'Lindsay Wagner' (qv) was born in Los Angeles California on June
22, 1949. Her parents divorced when Lindsay was 7 years old. She
started out her career as a model but hated modeling and soon
started her acting career guest starring in such television shows
as Night Gallery, The Bold Ones, and Marcus Welby, MD. Although
Lindsay starred in the critically acclaimed movie "The Paper Chase"
in 1973 TV stardom beckoned when she guest starred on "The Six
Million Dollar Man". Lindsay's appearance was so popular that she
was offered her own show "The Bionic Woman" even though her
character Jamie Sommers has died on the SMDM. The studio that made
SMDM, Univerisal, had let Lindsay's contract lapse and this led to
a most lucrative deal for Ms. Wagner. Lindsay went on to win an
Emmy Award for "The Bionic Woman" and parlayed her talent and
popularity into becoming the "queen" of television movies and
miniseries. Lindsay has made over 30 movies and besides her Emmy
award has been nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and a Cable
Ace Award.
