    RIP Francine York

    Some may remember her from the 66 batman tv series as Bookworm's moll, Lydia Limpet. She was also a very versatile actress and appeared in other movies and tv shows. Rip, Francine.


    She was memorable as a villainess on TV's 'Batman' and in such films as 'Bedtime Story,' 'Cannon for Cordoba' and 'The Doll Squad.'

      Very saddened to hear this... Couple of years I emailed for while with her partner and he commissioned me to make a Mego doll of Lydia Limpet for Francine. She signed a custom Mego box for me and even included a letter... she was such a lovely lady

          Man, that sucks I just saw her last night in a documentary. Loved her in Doll Squad and Jason of Star Command.

              Wow, she looked amazing for 80! Very sad news, indeed. May she rest in peace.
