Lindsay Wagner(I)
- Actress
- Producer
- Additional Crew
Lindsay Wagner makes little distinction between her life as an actress,
advocate, mother or author. What unites these various parts is a
commitment through her work and her personal life to exploring and
advancing human potential.
Lindsay first came to prominence in the critically-acclaimed role of
Susan Fields in
The Paper Chase (1973), but
received household recognition worldwide when she broke the mold for
women on television with her iconic portrayal of Jaime Sommers. As she
collaborated with the writers,
The Bionic Woman (1976)
became an inspiration around the world and, in 1977, Lindsay won the
Emmy for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series".
Her now-strong influence in the media and a desire to use that as a way
to communicate ideas to help people in their personal journey is
demonstrated in so many of the films in which she starred, such as:
The Incredible Journey of Doctor Meg Laurel (1979),
the struggle between naturopathic and allopathic healthcare (1979);
I Want to Live (1983),
the moral dilemma regarding capital punishment (1983);
Child's Cry (1986), child
sexual abuse (1986);
The Taking of Flight 847: The Uli Derickson Story (1988),
some root complexities of terrorism (1988);
Evil in Clear River (1988),
the quiet rise of the Neo-Nazi movement in America (1988);
Shattered Dreams (1990),
on family violence, which she also co-produced (1991);
Fighting for My Daughter (1995),
highlighting the problem of teen prostitution (1995);
Thicker Than Water (2005),
expressing compassion for the animal kingdom and the importance of
family (2005);
Four Extraordinary Women (2006),
the emotional effect of breast cancer on family members (2006). As a
result of the volume of her successful productions, she was often
referred to as the "Queen of TV Movies".
Lindsay has long been acknowledged as one of the top leading
spokespersons in the United States, a role she took very seriously with
regard to the impact it would have on the public, which in turn
reinforced her position as a respected voice in the community. She was
given a Genii Award as "Performer of the Year" in 1985. Lindsay has
co-authored a bestselling vegetarian cookbook, "The High Road to
Health" (1990) and "Lindsay Wagner's New Beauty: The Acupressure
Facelift" (1986). She has recently released a meditation CD, "Open to
Oneness".
Off-screen, Lindsay is passionate about the study and sharing of
holistic healing modalities, integrating mind, body and spirit. For 25
years, she has been the Honorary Chair of ICAN (Inter-Agency Council on
Child Abuse and Neglect). She has also been heavily involved in human
rights, domestic violence, animal welfare and the environment. From
2003-2006, in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's
Department, Lindsay co-facilitated a counseling group for convicted
batterers and their families. Her work utilized a range of
psychological and spiritual techniques.
For the public, Lindsay facilitates experiential "Quiet the Mind & Open
the Heart" workshops and retreats. These programs are designed to help
overcome our own personal challenges, while accessing the peace and joy
that is naturally within us. Lindsay offers these programs to the
public as well as special interest groups as a way of sharing, that
which has greatly impacted her life.
