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

Debra Winger

Actress Debra Winger appeared on Wonder Woman as the title character’s younger sister, Drusilla. In the series, Drusilla visits Wonder Woman on Earth to convince her to come back to their home planet, but her older sister convinces her that the outside world needs Wonder Woman.

While there, Drusilla becomes Wonder Girl. She was only in three episodes and although producers wanted to keep her on the show, she bought herself out of her contract so she could move on to better acting pursuits. Even after she was offered the lead in a spin-off series for Wonder Girl, she still declined the opportunity.
