I used to work for a guy who worked on the studio lot when the show was in production. He had lunch with Lynda quite often and said besides being absolutely gorgeous she was one of the sweetest and classiest ladies he had ever met.
remember doing this transformation and having to mix so many takes together cost a lot of money which is why the explosion one came around - as it solved the problem of cost
Anyone notice that Mary J. Blige's song "Be Happy" sounds just like a Wonder Woman spin from the very start of the song till Mary starts singing. The first time I heard the song years ago I was inspired to spin! LOL
In the pilot episode, Steve recognized Diana as Wonder Woman when she was dressed in the nurses uniform. Yet, can't recognize her as Wonder Woman when she's dressed in anything else. LOL
I can't spin that fast. I do it, I get very dizzy LOL Lynda does it and comes out of it so flawlessly and is STILL able to run off to save the day!! I'm sorry but NOBODY could ever be Wonder Woman but her!!!
Anyone else notice her hair gets darker when she changes into Wonder Woman? I wonder how they made her tight bun come down so naturally letting her hair flow without any cuts (before the actual burst and transformation).
Lynda could really get some speed in those spins when she wanted to. But Debra Winger trying to "spin" into Wonder Girl is one of the saddest things I've ever seen.
@MrDianaprince It's amazing, throughout all 3 seasons they kept changing the spin music. Seems usually somewhere around mid-season they'd decide to make changes to hair, music, opening sequence, etc. Weird. Even the famed ball of light didn't show up until a few episodes into season 1. Course, that was because of censors.
Season 1, including the pilot movie, was fabulous. Loved the WWI setting, and the costume was an extraordinary adaptation of artist Harry Peters' illustrations of the early '40s comic. Costume designer Donfeld nailed it. Everything worked -- the carefully curled hair, the shorts, the platinum belt (it was white, not gold, in the comic) contrasting against the meticulous, metallic gold thread embroidery of the eagle. I swoon everytime I see Ms. Carter in those first 'golden age' episodes.
@tuskedbeast AGREED! Thats what I noticed during the whole 6 minutes of this video was the different inflections of the music, it made these scenes even sexier.
All she had to do was flick her hair-band loose during the first few moments of the spin, always the same every time... no hair band loss, no wonder-woman, simple as that.
6:08 is the episode when they are in Hollywood. It's a great episode, and the last one where we see Wonder Girl. I also believe it' sthe last one of the first season.
I agree; this is the best one, with 4:25 and 5:53 being close second. Also, the music for all three is exactly the same.
I finally see why the women in Beauty in Parade didn't like Diana Prince (Paradise)...Think of the music when the spin started and put these words in: I can do the spin but you B*tches can't NAH NAH LOL!
They went from the slow spin transformation, to the faster one with the flash, because of the cost of visual optical effects. How I know this? The pilot episode on DVD comes with commentary by Lynda Carter and the producer.
The spins in the second half of season 1 when they added the exploding light are the best. They looked more colorful (red, gold and blue), shiny and real than in seasons 2 and 3 on CBS. Maybe they were cutting costs on special effects?
I don't know which season but my favorite spin is when she's in a narrow alley with a brick wall and can't put her arms out, so she spins with her arms folded up at the elbow.
Definitely like the flash-of-light spins, also the spins become more I don't know, focused and intense. Her first few spins she actually has the clothes come off, which she is very neat about putting in a closet or her locker :-) Plus, she does a little once-over: belt? Check. headband? Check. Later on, the clothes just disappear and she doesn't bother to check the belt or headband...she runs off to kick some ass!
I think it's the way she locks her head in one place for a few seconds, then whips it around back into that same place. And her hair falling down too. That's what makes the first seasons spins better than the rest to me.
@StrongEnough78 - Well that's a spinning technique. It's called "spotting". Dancers use it to do multiple turns and not get dizzy. What you do is that you focus your eyes on an object (the "spot"). When you start your spin, your body turns but your eyes are still focused on that spot. Then your head whips around and comes back to that spot before your body completes the spin.
Dancers like to say that the head is the "last to leave and the first to arrive".
Looks like the spinning makes her nauseous and dizzy, she's always grabbing her stomach and her head afterwards. The earlier version made more sense. She's not transforming, she's changing costume faster than the eye can follow.
Early season 1's transform was kinda cool. Very graceful and the backing music is cool as well. But to line up the camera, lock it, then start again - especially for the double-exposure was too costly, hence the mixing of the explosion effect later on. Cool effect, either way... season 2's transform music was the best, but season 1's gimmicks gelled well together as well. A shame ABC didn't make a full season in the 1940s motif. CBS's second season was good, but season 1 is better.
The music (and the way they varied it for different episodes) simply ROCKS! Whoever composed that theme get kudos for helping to make he spin an indelible moment.
Ah...the wonder spin. Still magical after all these years. I wonder if Debra Winger's spin is clumsy "on purpose". Y'know, because it's her first time doing it and she's just a kid?
@Largo3point0 - Absolutely correct... Debra Winger's spin was purposely clumsy for that reason. And for another one: They couldn't have her overshadow her big sister, Wonder Woman!
@Largo3point0 - Yes and no. Doing multiple spins without getting dizzy is a learned technique and it takes a LOT of practice. I've been dancing Salsa for almost five years, and just doing a double turn is difficult for me (and I was taught it within my first six months of instruction). I know female dancers who can do 60-80 in heels.
So I say "yes" because Debra Winger's character is a novice at spinning, and I would also say no because Debra Winger was likely a novice at spinning in reality.
Whoa! I'm getting dizzy!!! thanks for posting Lynda Carter will always be the ultimate wonder woman, it's just my opinion but I don't think anyone will ever be able to fill those boots the way she did.
