  I was out yesterday fanboy failing left and right, so when I got home, I crashed on the couch and did not get my story in on time.  Oh, well…first world problems.  I am thankful this week for so much, so I cannot complain.

Here’s a recent shot of the great Lindsay Wagner at a recent event at the Hollywood Museum. I’m so glad they’ve included her character Jaime Sommers in the Superheroes exhibit, considering that the Bionic Woman was the first ongoing female superhero on American TV. (Cathy Lee Crosby’s failed Wonder Woman pilot was ultimately a one-off in 1974; Lindsay made her debut as Jaime in a March 1975 episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, months before Joanna Cameron’s September 1975 debut in Secrets of Isis and Lynda Carter made her first appearance as Wonder Woman.)

Oh, and that Emmy? That was the one she received when she became the first actor (male or female) in a science-fiction series to win the top performance award.

EDIT: Gotta apologize for a factual error in my post. The first female superhero on TV was, of course, Yvonne Craig’s Batgirl in the Adam West Batman series. Jaime was, however, the first ongoing “superpowered” female superhero. (And for those keeping score, Joanna Cameron’s Isis was the first to get her own weekly TV show in the fall of 1975 as both Jaime and Wonder Woman didn’t go weekly until 1976).
