Yvonne Craig was born in Columbus, Ohio. Her family in 1951 moved to the Oak Cliff neighborhood in Dallas, Texas, where she attended W. H. Adamson High School and then Sunset High School, from where she failed to be able to graduate due to the absence of "a single PE credit." After being discovered by Alexandra Danilova, a ballerina as well as an instructor, Craig joined the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo as its newest corps de ballet participant. She was able to do stunts while playing Batgirl due to her training. She left the ballet company in 1957 "over an argument over casting changes" and relocated to Los Angeles in the hopes of pursuing her dance career however, she was acting in films.
