Here’s a photograph of Batman as seen in the classic TV series Batman (1966-1968), autographed by Adam West. In 2006, I sent him a letter. About two months later, I received this hand signed photo.

It's with great sadness today that I found out my childhood hero Adam West who played Batman in 1966 TV series passed today. He will always be my Batman no matter how strange and campy he was. He's the Original for many of us and he will be missed. #adamwestrip #adamwest #batman #inkwashdrawing #blackandwhite #hero #1966batman

To Wong Fun selfie

Holding my 2013 Mattel™ Batman: Classic TV Series action figure of Catwoman.  The most famous actress to play Catwoman in the 1966-1968 Batman television series was Julie Newmar (born 1933), but in the character of Catwoman / Ms. Kitka in the 1966 Batman television movie was played by Lee Meriwether (born 1935), and close to the end of the series the character broke racial stereotypes by having the Eartha Kitt (born Eartha Mae Keith; 1927-2008) play the sexy cat-burglar.

Postscript:

The title refers to the 1995 film “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar”; starring Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo as three New York City drag queens who idolized the actress as “statuesque”.
