ElectraWow and DynaMite: Can you believe Judy Strangis owns her DynaGirl costume?

It was a reunion of the two gals from classic Saturday-morning TV's "ElectraWoman and DynaGirl" over the weekend, and our buddy Brian was there -- and he even filed a report with BRBTV.


At an autograph show in New Jersey over the weekend, Brian, shown above in his Gilligan cosplay, got a chance to chat with Deidre Hall, left, and Judy Strangis, the stars of the iconic superhero series. They're looking great, he reported, first of all, but he also asked them about their amazing so-'70s costumes from the show, all awash in eye-catching oranges and yellows. What happened to the costumes? What were they like? How many costumes did each gal get for the filming? 


BRBTV was guessing it was "one" for the latter question, given the short time frame that the series aired, along with the minimalist's budgets that shows produced by the Kroffts were known for (admittedly, by brothers Sid and Marty). Well, yeah, Judy said, she just had one DynaGirl costume for the filming -- and she owns it now! So fun!

Judy didn't always own the outfit, though, she told Brian. A friend gifted her with it recently. She has the costume framed at her home (which Lynda Carter, by the way, has  done with her own screen-used Wonder Woman costume, though she had more than one for filming; Heroes and Icons recently reported that she actually owns two of the costumes). 

Of Judy, "Her husband/handler told me he has yet to see her wear it," Brian said. (Perhaps that was a bit of a joke on the hub's part, but it's adorable.) Deidre Hall, who went on after the show to much fame on daytime soaps, does not have her own ElectraWoman costume, however, she said.
