I would like to wish a Happy Birthday (belatedly, on this board) to the original femme fatale, Molly, on Batman, Jill St. John. She turned 66 on 19 August, and remains hot! She was also the first Gothamite to become a Bond girl, in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever (Halle Berry was the second, though she technically was not).

Huh, I completely forgot that she was in Batman - I always associate her with DAF, tearing through Vegas in the red Mustang with Sean Connery.

Her character of Molly was also apparently the inspiration for Carrie Kelly, who was in the Frank Miller books. Carrie Kelly was the original female Robin (before Spoiler). And Ms. Kelly also has a feline connection, too, in that in the 2001 novel, she played Catgirl!

And in Batman: Thrillkiller '62, the idea of a redheaded Barbara Gordon cutting her hair and wearing the Robin suit looks like it was inspired by Ms. St. John's portrayal of Molly.
