Film Credits - Detailed

Eighteen and Anxious (1957) 93m Republic bw (aka No Greater Sin) Mary Webster, William Campbell, Martha Scott, Jackie Loughery, Jim Backus, Ron Hagerthy, Jackie Coogan, Damian O'Flynn, Katherine Barrett, Charlotte Wynters, Yvonne Craig (Gloria), Joyce Andre, Slick Slavin, Benny Rubin. Directed by Joe Parker.

Teen exploitation film. Webster is a girl secretly married to a young man who is subsequently killed drag racing. When she later has the youth's baby, she is unable to prove she was married. She refuses to care for the baby, preferring to make a play for jazz trumpeter Campbell. He takes her to Las Vegas but when she realizes he has no intention of marrying her, she leaves, ending up married to disc jockey Hagerthy. Yvonne plays one of Webster's friends, and has a few scenes at the beginning of the movie. This was Yvonne's first time on the big screen.

The Young Land (1959) 89m Columbia color Pat Wayne, Yvonne Craig (Elena de la Madrid), Dennis Hopper, Dan O'Herlihy, Roberto de la Madrid, Cliff Ketchum, Ken Curtis, Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez, Edward Sweeney, John Quijada, Miguel Camacho, Tom Tiner, Carlos Romero, Edward Jaurequi, Cliff Lyons, Mario Arteaga, Charles Heard. Directed by Ted Tetzlaff.

Western, staring the son of John Wayne, Yvonne Craig, and Dennis Hopper. Dennis Hopper plays a young malcontent who has goaded a respected Hispanic into a fatal gun battle in the new state of California in the year 1848. His jury trial is watched with great interest by the largely Spanish-speaking citizens of the new state, who consider it to be a test of the Anglo system of justice. When a guilty verdict is reached, the judge faces a difficult sentencing task. He gives the gunman a 20-year suspended sentence, provided that Hopper agree never to wear a weapon again. The disgruntled youth then grabs a gun from deputy marshal Ketchum and challenges the sheriff, Wayne, to an equivalent duel.... Yvonne Craig plays Wayne's love interest, and has several scenes throughout the movie. The film was shot in 1957.

Gidget (1959) 95m Columbia color Sandra Dee, James Darren, Cliff Robertson, Arthur O'Connell, The Four Preps, Mary LaRoche, Joby Baker, Tom Laughlin, Sue George, Robert Ellis, Jo Morrow, Yvonne Craig (Nan), Doug McClure, Burt Metcalfe, Richard Newton, Ed Hinton, Patti Kane. Directed by Paul Wendkos.

Comedy, staring Sandra Dee. The All-American ideal is wholesomely embodied in happy-go-lucky Dee, who became the model of countless teenagers in the late 1950s. Dee plays Gidget (a nickname meaning "girl midget"), a sad-faced youngster who doesn't quite measure up to the chesty, bikinied girls on the beach (guess who). Her mom's reassurances come true when the two grooviest surfers in town, Darren and Robertson, start paying Dee some attention. She falls in love with Darren, who gives up his surfboard at the summer's end and returns to college. Yvonne Craig's main scene is at the beginning of the film, when Dee and her friends (including Craig) go to the beach to attract guys.

The Gene Krupa Story (1960) 102m Columbia bw Sal Mineo, Susan Kohner, James Darren, Susan Oliver, Yvonne Craig (Gloria Corregio), Lawrence Dobkin, Celia Lovsky, Red Nichols, Bobby Troup, Anita O'Day, Ruby Lane, Gavin McLeod, John Bleifer, Shelley Manne, Buddy Lester. Directed by Don Weis.

Biography of Gene Krupa, the jazz drummer. Krupa's father wanted him to be a priest, but he chose music instead. He loses Kohner, his loving sweetheart, then gets involved with a "bad" girl, Oliver. Yvonne Craig appears in the first twenty minutes of the film, and plays a youthful nymphet who tries to seduce Krupa; it's a sultry role. (Celia Lovsky, who played T'Pau in the Star Trek episode "Amok Time," plays Krupa's mother. Furthermore, Yvonne Craig and Susan Oliver, who both appear in this film (though they have no scenes together), share something unique in common: they are the only two actresses ever to play green women in the Star Trek series.)

