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

Who Else Wanted To Be Wonder Woman?

It was quite a surprise to many when producers decided to cast Lynda Carter in the role of Wonder Woman, especially considering the big names that she beat out to get the part. As previously mentioned, Carter got the part over Joanna Cassidy, who was considerably more well-known as an actress at the time, having been in other series such as Mission: Impossible, Starsky & Hutch, and Taxi.

But Cassidy fared well anyway, receiving a Golden Globe Award for her work in Buffalo Bill. Angie Bowie, an actress and former spouse of David Bowie, was also reportedly interested in the role of Wonder Woman.
