The actress was best known for her hip, liberated role as Batgirl in the final season of the Batman TV series — though she also played a crazy green Orion girl on an episode of Star Trek She did a ton of TV and some movies all through the 60s and 70s, then "retired" to being a real estate agent (full media resume here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0186051/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1).

Thanks, Ms Craig, for much entertainment.
