Yvonne Craig played Batgirl in the third (and last) season of the Batman TV series in the 1960s. She added extra flair and camp to a series already overflowing with camp. There was even talk of spinning Batgirl off into her own series (a pilot was apparently even shot). Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to save Batman, which was cancelled in 1968.
Fans have never forgotten Craig's Batgirl, though, and obviously somebody at Hallmark had a sweet spot for her: This year, they issued the ornament pictured above, which is a dead ringer for Craig.
