| Lee Meriwether, with her daughter, stuntwoman Lesley Aletter, at the New Jersey Comic Expo held in Teaneck, NJ in November 2011. |
I want to take this opportunity to wish Lee Meriwether, who played Catwoman in the 1966 Batman movie, a Happy Birthday! Born in Los Angeles on this day in 1935, she turns 77. And she is still as attractive as ever!
And she is one of the nicest people I have met!
Long before Adam West encountered her as Kitka, Lee played Joanna Laurens, girlfriend to Inspector Lewis Erskine in Season One of The FBI (1965-66). From there, she went on to roles in The Time Tunnel (1966-67), and then on Barnaby Jones (1973-80).
I had the chance to meet her at Chiller Theatre in New Jersey in October 2005, at the Motor City Comic Con in Detroit in May 2006 and at the New Jersey Comic Expo in November 2011. And it looks like I am off to meet her again next month, at the Supermegashow in Whippany, NJ (she must be especially loved in the Garden State!).
Anyway, Lee, make this a great one!!
