Wonder Woman 1974 40th Anniversary

A montage of stills from 1974.
Despite the 1967 effort with Ellie Walker and Linda Harrison, this is the first live-action appearance of Wonder Woman starring Cathy Lee Crosby, the then famous tennis player turned actor. Lynda Carter auditioned but was rejected for the role, but as we know got the part the following year. Also appears the first time Ricardo Montalban wears a white suit that became his trademark in the later popular series, Fantasy Island.
This Wonder Woman has a decent story line and depicts an Amazon with enhanced abilities rather than all of her super powers more commonly known today.
Prior to 1974, Wonder Woman renounced her super powers for just over four years and got by with martial arts skills and wits and without her familiar costume and super powers. Perhaps this era was the influence for this film.
Overall an interesting piece of history. Consider this a Wonder Woman of a parallel Earth.

Yes! Celebrating the first Wonder Woman series. During this pandemic I need to watch some wholesome shows.

[@antoniolicona1858]

This movie had its " own style! "....

[@pallasathena5917]

Great. In ways Cathy was a better actress as she was natural and believable in the role. Why they could not have her hair coloured black for the movie is incredible. They did with the 2011 pilot.

[@Kenny-The_Wine_Guy]

She's more of a Super Spy than a Amazonian version of Superman. More grounded in reality I guess. I could see her being the Wonder Woman in say, Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Universe.

I like that theme song, though it sounds a little more '60s than '70s

[@andrewfauver966]

I disagree with that.

[@jamieevans4877]

Nice boots

[@anthonybarlow5955]

I love reading comments left by TV critics you make me feel like I don't know anything about good TV

[@libra7.063]

Wow, so sorry I never knew about Cathy Lee Crosby as the 1st WW.

[@JaneSt.Valentine]

Ironically, while this costume is the least accurate to the *comics*, it **_does_** bear the most resemblance (granted, a superficial one) to clothing worn by the *Scythians,* whom the Amazons of myth were based on...

[@catherineholdsworth5315]

[@hugoboss5895]

She’s no Lynda carter but still beautiful.
