Ballet career

I noticed this in the history: 00:26, 22 January 2007 Sumahoy (Talk | contribs) (it appears that she never worked in ballet)

I must beg to differ... For one thing, her book was titled "Ballet to Batcave..." and for another thing, she was in the documentary film "Ballet Russes," which I believe showed footage of her as a ballet performer.

Unless someone has a reason otherwise, I am going to re-add that information in a little while KConWiki 20:56, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

As of 2011 the article is in a shambles. It's poorly written with oodles of information missing. She was a somewhat famous ballet dancer (Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo etc.) and there is no mention of that in this article. As a matter of fact, there is little of anything mentioned in this article. I'm begging someone to do what they can to fix this article. It's embarrassing. Gingermint (talk) 23:13, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Just looked through the NY Times archives, there is nothing that is not free that is useful. Maybe someone with a subscription can get in? Dkreisst (talk) 05:00, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Barbara Gordon's Fate

Regarding Yvonne's feelings concerning Barbara Gordon's fate in the comic books, I can empathize with her. I would like to find the author of that story line and beat the crap out of them. But then developing feelings for a fictional character is always risky as their fate is in the hands of the writers and those who own the copyright to said character-Griffonclaw —Preceding unsigned comment added by Griffonclaw (talk • contribs) 02:30, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

None of this is at all relevant to Yvonne Craig or this article, am removing it now. NP Chilla (talk) 16:31, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I won't bother editing the article, because I know someone will just go in and undo my edits, but I'd like to note that there's nothing in Yvonne's statement about The Killing Joke that says that she developed feelings for the character or that she wrote DC comics. If that's true, then the information should be sourced correctly. Otherwise, this appears to be simply misreading the source material.

The actual source material says, "Batgirl's sunny life was forever altered after the Joker shot her in the controversial graphic novel The Killing Joke. "I don't know why they would want to do that to her," muses Craig. "Somebody sent me that comic book, and in it, she's hit in the spine by a bul­let! It was an awful thing to do, but I figure it's their character and they can do what they want—as long as they don't do it to mel"

There is nothing about her having feelings for the character, and most definitely nothing about her complaining to DC comics, in the source listed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.100.158.6 (talk) 01:58, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Television Career

The article says her television career started in the mid-60's. I watched a young (cute!) Yvonne Craig in an episode of Man With A Camera, a series starring Charles Bronson as a photographer who gets involved with solving criminal cases. In Season 2, Episode 12, "Hot Ice Cream," she plays Jo Stokes, an amusement park owner's daughter who's an amateur photographer and who inadvertently snaps a pic of a guy getting shot under a roller coaster. She helps Bronson's character solve the mystery (spoiler: ice cream vendor selling narcotics). This episode was copyrighted 1960. Was this her first TV appearance? Seems the section on her TV career should change "started in the mid-'60's" to "started in 1960." SanJoseRobert (talk) 22:26, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

She was also in the series, "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster." It was pretty bad, I don't imagine she boasted about it.Marzolian (talk) 06:04, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

"Slave Girl"

The character Craig played in "Whom Gods Destroy" was never identified as Orion or a slave girl. She was, in fact, a patient/inmate at a high-security mental facility. Her character has some similarity to the Orion slave girl played by Susan Oliver in "The Cage/The Menagerie" in that she's green and can dance seductively, is all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.130.36.43 (talk) 23:57, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
