(February 25, 1967 - 1969) (divorced)
"Besides the good notices she received for Batman, Kathy also gained a new romance.
She and the Boy Wonder, Burt Ward, hit it off immediately. Soon after, Ward obtained a quickie Mexican divorce from his wife. He and Kathy were married on Feb. 25, 1967 in Las Vegas because she was performing at the Tropicana Hotel. This proved to be another short-lived marriage and the couple divorced two years later. Though her face was not be seen much on either the small or big screen at that time, Kersh’s beautiful visage was splattered across all the popular rags including Photoplay, Modern Screen, Motion Picture, TV Movie Screen, Movieland, and Movie Tattler due to her romantic exploits keeping her very much in the public eye.
Years later Ward wrote his autobiography entitled Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights where he expounded on his sexual conquests and big organ, but not much on his acting career. Commenting on the book, Kersh said, “Under the circumstances it wasn’t too bad. I don’t expect an ex-husband to be nice. I wouldn’t agree with everything he put in there, but some of it was true. We met on the set and got along great obviously. He was fun. It was strange he had not acted before. If Batman was not his first interview, it was real close to it. To get a series so early in your career is so unusual. He didn’t have any great pretensions about being a great actor.
We had a good time and he told me so many great stories. There were so many in-things in Batman. The writers would slip in—particularly in the later episodes—in-jokes about the cast or crew. After Burt told me, it made the show so funny for me. I began watching it—I hadn’t watched it very much before.”
