Whatever Happened to Judy Strangis from "Room 222" and "Electra Woman & Dyna Girl"

[@georgeorwell4534]

Great post. Couple more mentions. Judy Strangis was also the pitchwoman for Plymouth cars, especially the Duster, Volare and Road Runner as “Mean Mary Jean” from 1974 to 1976. In her football jersey and shorts she was every guys idea of a fun “girl” (forgive the sexism). She then pitched Barbie in 1976 and did a great job there. My thoughts of her are a person with star quality. She always stood out in the “Room 222” episodes and she’s one of those people who you say “the camera loves her”. Thanks for this, you made me think of a fun time in my life.

[@jdsundstrom]

You're welcome, George. It was a fun time in my life as well!

[@scottbillhirst9632]

Beautiful woman. Born December 23, 1949. A fantasy of mine! She is married. I would be proud to be seen with her! I recall she was in the first Batman TV show with the Riddler as a screaming girl. Her sister Cindy Malone was in an episode when the Penguin ran for Mayor. Karen Valentine was born in 1947 only two years older. I like her also. She was in a segment of Love American Style dealing with Love and The Mind Reader. Was on at least one Barnaby Jones episode.

[@kathleenmacdonald5511]

I loved Mean MaryJean! She was in Dodge commercials as mean maryjean in 73/74. I LOVED her hairstyle and often tried to copy it, until the Farrah Fawcett hair became so popular. My hair did FF easier than JS but I never forgot her. I am glad she is still alive and enjoying life.

[@joelyost8768]

Met her at an auto show in 1974, during her Mean Mary Jean days. She was extremely sweet, had an amazing laugh. Nice, nice genuine person.

[@TheSWolfe]

I'd forgotten she was Mean Mary Jean, our "Chrysler Plymouth girl." In grade-school, I had red/blue shorts & matching football-style cotton jersey I wore constantly w/long pigtails under my "Mean Mary Jean" hat: a shiny white woven straw beanie surrounded in big blue & red felt stars. i wore that goofy hat everywhere! I watched "Room 222" & "EW & DG" as a child, but Judy's car commercial role w/it's catchy jingle had a more immediate impact on my young psyche. Insidious marketing? Indeed. But, goodness, what a cutie she was! Glad no tragic ending here, as is so often w/these "whatever happened to" vids.

Only friendster and flickr were / are non-cesspools in my opinion.

You forgot to mention ONE MAJOR 1970s Judy Strangis gig, one that I remember her best - and that was as "Mean Mary Jean" in the Chrysler-Plymouth commercials, in the early to mid-'70s, especially those featuring the Plymouth Duster!! I knew about her because of that, and then as DynaGirl!

[@johngrant5388]

Judy was always great fun and a pleasure to watch on both Room 222 and Electra Woman and Dynamic Girl. I did not watch her in her other TV appearances except when I randomly saw her on a show and said “Hey I know who that is or hey I recognize her” It’s nice to hear in this post that she got out OK and is doing well.

Between her, Karen Valentine, Yvonne Craig and Diana Rigg, I had a good standard for beauty, brains and sexuality growing up. I also remember a cameo in the first few moments of a 1971 Bill Bixby tv movie, "Congratulations! It's a Boy!" I just watched the intro (on KZbin) to make sure. After 48 years, those few moments of her beautiful face and unforgettable voice are still seared into my memory.

She was embedded in my psyche - I was glued to Room 222 (6 yrs old) & EW/DG (13 yrs old) as a kid. But for me especially from 222 because she was the ultra-cool yet sweet benevolent beauty.

The movie was one of the highest rated ABC movies of the week. It had a sequel in 1973 "My Darling Daughter's Anniversary" I read that the second film was meant to be a pilot for a series, but nothing came of it.

Electra Woman & Dyna Girl was only 16 episodes? It seemed like a lot more. Me & my friend used to run around our neighborhood in Tumwater, WA pretending to be the boy versions of Electra Woman & Dyna Girl. We used Hot Wheels segments strapped to our wrists with belts or string for the Electra gadgets. I always remembered the show but over the years forgot the character names. Then one day I was watching Reba McEntire's show Reba. Barbara Jean kept trying to convince Reba to join her on some hair-brained adventure. Her selling point was they would be like Electra Woman & Dyna Girl. She kept singing the theme song but substituted the names "Barbara Jean & Reba" into it. Immediately my memory of the show was restored. Now if somebody could just build a time machine...

