Movie-A-Day #136: Mars Needs Women (1967).

Today is the 74th birthday of the wonderful – and underrated – Yvonne Craig. She may not be a household name to modern audiences, but she was a fixture in teen oriented entertainment in the 1960s. She is best known for her television roles, playing Batgirl in the “Batman” series as well as a guest spot as one of the green Orion slave girls in one of the most iconic episodes of the original “Star Trek.” She was also one of the women that Mars needs in the fun “Mars Needs Women.” She retired from acting in the mid-1970s to become an entrepreneur, leaving behind a string of sweetly sexy roles.
