Yvonne Craig, the actress best known for playing Batgirl in the 1960s Batman TV series, has died at the age of 78.
A trained dancer, she began her career at The Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and used those skills to perform her own stunts alongside Adam West's Batman.
Craig also played Martha, the green Orion Slave Girl who wanted to kill Captain Kirk, in the third season of Star Trek.
And she starred in two movies opposite Elvis Presley - It Happened at the World's Fair and Kissin' Cousins.
But it was her performance as librarian Barbara Gordon, who secretly moonlights as Batgirl, that defined her career.
