I want you to know I really like Lindsay Wagner

She could sell the shit out of a mattress!

I enjoyed it when she ran 65 mph

Loved her also! Graham Norton hated her, though. Her appearance was so bad on his show, that she had the episode scrubbed. (allegedly)

She had the best TV movies. She elevated the genre. Along with Liz Montgomery and Patty Duke. I miss those days.

I hate to add this on a dead thread because no one will ever see this, but Bionic Woman (original) is on Prime and Lindsay Wagner is so likable and a much better actor than the script allows for. She deserved a much better career. And she is still gorgeous, although she does have man hands.

Love her. Why does Hollywood not realise we older public wud love to see old stars like her, pop up in shows? Why isnt there important players in Hollywood who want to work with their childhood idols?

Was she the Bionic Woman? If so - I liked her too.

Supposedly she had a bionic pussy 2

You just stick with that restraining order and keep 500 yards away from me, you sick stalker.

R5- She’s a much better ACTRESS not actor.

R10 I remember a couple of years ago I was working with a militant lesbian in my workplace, and she was big on correcting everyone whenever 'gender distinction' came up in conversation. It always required a lecture on what was acceptable and what was not in the 2020s.

At one time, a few of us were discussing movies, and I mentioned Florence Pugh being a very good 'actress' in 'A Good Person'. She glared at me and corrected me , saying ' We don't call females 'actress' anymore, everyone is an 'actor'. Everyone went quiet because we knew we were in for a lecture from her.

I quickly responded, 'When the Tonys, Emmys and Oscars decide to drop 'Actress' from their competitive categories, and lump everyone together under 'actor', I will take your advisement. Maybe you can start a movement with those organizations and correct them ? ' She stood there stunned, glaring at me while everyone gasped. What could she possibly say to that ? She turned and walked away - and from that day on, she never corrected anyone again (at least not in front of me).

I always thought she had a lot more talent than she was given credit for.

I loved her tv movies and miniseries.

Does anyone remember Callie and Son? Featuring a very, very young Michelle Pfeiffer.

OP- I want you to know I REALLY like Jamie Sommers.

OP- You're a FEMBOT

I remember when CBS was trying to develop 'Scruples' into a weekly night time soap in the Spring of 1981 to see if it would keep the ratings it had as a mini-series in February, 1980. Supposedly, despite a very lucrative deal offered, Wagner had no interest in another weekly one-hour drama, so they couldn't keep her as the main character. Different names kept cropping up in the gossip columns, with Susan Anton seeming to be the favorite (remember when her team was trying to make her 'happen' ?), but then the project was shelved after so much time dragged on. I always wondered if it was because CBS also had 'Falcon Crest' on the schedule for Fall, and along with their hits 'Dallas' and 'Knots Landing', they may not wanted an over-kill with night time soaps.

She was better as Prof. Kingsfield’s daughter Susan in The Paper Chase.

I never understood why Susan Anton was famous, except she was an Amazon so maybe a sideshow freak let loose in Hollywood?

I loved her as a kid. My parents used to call Jamie Sommers a panic merchant because she'd have a meltdown in every episode.

That phrase needs to be brought back.

She's no Lisa Galloway

r13 Then spell her name correctly, dimwit.

R17 I agree. Anton was everywhere at the time - guest starring in every show, presenting at every award show, etc. Her team worked overtime shoving her down our throats in the early 80s. Yet she didn't seem to show any talent in what she did. I think around the same time, she was also up to replace bot Kate Jackson and later Shelley Hack on 'Charlie's Angels' and ABC wisely passed on her twice.

R16- Bottoms?

I didn’t know he was gay.

He came from a family of bottoms. His bro Joe:

R3 I remember seeing that episode. She was the cuntess supreme, and I haven't liked her since.

Graham was a huge fan of hers and grew up loving the Bionic Woman. He was so excited to have her on and brought out his Bionic Woman lunchbox and various Bionic Woman toys and dolls he had as a child, and she essentially sniffed her nose at him and didn't want to discuss the show. Later in the show, he did some kind of activity (I can't remember what it was) which required the guests to get up and move across the stage to another location. Lindsay refused to get up. She said, "I'll just stay here." She was just a bitch.

r24 Wow. I wish I could see it. I remember some article in which he recalled that she was basically the worst guest he ever had - which was so surprising, because she had a great reputation. I have searched for that episode, but I guess it's "unavailable."

R25 Yes, Wagner had a huge fit after Graham gave an interview regarding her disastrous guest appearance and demanded the episode never be aired again. The show's producers agreed to remove it.

I think she’s just introverted. I mean, she rarely makes public appearances and is rarely in the press.

R27 That's no excuse for being a complete cunt.

R24 I remember in that episode, Graham held up one of his Bionic Woman dolls and asked her a very benign question: "Do you remember when you first saw this?" She just looked at him sternly and answered "no." She clearly was not wanting to discuss the role that put her on the map.

I don't know why she was such a bitch on that episode. It's not like she had a new project to promote that Graham could ask her about. What the hell else was he going to ask her about? She's synonymous with The Bionic Woman.

In the interview about that episode, Graham said he thought she just wanted a free trip to London and that's why she agreed to come on the show, but she wasn't going to put forth any effort.

I had a Bionic Woman doll! I loved it ❤️there was a secret red purse full of spy stuff (aka plastic shit made in Taiwan)

Back then toys came from Mexico or Japan

My favorite Bionic Woman episode is the two-parter where she has to stop a doomsday machine from initiating the nukes. It's lots and lots of Jaime trying to reason with a HALesque computer. Lindsay won the Emmy for 1976-77, but not for that one, rather the dual role two-parter with a convict who had surgery to look like Jaime.

And then when the show moved to NBC, everyone just kinda gave up on it.

Susan Anton could sing, just watch her acclaimed performance in the 1983 classic Spring Fever (not to be confused with the teen sex comedy Spring Break released the same year), a film about two teenage girls fighting to be the top in the junior tennis world. Anton played the poor girl's mother, a Vegas showgirl and lounge singer. Jessica Walter, plays the wealthy girls mother, shockingly a rich bitch, who leaves Anton a 'tip' in the piano tip jar after Anton sings at the hotel bar. Anton was also a dynamo in the sack, if Dudley Moore and the married Sly Stallone are to be believed.

She tied for 2nd runner-up at Miss America 1970

r34 "the married Sly Stallone are to be believed"

Is the unmarried Sly not to be believed?

In 1981 I paid to see Lindsay and Stallone in "Nighthawks" and I'd still like my money back.

Lindsay starred with DL faves Olympia Dukakis and Jean Stapleton in the 1991 TV movie “Fire in the Dark.” I may give it another watch! ———————- A 75-year old widow with battles herself as she struggles with being a burden to those she loves. Though determined not to rely on her children, she is forced to move in with her daughter after a serious fall, and the family learns to face the future with dignity and hope.

I binged a bunch of The Bionic Woman episodes a few years back. It was fun to revisit but I admit I wasn't very impressed with Wagner's acting. As a kid I was smitten with her but she wasn't as charming as I remembered. And good lord when they let her sing. Yikes!

Lindsay’s rendition of “Feelings” could peel the paint clean off the walls!
