The Magician The Man Who Lost Himself E08 part 1/4

Bill Bixby's The Magician episode 8, The Man Who Lost Himself. Real life magician Larry Anderson makes his first appearance on the show as "Larry". More would follow in the 2nd half of the series, after the show was revamped. Special guest star Pamela Britton starred in "My Favorite Martian", Bill Bixby's first TV series from the 60's. Yvonne Craig once dated Bill Bixby and fans will recognize her as the original cat woman from the 60's Batman TV series. (I had the pleasure of briefly speaking with Mr. Allen Joseph a few years back about his time on The Magician).

@oldfan517 Also Lee Mariweather played Catwoman. Three actresses played that role. Lee Mariweather was also from Barnaby Jones.  She played, I think, his niece who was also his secretary.

@oldfan517 From memory, Yvonne's character name (apart from Batgirl) was Barbara Gordon, daughter of Commissioner Gordon. He of course didn't know her alias like everyone else in the show. And yes, I thought she was beautiful also.

Yvonne Craig wasn't Catwoman in the Batman 60's TV series, she was Batgirl. Catwoman was played by Julie Newmar in the first 2 seasons and Eartha Kitt in the 3rd. I wish Yvonne Craig's career had been more fruitful, she was and still is a beautiful lady.
