Julie Newmar pays tribute to friend and 'Batman' co-star Adam West: 'A king to the end'
As arguably the greatest on-screen Catwoman of them all, Julie Newmar co-starred with Adam West on the campy “Batman” TV series in the '60s, and the two were friends since.
The Times reached out to Newmar for her thoughts on West, whom she saw a few weeks ago at the Hollywood Show, an autograph signing experience for fans:
Stellar, exemplar, a king to the end. He was bright, witty and fun to work with. I will miss him in the physical world and savor him always in the world of imagination and creativity. He meant so much to people. A friend said: 'The father that we wanted.' That is a great gift, no matter how you live it."

Adam West's 'Batman' co-stars Burt Ward and Julie Newmar open up about 'unexpected loss'
Former “Batman” co-stars Burt Ward and Julie Newmar took time to remember Adam West, who died Friday at age 88 from leukemia.
“Adam and I had a special friendship for more than 50 years,” Ward told Fox News. The 71-year-old actor starred opposite West as sidekick Robin in the superhero series, which ran from 1966 through 1968.
“We shared some of the most fun times of our lives together; our families have deep love and respect for each other,” he added. “This is a terribly unexpected loss of my lifelong friend. I will forever miss him. There are several fine actors who have portrayed Batman in films, in my eyes there was only one real Batman and that is and always will be Adam West; He was truly the Bright Knight.”