High Time (1960) 102m 20th Century-Fox color Bing Crosby, Fabian, Tuesday Weld, Nicole Maurey, Richard Beymer, Yvonne Craig (Randy "Scoop" Pruitt), Patrick Adiarte, Jimmy Boyd, Kenneth MacKenna, Gavin McLeod, Nina Shipman, Angus Duncan, Paul Schreiber, Dick Crockett, Frank Scannell. Directed by Blake Edwards.

Bing Crosby Musical Comedy, with Fabian and Gavin McLeod. Crosby is a rich Howard Johnson-type restaurateur with a string of eateries across the country. A 51-year-old widower with two grown children, he feels he's missing something by not going to college, so he enrolls in a local university. Yvonne Craig plays one of the students who befriend Crosby. She has several short scenes with Crosby and dances with him. As a result of being in this movie, Craig meets Jimmy Boyd (who is also in the film; he's the freshman who registers right before Crosby), and they soon married.

By Love Possessed (1961) 115m United Artists color Lana Turner, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., Jason Robards, Jr., George Hamilton, Susan Kohner, Barbara Bel Geddes, Thomas Mitchell, Everett Sloane, Yvonne Craig (Veronica Kovacs), Jean Willes, Frank Maxwell, Gilbert Green, Carroll O'Connor. Directed by John Sturges.

Drama, with a notable cast. Amid the calm pleasantry of this elite suburban east coast town, Zimbalist is plagued with a variety of emotional and social problems. After discovering that the head of his law firm, Mitchell, has been embezzling company money to pay back an old debt of honor, Zimbalist begins to feel stagnant in his marriage to Bel Geddes and his relationship with son Hamilton. He then finds himself in an adulterous affair with Turner, the wife of his crippled law partner, Robards. Yvonne Craig, in her own words, plays "the town tramp from the wrong side of the tracks" who gets mixed up with Hamilton. She is in a few scenes in the middle of the film, including a long sequence with Hamilton. Hamilton walks out on nice girl Kohner, looking instead for a good time. He picks up hash house waitress Craig, of whom the local doctor says, "She's been around more in her twenty years than the moon in its millions." They go to a bar and Craig urges Hamilton to put down his drink, saying, "If I get drunk and pass out, it's no fun for me. If you get drunk and pass out, it's no fun for me." They then spend some time alone in Hamilton's car. This movie was the first one ever shown on an airplane as in-flight entertainment.

Seven Women from Hell (1961) 88m 20th Century-Fox bw Patricia Owens, John Kerr, Denise Darcel, Cesar Romero, Margia Dean, Yvonne Craig (Janet Cook), Pilar Seurat, Sylvia Daneel, Richard Loo, Bob Okazaki, Lloyd Kino, Evadne Baker, Yuki Shimoda, Kam Fong Chun, Yankee Chang. Directed by Robert D. Webb.

War Drama, with Cesar Romero. A story about seven women escaping from a Japanese prison camp in New Guinea. Some of the women die along the way, and one takes up with a wealthy planter, Romero. Yvonne Craig plays one of the seven women, and has a large role. She is pregnant when she first arrives at the prison camp, but has a miscarriage before the women begin their escape.

It Happened at the World's Fair (1963) 105m MGM color Elvis Presley, Joan O'Brien, Gary Lockwood, Vicky Tiu, H. M. Wynant, Edith Atwater, Guy Raymond, Dorothy Green, Kam Tong, Yvonne Craig (Dorothy Johnson). Directed by Norman Taurog.

Elvis Musical. Bush pilot Elvis goes to the 1962 Seattle World's Fair and finds himself falling in love with nurse O'Brien while taking care of adorable tot Tiu. Yvonne Craig has one scene early in the film. Elvis tries to seduce her by singing, while chasing her around a couch. Yvonne and Elvis dated during October of 1962, after meeting during the making of this film.

Advance to the Rear (1964) 97m MGM bw Glenn Ford, Stella Stevens, Melvyn Douglas, Jim Backus, Joan Blondell, Andrew Prine, Jesse Pearson, Alan Hale, James Griffith, Whit Bissell, Michael Pate, Yvonne Craig (Ora), plus a few dozen more. Directed by George Marshall.

Comedy, directed by veteran western director George Marshall. A story about a company of Union Army misfits during the Civil War with Douglas as the hard-headed, by-the-book commanding officer and Ford as his frustrated second-in-command. The bumbling men go through impossible antics, including an attack against Confederate troops without guns. Yvonne Craig is on screen once, for about thirty-eight seconds. She plays a member of a traveling brothel that encounters the Union Army misfits. Yvonne says hello to one of the soldiers, and they exchange a few words and sit down to talk.

