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.

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.

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.
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.)

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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."

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.

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.

Sequel to the James Bond parody Our Man Flint.

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.

Don Knotts is a bumbling bookkeeper in the city hall of the small town of Dalton.

Yvonne Craig plays the daughter of Bertrand Allred, who is played by Neil Hamilton. Craig would again play the daughter of Neil Hamilton when he would star as Commissioner Gordon, and she would star as Barbara Gordon, in the Batman series. Craig's supporting role in the episode is substantial, including scenes with Raymond Burr and Neil Hamilton.
