Beam Me Up, Scotty! The Hottest Women Who Have Appeared On Star Trek

Yvonne Craig Now

Originally a ballerina dancer, Yvonne Craig moved to Los Angeles from Ohio to pursue her dancing career. Her career took a turn towards acting, and Craig soon found herself being cast for roles in film. She is most well-known for her part as Batgirl in the third season of the 1960s ABC television series Batman. Her part earned her a nod from The Huffington Post and The New York Times, stating that she promoted female power and was “a pioneer of female superheroes.”

She stepped back from the Hollywood spotlight and started a career as a real estate broker. Craig has also been an advocate for workers’ unions, women’s health and equal pay for women. She has given back in her philanthropy. Sadly, Craig passed away at the age of 78 due to cancer.
