I was surprised to read that she got her start as a ballet dancer with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo.

It's too bad that Fox or WB(rights) took so long to release Batman on dvd. I m sure Yvonne would have a appreciated a few new generations discovering her as Batgirl. She had a great website , I use to stop by it throughout the years. I didn't know she was ailing or doing poorly. Peace unto her.
