Craig passed away at her home in Pacific Palisades surrounded by her family, according to her spokesman. She had been suffering from breast cancer that metastasized to her liver.

Craig also played Martha, the green Orion Slave Girl who wanted to kill Captain Kirk, in the third season of “Star Trek.”

Her guest appearances on TV include “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” “Fantasy Island,” “The Mod Squad” and “The Many Lives of Dobie Gillis.”

She also starred in two movies opposite Elvis Presley, “It Happened at the World’s Fair” and “Kissin’ Cousins.”

There was a thread about her here yesterday. I went looking for images and found lots of modeling shoots, and was shaking my head that you just don’t see girls like that anymore. Fondly remembered, RIP

They're around, except they're tatted up like circus freaks.

To me the attitude is the problem. I know tats are a bone of contention with a bunch of Freepers but the attitude that the modern chick shows is far more of a turnoff/shows their real issues.

YC was gorgeous. Today many seem to avoid looking female at all costs. And 7 inch heels on the body of a young boy does not look remotely feminine to me.

Remember her on both shows fondly as a kid.

Personally, I never trust green women.

But that’s just me.
