My Take
For me Yvonne Craig will always be Batgirl, and that role still feels ahead of its time, a woman with her own agenda roaring in on a motorcycle in the 1960s. Knowing she trained as a dancer suddenly explains the easy grace of her movement on screen. What I find quietly impressive is her range, from that pop-culture icon to the green-skinned Orion woman in Star Trek, proving she was never a one-note performer. There is something romantic about a girl from small-town Taylorville becoming a genre legend. She passed in 2015, but on film she keeps riding, and I respect that enduring legacy.
