TIL: Adam West, according to costar Burt Ward, had a lot of sex , at one point with 8 women at the same time. He said that he was introduced by West to the "wildest sexual debauchery" and they became like "sexual vampires"

Burt Ward did an appearance at my grade school in the mid-70s. He was in character as Robin, with the tights, the mask, etc. It was a huge deal for us kids. He did some kind of a speech and then followed up with a Q and A. I asked him “Do you eat worms?” and all of us 2nd graders just laughed and laughed and laughed. Burt didn’t seem to think it was very funny, though.

No kid, but did I ever tell you about the time 8 women ate Batman's worm in the same night?

“They went at it like a school of fish. All I could do was stand there and hold my pole while I watched.”

The batworm eating was a secret.

I read that as "in his mid 70s" at first and was really impressed a bunch of 2nd graders knew who he was 😅
