Who played Julie's stunt double?

I find Marilyn looks like Lee Meriwether's Catwoman - at least in that b&w photo.

Link to a Flickr page, possibly hers. Much better and higher-res versions of the above picture and a few more.

Thanks for the link. There are some BTS pix and promo photos from the show that I hadn't seen before.

She resembles a young Diane Keaton to me.

Good call, like from her Annie Hall days.

FINALLY The Mystery is SOLVED! True, even Batman would be proud!

Thanks for the link! Hadn't seen some of the pictures before. Very interesting!

She resembles a young Diane Keaton to me. I'm guessing she played Catwoman in the Dr. Cassandra episode. Which would make her the 4th Catwoman.

Technically, since Julie was the original, and Marilyn was HER double, doesn't that make her the second Catwoman?

She was great though! She looked great in the outfit. I remember reading in Comics Scene or Starlog -- can't remember which -- in an interview Yvonne Craig addressing the myth of Adam West being out of shape during Batman. She said word to the effect that Adam was in really good shape, but that she could never understand why they chose a stunt double for him who had a gut. Thus perpetuating the idea that Adam was "fat". I always thought it was nice that she took up for Adam.

Julie Newmar's stunt double was my mom, Marilyn Watson. She now lives in Palm Desert, and is in good health at 87 years old.

Welcome to the board.

Does your mother have any interesting stories from Batman (or any other shows)? I think everyone here would love to hear anything she would like to share.

Check around by Googling for pics of the regular stunt doubles for the arch villains, who returned for the penultimate episode, including Fred Carson (Joker), Eddie Hice (Riddler), Guy Way (King Tut), Al Cavens (Penguin), an unknown as Egghead (wasn't listed on callsheets for "The Entrancing Dr Cassandra", but perhaps Al Wyatt Sr.?) and Marilyn Watson (Julie Newmar's Catwoman).

I would love to confirm who was Egghead's stunt guy in the Dr Cassandra episode. Al Wyatt Sr. wasn't listed on call sheets like the other five were.

Here's a good shot of Vincent Price's stunt guy, Al Wyatt Sr., in early episodes:
