BIOGRAPHY:

Lindsay Wagner was born in Los Angeles, California, on June 22, 1949. Her parents divorced when she was seven years old. Her first career was as a model, but she soon grew to hate it and turned to acting, guest-starring in such television shows as "Night Gallery" (1970), "The Bold Ones: The Lawyers" (1969) and "Marcus Welby, M.D." (1969). Although she starred in the critically acclaimed The Paper Chase (1973), TV stardom beckoned when she guest-starred on "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1974). Her appearance was so well received that she was offered her own show, "The Bionic Woman" (1976), even though her character Jamie Sommers died on the "The Six Million Dollar Man." Fortunately for Lindsay, Universal Pictures--the studio that made SMDM--had let her contract lapse, and she was able to cut a lucrative deal for herself. She went on to win an Emmy Award for "The Bionic Woman" (1976), and her talent, beauty and popularity enabled her to parlay that show into a career as the "queen" of made-for-TV movies and miniseries, starring in 30 of them. Besides her Emmy award, she has been nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and a Cable Ace Award.