I like the fireball spin the best. It's just so exciting and iconic. However, I never noticed before that her braclets are missing in a couple of the spins. Surprising the makers of the show or even Lynda herself let that slip by.
It's the same thing No Bracelets after spin 1:26 and 2:00. It's funny cause I'm pretty sure it's all the same spin, shot at three different angles for three different episodes, if all of it came from the DVD..I love it, attention to detail!
Thank you for this video! I was/ and still am a big fan, LOL!! In the 0:30 slow spin, she has NO BRACLETS ON when she is done turning into Wonder Woman!!
Definitely love the flash of light more than the slow motion change. Debra Winger can't spin for shit though- have the first two season on DVD. Absolutely love the show and I LOVE WONDER WOMAN! Thanks for posting this and the others.
The spins in the later part of season 1 and the early part of season 2 were the best. I like the music and sound effects that were used. They were more dramatic.
The spin at 6.08 is the most aggressive and coordinated. She's definitely in a mood. However I really like the early slow-motion spins - almost like one persona separating from another. Great stuff!
when I was a kid I liked the spins in the later seasons but as an adult I prefer the first season, there just seems to be something magical in these first season spins........I can't believe I just said that...I must be really bored today...hehe
I just have to get my fix every few months of this incredibly beautiful woman. I think as a kid I preferred the flashy stuff too, as an adult, I so appreciate the slow transitionary spins because you can see the change...they are sooo sensual...I mean magical. lol
I preferred the first-season spins as a kid and still prefer them as an adult. The music was better and varied, yet with the consistent "spin melody" (for lack of a better way of describing it) clearly audible in each spin. Also, Diana's hair almost ALWAYS came down in the first-season spins. Didn't always happen in the second season, and never happened in the third season, I don't believe. Third-season spins were the worst musically...totally the same over and over, very unimaginative.
@Mikeyboy609 [: For a long time.. I wanted to know the attraction of the 1st season spins.. THEN.. It hit me. It is that music, authentic to each and every spin.. That was so catchy. The 2nd and 3rd seasons music behind the spins was rather drab.. Cept for the 'Revert' spin (1st spin back as Wonder Woman in season 2).. It was along the same, catchy, bouncy, in sync with the spin music of the 1st season!
I like the light and thunder much better. Far more superheroine-like. Much more exciting. 3:26 with the spin sound is even more cool. At 2:33 where her mother is teaching her to spin, that's Caroline Jones (Morticia Adams) from the MUNSTERS
what was so great during the first two season was when she would change into WW her hair would fall down, but later in the episodes she wore a pony tail and it wasn't really cool enough, I wonder why they stopped that?
I used to wonder about those. Now I think they were trying to go for the figure skater look. Like that chick Dorothy Hamill, who was popular around the same time.
lynda carter was so pretty back then....and you can tell from the first season to the last how she was aging she looked so fresh and young in the first season.
Agree with you DanIN72, the first spins using vision mixing is more expensive than the ball of light. I watched it in the Wonder Woman DVD, producer's interview.
yep, only happened in the first season before the ball of light spins...it's always funny how she checks to make sure the belt and tiara are there but doesn't notice her bracelets are missing LOL
OH I just found a SECOND incident of this in the Fausta, The Nazi Wonder Woman episode as well...I wonder if they just used the same footage and changed the music...
I watched them all and THIS SPIN is by far the BEST of all of them. It DOES have something to do with the camera angle and her spin is perfect with the arm whips. magic!
Thank you for uploading this!! It's great to see the evolution of the transformation and the changes in music etc. the twirling music gives it a nice additional thrill. I like the original spins the best, they are classic and the sexist. The flash is cool but a destraction to her royal beauty.
It's kind of funny to see how wonder girl all but falls over after her spin. Must have been difficult to spin so fast.
here's even more trivia for ya :) the producers went back and forth on how to make diana change into WW (if you've read the comic books you know the lasso has a lot to do with it, which I think the WW feature film is going to do)...a producer was talking with Lynda and she mentioned her ballet training and the producer asked "are you good at the pirouettes?" and he said "let's see one" and thus the spins were born! Had Lynda not had ballet training who knows what they would have done LOL
That's very interesting, I also read that her lasso was based on research into what we now know as the lie detector. Amazing how all of these small details helped strengthen this amazon princess into a major icon with social impact.
Yep, WW's creator, William Moulton Marston, helped create the lie detector at Harvard University, that's why he gave her the lasso of truth, WW's 'lie detector' neat huh :)
I wonder when they will make a movie version & who should play her? No one will top Lynda Carter IMO. Angelina Jolie would have made a good one...but I'm thinking she may be too old now for the part...Wonder Woman character should be in her late 20's to early 30's I think. Perhaps a complete newcomer would be nice...but lord PLEASE don't make her a blonde!
That was well done,love how Wonder Woman's spins became more and more dramatic.Glad Wonder Girl disappeared after season1,how stupid is Steve Trevor mean to be?
Diana Prince's sister appears and so does Wonder Girl d'oh!
@6:00 was the best... i remember that particular episode.she really did the spin on that one.....thanks so much for posting.matter of fact,6:00-the end was was hot as well
Who, here, hated the arms up part of her transformation?! I loved her arms horizontal but when she brought them above her head, that turned me off and it seemed awkward for Lynda as well?! What do you think?!
I SO Love Ms. Lynda Carter! Wish I could have been one of the bad guys that she would catch in her lassle so I could gaze into her Beautiful eyes....

