We continue our look at actors who played villains in the 1966 Batman TV series. This time we turn to Ida Lupino, who played Cassandra Spellcraft, alongside her then-husband Howard Duff, who played her bumbling sidekick Cabala in the 1968 episode, “The Enchanting Doctor Cassandra”.

We begin by featuring an episode of Suspense in which they appeared together.

A wife and her husband (Lupino and Duff) take a shortcut down a country road where a deranged woman has escaped from a mental institution and already killed. They then run out of gas and find a woman screamning at them demanding to be let in their car.

Original Radio Brodcast Date: May 10, 1959

We then take a look at the Season 3 Batman Episode, “The Entrancing Dr. Cassandra”, where Lupino plays the titular alchemist who has figured out the secret of invisibility and has a daring plan to take care of the Terrific Trio and rule Gotham City.
