The Bionic Woman

The Bionic Woman is an American television series which spin off from The Six Million Dollar Man. It starred Lindsay Wagner as Jaime Sommers, a tennis professional who was nearly killed in a skydiving accident, and was rebuilt by Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson) and Dr. Rudy Wells (Martin E. Brooks), who had also rebuilt The Six Million Dollar Man.

As the result of her surgical implantation, Jaime Sommers had amplified hearing, a greatly strengthened right arm, and enhanced legs, enabling her to run faster than a speeding car.



The whole concept of the Bionic woman is very similar to that of the six million dollar man. I think that the whole concept of a human who has encountered an accident and is then rebuild (mostly against their own will), is a very well worn one. My concept for my animation will have to be a very unique, and really take the idea of the cyborg and spin it on its head.
