BIRTH DATE: May 16, 1937, Taylorville, Illinois
CLAIM TO FAME: She is best known for her role as Batgirl
from the 1960s TV series Batman.
FAMILY LIFE: She was married to singer/actor Jimmy Boyd
from 1960-62. In 1988, she married lawyer Kenneth Aldrige.
INFO: Craig's first passion was ballet, and she was so
talented that she was accepted to Denham's Ballet Russe de
Monte Carlo. However, her training came to an end in 1957
over a disagreement on casting changes. Hoping to continue
her dance training elsewhere, she moved to Los Angeles, but
a career in acting found her instead. Her first appearances
were in the films Gidget and The Gene Krupa Story, both in
1959.
Later, while dating Elvis Presley, she had supporting roles
in his films, It Happened at the World's Fair (1963) and
Kissin' Cousins (1963). In 1966, she was cast as Batgirl in
the cult television series Batman. Her character was part
of the 67-68 season, which was the end of the run for the
show. She later appeared on other television programs such
as Star Trek (1966) and The Six Million Dollar Man (1974).
