Burt Ward's crazy date

Post by doubleknotspy »

Just watched Back to the Batcave again. One of the scenes references a nutty chick that Burt bedded from the show. Was this girls name ever revealed?

I should hope not, but if it was, you'd find it in Ward's autobiography, "My Life in Tights."

Of course, whether it's actually true is another question. And be warned that the list of suspects will probably approach triple digits.

Note: This should in no way be interpreted as a recommendation for the book. But if you have a table with one leg too short, I do recommend it as a possible solution for that.

Considering Burt's dissolving marriage fell apart in the second quarter of 1966 and he was (presumably) dating Kathy Kersh (who he married in February 1967) by October, that doesn't leave him a lot of time to go wild. Especially with the break-neck production pace, the public appearances and becoming a new father baked into that short window.

I recall Sherry Jackson noting that Burt's first wife was more than a tad shrewish when Sherry was playing Pauline in the Riddler silent movie caper.

The girl playing the psycho is Nina West, Adam's daughter.
The show is based on both Adam and Burt's books. I highly recommend Adam's.

Let's tread carefully guys. This isn't the kind of topic normally discussed here.

was just curious since it was a prominent scene in the tv movie, mentioned in Burt's book and I had never heard a name tied to the stories. My apologies if it should be out of bounds for this Board.
