Adam West was a legendary actor that made a big impact on his fans. He also made a big impact on his co-stars from the Batman television series. For this article, I'll be going over how Adam West got along with them.
Burt Ward
Together, Adam West and Burt Ward were television's original Dynamic Duo. Due to Burt Ward being a young adult at the time, Adam West had a lot to teach his fellow caped crusader. The two became friends and worked together multiple times over the following decades. Burt Ward thought highly of Adam West. His tribute to Adam West was very emotional and sweet.
Yvonne Craig
Yvonne Craig, who played Batgirl, had been told that Adam West was a bit eccentric, but she said that Adam West never acted that way around her. He was more of a gentleman than she had been led to believe.
Alan Napier
Alan Napier played Alfred Pennyworth. According to Adam West, Alan Napier was a respectful gentleman in real-life as well as a great actor that had an impressive filmography.
Neil Hamilton
Adam West claimed that Neil Hamilton, who played Commissioner Gordon, wasn't easy to work with. He believed that Neil Hamilton was under the impression that the show was meant to be taken completely seriously. However, there are some people that believe that Neil Hamilton knew the tone of the show and purposely played Commissioner Gordon in an overdramatically serious way. Regardless of whether or not that was true, Neil Hamilton was a wonderful actor that did a great job as Commissioner Gordon.
Cesar Romero
Cesar Romero, who was the original Joker, would rest in a chair until it was time to come to set. However, when it came to work, Adam West was really surprised by how passionate and energetic Cesar Romero was.
Burgess Meredith
The Penguin was one of Adam West's favorite villains, because of what a great job Burgess Meredith did playing him.
Julie Newar
Adam West had great things to say about all three Catwoman actresses that he worked with. However, when asked to pick a favorite, he felt that it would be Julie Newmar. This was because he got to work with her the longest, so he got to know her more personally.
Frank Gorshin
Frank Gorshin played the villainous Riddler, one of Batman's sneakiest villains. However, in real-life, Adam West and Frank Gorshin were good friends. They enjoyed hanging out and partying together.
Victor Buono
Victor Buono, who played King Tut, was known for being a lot of fun to work with. Adam West was impressed by him and considered his character to be the best villain outside of the show's four main villains.
Vincent Price
Vincent Price, who played the eggcellent Egghead, was a fun performer for Adam West to work with. Adam West often enjoyed talking about the egg fight that happened while making Egghead's first appearance in the series.
Madge Blake
I saved my favorite story for last. Madge Blake played Harriet Cooper, Dick Grayson's aunt. For unknown reasons, she was going to be fired, but Adam West convinced the people making the show to keep her around. Because of Adam West's request, she was allowed to stay on the show. As a thank you, Madge Blake gave Adam West a cake.
