Cool interview with Lindsey Wagner

Lindsay Wagner's character was so popular from SMDM that it was inevitable they would build a show around her. Luckily for LW, her contract with the network had expired by then, and she was able to negotiate a new and much more lucrative contract.

It's on Amazon Prime right now and I'm bingeing it from the first episode. Apparently after she flatlined in the OR, Steve left to grieve but the OR team defibrillated her and her heart started back up again. We learned a bit more of her past, and it was interesting. Jaime was a pro tennis player and the previous year had beaten Billie Jean King at the US Open!! That kind of made me roll my eyes, because BJK was still an active player, and her beating BJK would have been a big deal which considering her striking looks would undoubtedly given her tons of publicity. So that makes it strange to think Oscar and the OSI would make her a spy and keep her real name. I'd think it would be kind of hard for her to go undercover without her targets recognizing her and say "Aren't you that professional tennis player who beat BJK last year at the US Open?" Oh well, we have to utilize some suspension of disbelief with the whole idea of the show anyway...