A lot of actresses from the 60's and 70's were quietly forced out of the industry if they weren't A-list headliners in feature films or television. Soap Operas were the rare exception where an actresses's career could flourish long after her looks began to fade. Judy looks like she aged very well and if Hollywood were a bit kinder to her she might have been able to make more of an impact but from what was said here she seems to be at peace with her time in Hollywood and is most likely very happy with her current life and I do wish her the best in all she does.

"ELECTRA WOMAN & DYNA GIRL" was interesting, and since it was a near spoof of DC's Batman, the segment of ABC's "THE KROFFT SUPERSHOW' in Fall 1976 also had a near look and feel like the 60s Batman. in fact, some of Ralph Hickey's sound effects were also used this Sid & Marty Krofft segment (Hickey was a sound effects man at 20th Century Fox, and was also a sound engineer on the "BATMAN" series) and, Sam Strangis, the brother of actress Judy Strangis, was the producer of "BATMAN"s third and final season (1967-68) and another interesting fact here, is that "ELECTRA WOMAN & DYNA GIRL" was created by Joe Ruby & Ken Spears, who later formed their own animation studio Ruby-Spears in 1978, which was originally a division of Filmways, but was later sold to The Taft Broadcasting Company in 1981 when Filmways went defunct (sold to Orion Pictures Corporation) and became the sister studio to Hanna-Barbera Productions, which is where Joe Ruby and Ken Spears originally got their start, where they technically created "SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOU?" in 1969.

@@jdsundstrom Did you also know that Joe Ruby was also a film editor on "BATMAN", "THE TIME TUNNEL", and "LOST IN SPACE" at 20th Century Fox TV, and that both Joe Ruby & Ken Spears were executive story consults on CBS and 20th Century Fox Television's "PLANET OF THE APES" series in Fall 1974? and also, Judy Strangis' brother Greg Strangis was a producer of Paramount Television's syndicated "WAR OF THE WORLDS" in Fall 1988 that was filmed in Canada.

IMDB.com says she gave up acting and started doing voice over because of being stalked. After what happened to John Lennon and the girl on My Sister Sam, both murdered by stalkers, it is no wonder she did that.

Judy is Awesome and EW & DG is my favorite of all the Krofft shows. I also enjoyed Goldie Gold long before I knew she voiced the character, but please don't compare her to PH. I really like how Judy seemed to embrace her time as Dyna Girl and not shy away from it like some stars do. They really don't make shows like that anymore. They were magical when I was a kid.

I know, Danny! I'm right there with you. I said "Paris Hilton type money" but still I shouldn't have even uttered her name.

I was well aware of mean mary jean from the plymouth commercials....then when she popped up on electra woman I was floored.imagine my surprise when I went to work at a chrysler dealer...and right there on the glass wall between the parts department and the service bays was a sticker with Judy(mean Mary) smiling widely and it clearly stating "We're #1!". Was awesome to see that.

She was utterly A.D.😍.R.A.B.L.E.

[@donnicholas7552]

Wow! I had no idea Spike Jones was her uncle! very cool! I loved her work on Room 222 and Electra Woman & Dyna Girl.

[@jdsundstrom]

Yah, I had no idea either until I started doing my research for this particular video!

[@nortondumont9711]

Watched "Room 222" as a child so I never noticed how pretty she is. Belated congrats on 30K subscribers, Dave!

[@jdsundstrom]

Thanks Norton! It's exciting to see my little channel continue to grow. 🙂

[@AdamBaum9]

Thank you for this video. I never knew that DynaGirl was on Room 222, which I remember from my childhood, but not well. But I do remember Mean Mary Jean from Chrysler commercials.

[@jdsundstrom]

You're welcome, Adam!

[@mhansen52]

Oh my gosh, maybe my #1 TV crush ever!!!

[@patrickperalta59]

I loved her on Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. I loved Goldie Gold and Action Jack. at the time one Team up on cartoons I always wanted to see was Goldie Gold and Richie Rich. both cartoons were on ABC and on the air about the same time in the early 80's. I mean if Scooby-Doo could have a show where he meets many celebritys from the past like Batman and Robin , Don Knotts, Adam's Family and 3 Stooges to name a few then why not team up Goldie Gold and Richie Rich. The worlds Richest Boy meeting the Worlds Richest Girl.

[@jdsundstrom]

Great suggestion, Patrick! I would have loved to have seen that team-up as well.

[@davidmoore535]

Love you Dynagirl!! I wish I had an autographed picture of you and Electrawoman!! And a Electrawoman and Dynagirl Deluxe Action Figure Set!! And the DVDs of the show!!

To those who are saying they didn't remember Room 222: where *did* you first encounter Bruno Kirby?
