Wonder Woman: Who's Afriad of Diana Prince? was the first pilot of a potential WW series that fortunately didn't sell
27 July 2011
Just watched this short pilot of a potential Wonder Woman TV series on YouTube twice. In this version, produced by the '60s campy "Batman" producer William Dozier, Diana Prince (Ellie Wood Walker) and her mother are in an apartment when Diana "hears" a possible help from Steve about his plane. Despite the rain, she needs to go to save him but not before her nagging mom tells her to eat. When she changes to the iconic costume, she then looks in the mirror (where her reflection is played by the more beautiful Linda Harrison) and begins to make preening gestures all over herself! Okay, I think I've described enough to just say how awful this pilot was and it's just as well it wasn't sold to series as would we eventually have the stunning Lynda Carter playing WW as she was meant to be otherwise? Only if you're curious enough would I recommend Wonder Woman: Who's Afriad of Diana Prince?. By the way, one of the writers was one Stanley Ralph Ross who would eventually be the one to properly develop the Carter series during the '70s.
