WONDER FACTS

Last night, as a belated b-day present from Darren, I got the Wonder Woman DVD box set. Man, did that bring back memories ! I did not realize it then but this show was so heavy on the CAMP! We also sat mesmerized through the Wonder Retro Documentary and did you know that...

1. Wonder Woman creator, William Moulton Marston, also invented the Lie Detector! then imbued that science into his heroine's magic lasso.

2. Lynda Carter, having been a dancer, suggested that she twirl as she changed into Wonder Woman.

3. HOWEVER, in the first few episodes, the infamous twirl was only a stop-n-go motion camera trick which had Lynda Carter doing a slow-mo strip tease. Too expensive and timely to set up the shot each time, producers decided to come up with an alt. that was ultimately better and almost orgasmic! "I know, let's have her spin into a burst of light!"



4. Wonder Woman's bracelets actually had a sparking contraption built into them and Lynda Carter would set them off herself by squeezing a small pump held in her hand - hence her fists always being closed!

5. Wonder Woman's outfit got a sexy upgrade as she switched from ABC to CBS.
