Doesn't even seem real. My first crush. Time for a season three marathon.

What a huge loss. Not just to the Batman '66 community, but to all of humanity. I never met Yvonne, but from everything I've ever read or been told about her, she was an incredibly kind, compassionate, generous lady. The world needs more people like her.

Yvonne will be missed and forever remembered.

This truly bummed me out when I heard this. I was not lucky enough to meet her, but I've always enjoyed her work and as was said earlier, she'll always be the only Batgirl for me. We are lucky that she is immortalized forever on our screens. Ride the Batcycle in Peace Batgirl, you will be missed.

This is very depressing, and unexpected.

Comics writer Mark Evanier has a great remembrance over at his site which I recommend:

It's a little naughty at the end, but it's funny and I think it gives a great peek into what a fun person Yvonne was.

RIP

I am in shock and still can not believe it

It makes the project I'm doing to mean even more as I wanted to rise money for cancer research my head is spinning R.I.P.

What a tragic loss.

The article on CNN.com has some great quotes from Scott, as always our goodwill ambassador. Sorry for your loss as well as the family's, Scott.

Shocked and gutted.

I had just watched Yvonne in Kissin' Cousins the other night. She is someone who always seemed so full of life and never lost her youthful spirit. I regret never getting to meet her. She leaves behind so much awesomeness for us to remember her by but this is still awful news to hear.

In the information posted by Scott at the beginning of this thread Yvonne had the wish that we not mourn her, but rather celebrate her life. In the spirit of that request I just watched a Batman episode that prominently featured Batgirl. It reminded me that Yvonne really brought an energy to the show that the other regulars rarely had anymore.

And later in the week I'll be watching "In Like Flint" (a James Bond spoof starring James Coburn) where Yvonne played a ballerina.
