Yvonne Craig was born in Taylorville, Illinois and grew up in Columbus, Ohio for the first 14 years of her life.[citation needed] She originally trained to be a ballet dancer and was a member of the corps de ballet of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in the 1950s.[1] Gradually, she moved into acting, and in 1959 appeared in three films: The Young Land, The Gene Krupa Story, and Gidget. In 1960, she appeared as a busty young coed with Bing Crosby in High Time, where she met and married singer/actor Jimmy Boyd.[citation needed] In the following year, she appeared with Cesar Romero in Seven Women from Hell. Romero would later play the Joker in Batman. Another connection to Batman occurred when Craig appeared in "The Case of the Lazy Lover", a 1958 episode of the television series Perry Mason, which also featured Neil Hamilton as her stepfather. Hamilton would later play her father, Commissioner Gordon, in Batman.
After divorcing Boyd in 1962[citation needed], Yvonne starred in several films, including roles with Elvis Presley in It Happened At The World's Fair and Kissin' Cousins and with Dennis Hopper, and appeared in In Like Flint as a Russian Ballet dancer opposite James Coburn