Kissin' Cousins (1964) 96m MGM color Elvis Presley, Arthur O'Connell, Glenda Farrell, Jack Albertson, Pam Austin, Cynthia Pepper, Yvonne Craig (Azalea Tatum), Donald Woods, Tommy Farrell, Beverly Powers, Hortense Petra, Robert Stone. Directed by Gene Nelson.

Elvis Musical. Elvis is a member of the Air Force sent to a rural area to talk the local inhabitants into selling their land for a base. O'Connell does not want to sell for fear that his moonshining business may be upset. Several romantic liaisons develop: between Elvis and his distant cousins (Yvonne Craig and Pam Austin), and between Elvis (in a dual role as O'Connell's blonde nephew) and a WAC (Pepper). Everything works out in the end. There's a big song and dance at the finish, with Yvonne Craig (among others) dancing, but most shots are very wide, and she is difficult to see. This is one of Craig's largest roles.

Ski Party (1965) 90m American International color Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, Deborah Walley, Yvonne Craig (Barbara Norris), Robert Q. Lewis, Bobbi Shaw, Aron Kincaid, Steve Rogers, Mike Nader, Jo Collins, Mickey Dora, John Boyer, Ronnie Dayton, Bill Sampson, Patti-Chandler, Salli Sachse, Sigi Engl, Mikki Jamison, Mary Hughes, Luree Holmes, The Hondells, James Brown and the Famous Flames, Lesley Gore, Annette Funicello. Directed by Alan Rafkin.

Frankie Avalon Musical Comedy, with Dwayne Hickman (known for Dobie Gillis), Annette Funicello, and James Brown performing "I Got You (I Fell Good)". Avalon and Hickman are a couple of college guys who can't figure out why their girls (Deborah Walley and Yvonne Craig) are attracted to the stodgy Kincaid. Everyone heads off to a ski lodge where Avalon and Hickman take up cross dressing to find out what Kincaid's appeal is. Yvonne is one of the two female leads and appears throughout the movie.

Quick, Before It Melts (1964) 97m MGM color George Maharis, Robert Morse, Anjanette Comer, James Gregory, Michael Constantine, Howard St. John, Norman Fell, Janine Gray, Bernard Fox, Richard LePore, Conlan Carter, Yvonne Craig (Sharon Sweigert), and a dozen more. Directed by Delbert Mann.

Comedy. Morse plays a shy journalist who has to cover "Little America" in Antarctica for his magazine. There he becomes embroiled in a series of mishaps involving the military, a rival journalist, and a penguin named Milton Fox. Yvonne Craig is Morse's fiancee, the daughter of the magazine's editor (St. John). She has many scenes with Morse (some on the phone with him), scattered throughout the entire movie.

Mars Needs Women (1966) 80m American International color Tommy Kirk, Yvonne Craig (Dr. Marjorie Bolen), Byron Lord, Anthony Houston, Larry Tanner, Warren Hammack, Cal Duggan, and many others. Directed by Larry Buchanan.

Science Fiction. Martians, led by Kirk, come to Earth in search of females to help repopulate Mars. Yvonne Craig plays Dr. Marjorie Bolen, a gerontologist who is abducted by Kirk. Perhaps because of its title and low budget, this film is sometimes reviewed as being very poorly made. Yvonne Craig agreed to be in the film in part because they gave her a free trip to Dallas (where it was filmed), home to her family. She is the female lead in the film, and gives a good performance. Buchanan, the maker of the film, sent me a letter concerning it; it reads in part: "American International pictures contracted me to deliver (as writer, director, producer) twelve Z-grade flicks, these to be churned out between my serious works. Each picture was budgeted at $30,000 script to screen!! (color, two young leads from Hollywood, feature length, shooting schedule, 9 days!) All of the pictures were profitable but the smash was 'Mars Needs Women'! Was it my contributions? Tommy Kirk as lead? The sci-fi genre? None of these. It was the classy, professional, elegant sex appeal of Yvonne Craig. While chaos swirled around her, she just flashed those beautiful green eyes and embraced her role like it was from Arthur Miller or Tennessee Williams. I adored her."

