Data released in the hack on Ashley Madison’s servers seem to show that family activist and former TLC reality star Josh Duggar has held not one, but two different monthly subscriptions for the site, which connects individuals in order to have extramarital affairs. It’s not easy to upstage William Shatner by quoting Shakespeare while wearing green body paint, but she did it. As Batgirl, alter ego of librarian Barbara Gordon, daughter of Gotham City’s Police Commissioner James (played by Neil Hamilton), she was introduced to appeal to young girls as a role model and men over 40 as a sex symbol.
Craig was reportedly happy to take part in the campaign saying: “I loved the premise that, only when I got pay that was equal to theirs would I save them!”
Craig described the characters of Barbara Gordon and Batgirl as “very close to who I am”. A good person. My heartfelt condolences to Yvonne’s family. “She and her sister Meridel became these two of the coolest aunts in my life”.
Her post-“Batman” TV stint lasted several years and spanned numerous hit shows of the time, including “The Six Million Dollar Man” and the “Mod Squad“. “And our friendship is something that I will never forget”.
She also starred in the Elvis Presley films “Kissin’ Cousins” and “It Happened at the World’s Fair” and provided voice work for the Nick Jr. animated series “Olivia“, which debuted in 2009. She also lent her support to a campaign for free mammograms for women who couldn’t afford them.
As news broke of her death, fans shared what Craig meant to them.