@Largo3point0 - Yes and no. Doing multiple spins without getting dizzy is a learned technique and it takes a LOT of practice. I've been dancing Salsa for almost five years, and just doing a double turn is difficult for me (and I was taught it within my first six months of instruction). I know female dancers who can do 60-80 in heels.
So I say "yes" because Debra Winger's character is a novice at spinning, and I would also say no because Debra Winger was likely a novice at spinning in reality.

I've always wondered about that. Here is what I came up with:
Belt - Since the belt is the source of all her powers off Paradise Island, she wants to make sure it's securely fastened after spinning around.
Tiara - Since her Tiara is only held on by hair, she wants to make sure it won't come off when she starts to run.
Those are the reasons I came up with and I'm sticking with them. :)

Also, Diana's hair almost ALWAYS came down in the first-season spins. Didn't always happen in the second season, and never happened in the third season, I don't believe. Third-season spins were the worst musically...totally the same over and over, very unimaginative.

@Mikeyboy609 - just a magnetic performance from Lynda Carter

@Mikeyboy609 [: For a long time.. I wanted to know the attraction of the 1st season spins.. THEN.. It hit me. It is that music, authentic to each and every spin.. That was so catchy. The 2nd and 3rd seasons music behind the spins was rather drab.. Cept for the 'Revert' spin (1st spin back as Wonder Woman in season 2).. It was along the same, catchy, bouncy, in sync with the spin music of the 1st season!

@Mikeyboy609 I feel the same sentiments exactly. The slow-mo ones just feels more elegant.

I like the light and thunder much better. Far more superheroine-like. Much more exciting. 3:26 with the spin sound is even more cool. At 2:33 where her mother is teaching her to spin, that's Caroline Jones (Morticia Adams) from the MUNSTERS

That would be the Addams Family, hence the name Addams. Sorry, but Lily Munster was on the Musters and played by Yvonne DeCarlo.