One of Our Spies is Missing (1966) 91m MGM color Robert Vaughn, David McCallum, Leo G. Carroll, Maurice Evans, Vera Miles, Ann Elder, Bernard Fox, Dolares Faith, Anna Capri, Harry Davis, Yvonne Craig (Wanda), Monica Keating, Cal Bolder, Robert Easton, James Doohan, Ollie O'Toole, Antony Eustrel, Richard Peel, Barry Bernard. Directed by E. Darrell Hellenbeck.

Man from U.N.C.L.E. tv episodes "The Bridge of Lions Affair", edited together, with additional footage shot using Yvonne Craig as the U.N.C.L.E. secretary. Included in the cast is Star Trek's James Doohan. Several cats from the Soho area of London disappear, and members of U.N.C.L.E. begin to suspect their rival organization, THRUSH, of being behind it. Also, a scientist suddenly looks 30 years younger, and Vaughn is sent to investigate.

One Spy Too Many (1966) 101m MGM color Robert Vaughn, David McCallum, Rip Torn, Dorothy Provine, Leo G. Carroll, Yvonne Craig (Maude Waverly), David Opatoshu, David Sheiner, Donna Michelle, Leon Lontoc, Robert Karnes, Clarke Gordon, James Hong, Cal Bolder, Carole Williams, Teru Shimada, Arthur Wong, Robert Gibbons. Directed by Joseph Sargent.

Another Man from U.N.C.L.E. feature made from tv episodes, in this case "The Alexander the Greater Affair". Again extra scenes were shot using Yvonne Craig, this time as Waverly's niece Maude. Rip Torn is a crazed scientist who plans to take control of the world by using his "will gas." Vaughn and McCallum track Torn to his Greek underground palace, but the secret agents are caught and left to die as Torn rushes to America to carry out his plan. Yvonne has many sexy scenes flirting with Vaughn, and one scene of her sun bathing with very little clothing.

In Like Flint (1967) 115m 20th Century-Fox color James Coburn, Lee J. Cobb, Jean Hale, Andrew Duggan, Anna Lee, Hanna Landy, Totty Ames, Steve Inhat, Thomas Hasson, Mary Michael, Diane Bond, Jacki Ray, Herb Edelman, Yvonne Craig (Natasha The Ballerina), Buzz Henry, and many more. Directed by Gordon Douglas.

Sequel to the James Bond parody Our Man Flint. Coburn must do battle with a secret society of women villains based in the Virgin Islands, who kidnap American astronauts and replace them with members of their squad to gain access to a space station that controls nuclear missiles, thus gaining control of the planet. Yvonne Craig has one scene in the middle of the film, when Coburn visits her to get information. We see her dance a little ballet, and then in contrast do some '60's style dancing. She speaks with a Russian accent, and she and Coburn have a rather passionate scene.

How to Frame a Figg (1971) 103m Universal color Don Knotts, Joe Flynn, Edward Andrews, Elaine Joyce, Yvonne Craig (Glorianna), Frank Welker, Parker Fennelly, Bill Zuckert, Pitt Herbert, Robert P. Lieb, and a dozen more. Directed by Alan Rafkin.

Don Knotts is a bumbling bookkeeper in the city hall of the small town of Dalton. Corrupt city officials Fennelly -- who's so decrepit that he must be transported around town in an ambulance -- Flynn, and Andrews have been stealing from the public till, so they frame Knotts to take the fall. Aided by wholesome girl Joyce, he's able to clear his name. Yvonne Craig has a large role in the film. She plays a scheming and very sexy secretary-mistress, in on the plot to frame Knotts. Craig is made Knotts' secretary, and she's very persistent in trying to use her seductive powers to get Knotts in trouble.

Diggin' Up Business (1990) 89m color Lynn-Holly Johnson, Tom Pardew, Michael David O'Neil, Billy Barty, Ruth Buzzi, Murray Langston, Yvonne Craig (Lucille), Nita Talbot, Gary Owens. Directed by Mark Byers.

Comedy, with Ruth Buzzi. A Young woman (Johnson) is left to run her family's mortuary while her grandfather goes on a vacation. When she learns that her grandfather is facing criminal charges and financial bankruptcy, she is forced to perform outrageous "specialty" funerals to get the debt-ridden funeral home back on its feet. Yvonne Craig and Ruth Buzzi play friends who are recent widows and decide to have their husbands' funerals at Johnson's mortuary. Most of Craig's scenes are in the first thirty minutes of the movie, and she also appears at the end.
