL told the story of a group of women in a Japanese detention camp in New Guinea in 1942. Craig was one of the seven women sharing a cell. She played “Janet Cook,” a pregnant American teenager. This 1962 story of survival was filmed in Hawaii by Robert D. Webb (BENEATH THE 12-MILE REEF), and scored by Paul Dunlap.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 11:03 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Yvonne Craig was “Dorothy Johnson,” just one of the girls that “Mike Edwards” (Elvis Presley) romanced in 1963’s IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLD’S FAIR. Norman Taurog directed, and Leith Stevens filled in between the songs.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 11:24 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) The second time around was the charm for Yvonne Craig in 1964’s KISSIN’ COUSINS. Not only did Craig make her second film with Elvis, but she received her second poster credit as well. As “Azalea Tatum,” the nubile daughter of a hillbilly moonshiner (Arthur O’Connell), she even wound up with Elvis at the end—at least one of him. In this film, “Josh Morgan" (Elvis), an Air Force pilot, has a double—“Jodie Tatum,” the moonshiner’s nephew (also Elvis). To keep the bloodlines somewhat intact, Craig ends up with the Air Force Elvis. Gene Nelson directed.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2015 - 11:33 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Craig had a minor role in the 1964 Civil War comedy ADVANCE TO THE REAR, directed by George Marshall.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2015 - 12:00 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1965’s QUICK! BEFORE IT MELTS, Craig was “Sharon Sweigert,” the fiancée of “Oliver Cannon” (Robert Morse), a shy reporter for Sage Magazine, who is assigned to cover a naval expedition in Little America. But will the two remain engaged after the romantic entanglements Oliver gets into with the women of Antarctica? Delbert Mann directed this farce, and David Rose provided the score.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2015 - 12:07 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) The “beach party” films moved to the slopes in 1965’s SKI PARTY, and Yvonne Craig was one of the co-stars enjoying the fun, along with Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, and Deborah Walley. Craig played “Barbara Norris,” a coed at a Los Angeles college, who takes a ski holiday at a Sun Valley lodge. Alan Rafkin directed this harmless fluff, and Gary Usher scored.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2015 - 12:21 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) ONE SPY TOO MANY (1966) was the last of the “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” films to get a U.S. theatrical release. As with all the others before and to come, the bulk of the film was made up of a two-part episode of the series (in this case, "The Alexander The Greater Affair"), with some additional footage added that was shot specifically for theatrical release. The new footage featured a bikini-clad Yvonne Craig as U.N.C.L.E. agent “Maude Waverly.” Joseph Sargent directed, and Gerald Fried scored.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2015 - 12:38 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) The second-season two-part “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” episode “The Bridge of Lions Affair” became the fourth U.N.C.L.E. movie to hit the big screen, albeit in overseas markets only. Gerald Fried composed an original score for the 1966 film, retitled ONE OF OUR SPIES IS MISSING, and director E. Darrell Hallenbeck shot new scenes of Yvonne Craig playing “Wanda,” a flirtatious U.N.C.L.E. agent, to pad the running time.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2015 - 2:14 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) best role: the Russian ballerina who loves American rock n' roll IN LIKE FLINT RIP mISS cRAIG    Posted:   Aug 20, 2015 - 2:40 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Made by shlockmeister Larry Buchanan for a reported $25,000, 1967’s MARS NEEDS WOMEN never saw the inside of a theater, and perhaps was never meant to. Yvonne Craig co-stars as “Dr. Marjorie Bolen,” a scientist who has to deal with Martian Tommy Kirk when he arrives on Earth to pick up a few girls. No composer is credited, but some Ronald Stein cues from the AIP vaults may have been used. The film itself was sent out to television stations as part of a syndicated package.    Posted:   Aug 20, 2015 - 2:53 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Yvonne Craig's last theatrical feature was 1971’s HOW TO FRAME A FIGG. In the film, Don Knotts plays “Hollis Figg,” a dim-witted city bookkeeper who is being set up to take the fall for the city commission’s corruption. Hollis is named a “consulting commissioner” and presented with a lavish office and a seductive secretary, “Glorianna Hastings” (Yvonne Craig). This comedy was directed by Alan Rafkin (SKI PARTY) and scored by Vic Mizzy.     Non-Film Score Discussion: R.I.P.
