bullet::::- in 1976, a version of wonder girl appeared in the "wonder woman" television series and was played by debra winger, in one of her first mass-media roles. the actress charlene tilton, best known for playing lucy ewing in the television series "dallas", auditioned for the part of wonder girl but lost it to winger. the pilot episode revealed that wonder woman's alter-ego, princess diana of paradise island, was queen hippolyta's daughter, but later episodes featured diana's younger sibling, drusilla. drusilla first appeared in the two-part episode "the feminum mystique". in that episode, queen hippolyta (carolyn jones) sends drusilla to america in order to bring diana home to paradise island. (queen hippolyta is never referred to by name in any of the televised specials in which she appeared.) drusilla gets tangled up in a nazi plot to discover the secret of wonder woman's bracelets, which can deflect bullets, and in the process drusilla masters the spinning transformation used by her older sister. although drusilla creates the persona of wonder girl, the distinction is lost on the nazis, who believe her to be wonder woman and abduct her. in the second part of this episode, drusilla returns to paradise island to help free her fellow amazons from a nazi overtaking. drusilla appeared again in another episode, the final episode of the first season, entitled "wonder woman in hollywood". on september 3, 1993, winger appeared on the "late show with david letterman" to promote her film "wilder napalm". there, winger revealed she was contracted a position as a regular on the show and even the lead in a wonder girl spinoff tv show. she wanted off the show and had her agent get her out of her contract. letterman then showed the audience a short clip of winger as wonder girl and asked several questions about the show and co-star lynda carter. winger briefly feigned embarrassment, but then claimed she was late for something she had to do, then surprisingly tore off her dress to reveal a wonder girl costume underneath. winger ran through the audience to exit the theater, while the "wonder woman" theme song's bass line played.. in the comics, drusilla was a regular amazon who appeared in wonder woman #182, 1969 who was an ally to wonder woman. a figure resembling winger's drusilla made a cameo appearance in "infinite crisis" #6, as the wonder girl of earth-462. cassandra sandsmark would later adapt the alias of drusilla to protect her identity.

on the live-action wonder woman television series, the two-part episode "the feminum mystique" establishes that the bracelets are produced from "feminum," a metal found only on paradise island. when nazi agents learn the truth from wonder woman's sister drusilla, they invade paradise island and force the amazons to mine the feminum until the amazons turn the tables on their captors. removal of the bracelets leaves wonder woman vulnerable to attack but does not render her powerless or insane.
