Well Jack, you managed to show our age! Most here are to young to have noticed her in the many movies and TV shows. I remember the Man from U.N.C.L.E where she played Mr. Waverly's niece, among other roles.

Too sad.
Unforgettable as the green-skinned dancer from Star Trek. (Not Trekkie enough to name the episode.)
Ms. Craig and Julie Newmar make Batman reruns worth watching.

I think it was the episode when space hippies took over the Enterprise.

Not the first time you've left me stumped.

I can't bear the suspense

Julie Newmar - one of the Catwomen on the campy (didn't start that way) Batman TV show - slinky, but not really scary. The first Riddler (Frank Gorshin) was truly scary/psycho. My Living Doll was a short-lived (< 1year) TV vehicle for Newmar as sex object/android robot back in '64-'65..

They still repeat the original Batman series from time to time in the UK. So not just oldies can see her 😉

The original MFU series hasn't been shown for some years though, AFAIK !

Another good series, were Mission Impossible, the original ones ONLY, not the BS newer films 😛

I certainly remember Yvonne Craig as bat girl. I always thought she was Hot! And she played Marta the green Orion slave girl in episode "Whom Gods Destroy". The other green slave girl was Susan Oliver (RIP) in "The Menagerie".

I always thought she was Hot!

Last night I watched a 20 something Helen Mirrin in "O Lucky Man".😱 I think Barbara Bain and Susan Oliver both did memorable "Outer Limits" episodes.

Barbara Eden as Genie and Barbara Feidman (it's actually Barbara Feldon - edit) as Agent 99 corrupted my young sensibilities in the '60s, even in black & white, which was all the TV we had at the time.... Barbara Eden kept her good looks for a very long time.

Yeah, you could say the 84 year-old Barbara has kept her looks just fine...A 2015 PIX.

"Calamity Jane" from "F-Troop" passed away last week -- she played the role as a teen-ager, only 66!

Yeah, she was wonderful in that. Great sound-track, too.

Don't forget Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in The Avengers. Luckily she is still with us, and in Game of Thrones.

Just watched the "Assassination Bureau" last night I forgot how petite she was in those days.
