A pre-iconic moment: Yvonne Craig on McHale's Navy (1965)

From season 3 of McHale's Navy:

Captain Binghamton (Joe Flynn) gets an eyeful of a newly arrived nurse (guest star Yvonne Craig),who left her former life as an exotic dancer to enter the Navy. Unfortunately, Mrs. Binghamton (Ann Doran) arrives to give her husband a severe case of buzzkill, especially after how he's embellished his accomplishments.....



Roy Roberts also recurred on Bewitched (he played Darrin's dad). Imagine this, though. Don't ya think the producers of Batman: The Animated Series blew an opportunity to bring Yvonne into the fold to work with Bob Hastings again?

Rating: B.

  1. It would have been awesome if Craig could have appeared on BTAS in some capacity, but at least they remembered to bring Adam West to do some work. Poor Burt Ward though.... he didn't get called in until they made those DTVs with West and Julie Newmar!


    Have you heard he will be appearing in the upcoming Crisis storyline on the Berlanti-verse Flash/Green Arrow/Supergirl series.

  2. Yep, I have. His exact role is under wraps, and we're a month away.

  3. From what I understand, he'll be playing himself - a former actor who once played Robin on TV. There's a photo of him on set wearing a V-neck shirt in Robin's traditional colors: red, yellow and green while walking a dog.

  4. I suppose that makes sense.
