Wagner: 'Heartless 2007 'Bionic Woman' Was Doomed From The Start'
17 June 2010
TV's original "BIONIC WOMAN", LINDSAY WAGNER, insists the 2007 remake was a flop because it lacked heart.
The 61-year-old actress, who played superheroine Jaime Sommers from 1976 to 1978, claims the revamp, starring British actress Michelle Ryan, was destined to fail because the 21st-century Sommers was too robotic.
Wagner, who is now a leading meditation expert, tells TV Guide magazine, "They (writers) didn't recreate what I think people loved about 'The Bionic Woman'.
"We worked very hard on our show to present human elements and conflicted villains within the constraints of our Cold War formula."