The spins at 0:29 and 1:25 are the same film. The show producers just used different versions of the "Spin" music for each.

what was so great during the first two season was when she would change into WW her hair would fall down, but later in the episodes she wore a pony tail and it wasn't really cool enough, I wonder why they stopped that?

The arm up spins are so awkward for her!

I used to wonder about those. Now I think they were trying to go for the figure skater look. Like that chick Dorothy Hamill, who was popular around the same time.

The Balls of Light spins are so much better than the first ones. The first spins looked kinda clunky to me.

lynda carter was so pretty back then....and you can tell from the first season to the last how she was aging she looked so fresh and young in the first season.
larell28 2 years ago
Apparently the first spins were done with a process called vision mixing which takes ages to do in post production.(or at least it did then)
dalekgun 2 years ago
i had read somewhere ages ago that the first spins were a lot more expensive than the ball of light ones so that would explain why :)
DanIN72 2 years ago
Agree with you DanIN72, the first spins using vision mixing is more expensive than the ball of light. I watched it in the Wonder Woman DVD, producer's interview.

I've always loved this show has anyone noticed the gaping continuity error when she spins in the office,NO BRACELETS.
dalekgun 2 years ago
yep, only happened in the first season before the ball of light spins...it's always funny how she checks to make sure the belt and tiara are there but doesn't notice her bracelets are missing LOL
DanIN72 2 years ago
I never noticed that until now but YEAH ... LOLZ @ Wonder Woman .... maybe she should have kept her glasses on...
darkangeldj2006 2 years ago
OH I just found a SECOND incident of this in the Fausta, The Nazi Wonder Woman episode as well...I wonder if they just used the same footage and changed the music...
darkangeldj2006 2 years ago
You may be onto something! I will have to rewatch these and see!
DanIN72 2 years ago
nope they are different. notice how she does different things before and after each spin :)
DanIN72 2 years ago
hehehehe she must have found them somewhere after leaving the office cuz you'll notice she always has them on in the next scene LOL

I would love to do a MST3K version of some of the episodes ... such as "Wonder Woman Vs. Gargantua"... I would have a great time.

This is fantastic i'm a brand new user, this is the very first thing i've watched.we didn't get this series in the u.k
so it's interesting to see this.

mw1126 2 years ago
very nice angle for sure!
gplus46 2 years ago
I watched them all and THIS SPIN is by far the BEST of all of them. It DOES have something to do with the camera angle and her spin is perfect with the arm whips. magic!

Thank you for uploading this!! It's great to see the evolution of the transformation and the changes in music etc. the twirling music gives it a nice additional thrill. I like the original spins the best, they are classic and the sexist. The flash is cool but a destraction to her royal beauty.
It's kind of funny to see how wonder girl all but falls over after her spin. Must have been difficult to spin so fast.

Lynda Carter was a trained ballet dancer.....Debra Winger was not lol
DanIN72 2 years ago
thanks! That explains it,... even on uneven ground Carter nails it. I wonder if there were bloopers on D. Winger's spin or even L.Carter's spin.
gplus46 2 years ago
here's even more trivia for ya :) the producers went back and forth on how to make diana change into WW (if you've read the comic books you know the lasso has a lot to do with it, which I think the WW feature film is going to do)...a producer was talking with Lynda and she mentioned her ballet training and the producer asked "are you good at the pirouettes?" and he said "let's see one" and thus the spins were born! Had Lynda not had ballet training who knows what they would have done LOL
DanIN72 2 years ago
That's very interesting, I also read that her lasso was based on research into what we now know as the lie detector. Amazing how all of these small details helped strengthen this amazon princess into a major icon with social impact.
gplus46 2 years ago
Yep, WW's creator, William Moulton Marston, helped create the lie detector at Harvard University, that's why he gave her the lasso of truth, WW's 'lie detector' neat huh :)

I wonder when they will make a movie version & who should play her? No one will top Lynda Carter IMO. Angelina Jolie would have made a good one...but I'm thinking she may be too old now for the part...Wonder Woman character should be in her late 20's to early 30's I think. Perhaps a complete newcomer would be nice...but lord PLEASE don't make her a blonde!

Who, here, hated the arms up part of her transformation?! I loved her arms horizontal but when she brought them above her head, that turned me off and it seemed awkward for Lynda as well?! What do you think?!

Some women stripping all the clothes havent one-tenth of the sensuality of Wonder Woman spinning with a nurse uniform.
