From Actor Feuds To Alcoholism: Behind The Scenes Of Wonder Woman

Presto Change-o

Wonder Woman’s transformation from normal citizen Diana Prince to her superheroine persona is one of the most iconic moments of the 1970s television. For the first two episodes, the producers accomplished this by spinning Carter’s clothes off in slow motion. But since the process was too time-consuming and expensive to do for every episode, the producers thought of another way to do this.

From episode three throughout the rest of the series, the show’s creators used a ball of light to fabricate the transition. It was definitely a cheaper way to go about it without sacrificing any of the special effects.
