Biography
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, but received household
recognition worldwide when she broke the glass ceiling for women
on television with her iconic portrayal of Jaime
Sommers. As she collaborated with the writers “The
Bionic Woman” 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, over 60, films in which
she starred, such as: "The Incredible Journey of Doctor
Meg Laurel", the struggle between naturopathic and allopathic
healthcare (1979); "I Want To Live", the moral dilemma
regarding capital punishment (1983); "Child's Cry", child
sexual abuse (1986); "The Taking of
Flight 847", some root complexities of terrorism (1988); "Shattered Dreams"

As a result of the volume of her successful productions she is
often referred to as the “Queen of T.V. Movies”. Additionally Lindsay
has 5 mini-series and 12 feature films to her name. She was given a
Genii award as “Performer of the Year” in 1985.
Off screen Lindsay has always been passionate about the study
and sharing of holistic health, the healing of body, mind and spirit.
From 2003-2006, in collaboration with the L.A. County
Sheriff’s Department, Lindsay co-facilitated with Dr James Beard, a
support group for families reuniting who were struggling with
domestic violence.
For the public she has facilitated retreats and workshops
which developed out of her personal journey and years of studying
both western and eastern modalities, sharing the concepts and
techniques that have impacted her life the most.
More recently Lindsay has performed recurring roles
in Warehouse 13 and Grey’s Anatomy and has
also enjoyed teaching acting and camera technique, as
well as touring theaters with her fun show “More than a Bionic
