(CNN)Before Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman, before Joanna Cameron's Isis, before Scarlett Johannsson's Black Widow, Yvonne Craig was a pioneer of female superheroes on screen.

As an actress, she originated the role of Batgirl in the 1960s "Batman" television series. As a trained dancer, she did her own stunts.

Craig died this week after a long two-year battle with breast cancer. She was 78.

My childhood wouldn't have been the same without her. Thank you Miss Craig for making life a bit more fun with your presence.

[Straight Shooter]

Pretty Lady...great actress. Had a certain innocent sexiness to her I always thought. Did NOT know that was her as the green alien in Star Trek..awesome!!!
R.I.P. pretty lady.

I liked this Cat Women better

Well one is cat woman and the other is batgirl. That said I think Newmar might have been one of the hottest females of that era. I always had Yvonne Craig running a close second behind her.

[sjc3081]

Sometimes I'm retarded.

[Big A]

Mmmmmmm...Orion slave girls...

[Eurodriver]

That pic of her in the red looks JUST like a girl I know.

So much so, that it is uncanny.

[Firefly]

First of all, NOOO!

Second, that picture of her in Red is just too much. I sometimes wonder how guys in the 60s restrained themselves.

Third, the only other person to have done batgirl justice, form-wise, aside from Yvonne Craig is Lexi Belle

Probably isn't fair to compare porn stars to mainstream actresses when it comes to form. That said, there is something about the natural form of some of those 60s actresses.

[Singlestack Wonder]

R.I.P. Batgirl. I remember you well from the 60's series. Total class.

Then there was Lee Meriwether, she was also a "Batman" and "Star Trek" babe.

RIP Batgirl. Definitely a class act.

As a kid growing up in the 60's and seeing Yvonne in this episode of "Star Trek"....

.... Yep, I was aroused alright!

Are you trying to say that there was a mass genocide of tiny tadpoles many years ago?

[ABNAK]

Yep, that pic of her in red is unreal. Doesn't look like a 50+ year old photo. Not 60's-ish at all.

You have no idea. As a collector of cheesecake magazines from the 50s and 60s you'd probably be stunned by some of the photos, especially the ones done by Hollywood stars.
