1964 Yvonne Craig Barefoot Pin - Up Girl Photograph Bikini Bathing Beauty
Item History & Price
ITEM: This is a 1964 vintage and original pin-up photograph featuring actress Yvonne Craig as a smoking hot ice queen. Clad in nothing more than a bikini and a fur hat, Craig cools herself down on a large block of ice while sharing an ice cream cone with a Yorkshire puppy. The original press snipe on verso reads:
FIREMAN, SAVE MY THERMOMETER.
When film lovely YVONNE CRAIG dons her oh, so brief bikini, the temperatures around her rise very sharply. Even if she poses by ice blocks,... savours an ice cream and otherwise urges one to "keep cool" the air is still charged with electricity - the power that her devastating vital statistics generate. YVONNE CRAIG did a fine job of work opposite Elvis Presley in "Kissin' Cousins" but in her next role she is going to be a star in her own right.
Photograph measures a trimmed 7.25" x 9.25" without margins on a glossy single weight paper stock with paper captions on verso.
Guaranteed to be 100% vintage and original from Grapefruit Moon Gallery.
More about Yvonne Craig:
A beautiful and engaging actress best known for her role as Barbara Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl, on the playful TV classic "Batman" (ABC 1966-68), Yvonne Craig started out as a ballet dancer. She was second lead dancer in the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo before moving into acting in her 20s. Her early acting career included a series of small film parts, including roles in teen hit "Gidget" (1959), jazz biopic "The Gene Krupa Story" (1959), and western "The Young Land" (1959), where she appeared alongside Dennis Hopper, all in 1959. That same year, she also began appearing in the teen comedy "The Many Lives of Dobie Gillis" (CBS 1959-1963), she played six different girls wooed by the title character over the course of three seasons. Craig maintained a steady film career through the '60s, co-starring opposite Elvis Presley in two of his most popular films, "It Happened at the World's Fair" (1963) and "Kissin' Cousins (1964), playing a dangerous Russian ballerina opposite super spy James Coburn in "In Like Flint" (1967), and starring in the cult favorite "Mars Needs Women" (1967). She also reunited with her "Dobie Gillis" co-star Dwayne Hickman in the teen comedy "Ski Party" (1965), which featured musical performances from Lesley Gore, garage rockers The Hondells and ski-sweater-clad James Brown. During this period, Craig also appeared regularly on television in guest roles before landing her career-defining part as Barbara Gordon, a.k.a. Batgirl, on the campy hit "Batman." After that show's end, Craig returned to her guest roles - most memorably as Marta, the green-skinned alien slave on the "Star Trek" (NBC 1966-69) episode "Whom Gods Destroy" - before retiring at the dawn of the '90s. Late in her life, Craig appeared on the animated children's series "Olivia" (Nickelodeon 2009-2012), voicing the character of Grandma. Yvonne Craig died of breast cancer on August 17, 2015 at her home in Pacific Palisades, California. She was 78.
