Lindsay Wagner

First worked with Lee Majors when she guest-starred on his series Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law (1971) in 1971. A few years later she became famous as The Bionic Woman (1976), a role that she first played on The Six Million Dollar Man (1974), where Majors played the title role.

Lindsay Wagner makes little distinction between her life as an actress, advocate, mother or author. What unites these various parts is a commitment through her work and her personal life to exploring and advancing human potential. Lindsay first came to prominence in the critically-acclaimed role of Susan Fields in The Paper Chase (1973), but received household recognition worldwide when she broke the mold for women on television with her iconic portrayal of Jaime Sommers.

Was the primary guest star on the very first episode (the pilot, actually) of The Rockford Files (1974).

As she collaborated with the writers, The Bionic Woman (1976) became an inspiration around the world and, in 1977, Lindsay won the Emmy for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series".

Her now-strong influence in the media and a desire to use that as a way to communicate ideas to help people in their personal journey is demonstrated in so many of the films in which she starred, such as: The Incredible Journey of Doctor Meg Laurel (1979), the struggle between naturopathic and allopathic healthcare (1979); I Want to Live (1983), the moral dilemma regarding capital punishment (1983); Child's Cry (1986), child sexual abuse (1986); The Taking of Flight 847: The Uli Derickson Story (1988), some root complexities of terrorism (1988); Evil in Clear River (1988), the quiet rise of the Neo-Nazi movement in America (1988); Shattered Dreams (1990), on family violence, which she also co-produced (1991); Fighting for My Daughter (1995), highlighting the problem of teen prostitution (1995); Thicker Than Water (2005), expressing compassion for the animal kingdom and the importance of family (2005); Four Extraordinary Women (2006), the emotional effect of breast cancer on family members (2006). As a result of the volume of her successful productions, she was often referred to as the "Queen of TV Movies". Lindsay has long been acknowledged as one of the top leading spokespersons in the United States, a role she took very seriously with regard to the impact it would have on the public, which in turn reinforced her position as a respected voice in the community.

She has also been heavily involved in human rights, domestic violence, animal welfare and the environment.

Agreed to act as the "Bionic Woman" in Bionic Ever After? (1994) only on the condition that her character marries the "Six Million Dollar Man", since she felt it was unfair that fans had been waiting almost 20 years for the marriage to take place. The producers acquiesced, and the television movie ends with a wedding.

Before Kate Mulgrew was chosen, her name was often mentioned as a possible replacement for Geneviève Bujold as Capt,. Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager (1995).
