They Gave Her A Wetsuit Instead
They had a lot of wardrobe mishaps with the bikini on the set of the show. This isn’t the kind of thing that belongs on network TV. Feld eventually replaced her undergarments with a tight blue wetsuit. On the plus side, compared to a two-piece, this gear is better adapted to fighting crime.

Her Double Had To Wear It Too
For the show, Lynda Carter had her own body double. A stuntwoman named Jeannie Epper was cast in this role. Prior to the presentation, however, things did not go as planned for her. Did you know she was fired from The Bionic Woman because her breast size was incorrect? When she auditioned for the role of Wonder Woman, she had to wear a swimsuit. In 2015, she told NPR, “I think why it worked so well is I could move exactly like Lynda moved, and it was unlike [how] I moved. I moved more like Lindsay Wagner – more of the jock, athletic kind of running. And I just learned to become Lynda. It’s like an actor can adapt to character.” She went on, “You actually have to become an actress. And you have to be able to know how to not look at the camera and yet not look like you’re not looking at the camera, you know.” It must have helped that she and Carter were friends: “Lynda and I bonded fairly soon. I’m a watcher at first, and I want to know how actresses are going to feel about me.”
