It's been 50 years since The Bionic Woman hit TV screens, but the show's beloved star, Lindsay Wagner, has barely changed.
The stunning actress, 76, took to Instagram on Wednesday to honor the 50th anniversary of the iconic series, which first headed to television as its own series on January 14, 1976. A spin-off of the popular science fiction TV series The Six Million Dollar Man, which starred Lee Majors, The Bionic Woman followed Wagner as Jaime Summers, a woman who suffers a tragic skydiving accident and is put back together with bionic limbs that now give her powers to tackle a double life doing secret government missions.
In a new video posted to her Instagram page, Wagner appears to have barely changed in the 50 years since the show premiered. Still sporting her iconic blonde hair, the stunner looks happy and healthy as she spoke about the influence of the show on modern culture.
"Today is the day — Happy 50th Anniversary to The Bionic Woman!" Wagner captioned the video. "Here is a heartfelt message from Lindsay (and a surprise guest!) to celebrate the moment."

"Without your support for all these years, we wouldn't be here," Wagner noted.
In previous interviews, Wagner has spoken about the importance of how relatable her legendary character was and the influence that it had on the viewers.
“I think the attempt that we made to make her so real and so human and so relatable — and the sensitivity of the character was relatable to kids in general because they haven’t become hardened yet, and boys, especially perhaps, hadn’t become the ‘hardened self’ that’s ‘expected’ in a male in our society, in that generation,” she told AMC, Parade previously reported.
“I think people forget that this new balance of masculine and feminine in our society — women being allowed to be strong and men being allowed to be sensitive and still strong — is a very new thing." She continued by noting that “people 30 and younger don’t get that it was literally just decades ago when that wasn’t so.”
Her-Post Bionic Woman Career
After the series concluded in 1978, Wagner went on to several other roles, tackling several miniseries and TV movies. But she earned significant acclaim in recent years as Dr. Alex Karev's mother on the long-running ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy. Her role introduced her to an entirely new population of TV viewers who were likely unfamiliar with her past life as a pop culture icon.
