I did it for 10 years and I'm very proud to represent her.
I'm thrilled to be the original voice of Wonder Woman and just loved every second of it. That's what Wonder Woman stood for and was created to accomplish. For some reason, though, when the show came back in the fall of 1984 in the form of Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, the role was voiced by Constance Caufield, who, in turn, only has a few credits to her name.Īt a convention appearance, Shannon reflected, "As a woman, I always want to stand up for truth and justice, communication, and world peace. Voicing her from '73 to '84 was Shannon Farnon, who did a lot of voice work for animation producers Hanna-Barbera. The show, which took a number of different forms, ran from 1973 to 1986, and among the characters featured, of course, was Wonder Woman. One of the biggest Saturday morning cartoon successes in the 1970s and 1980s was Super Friends, a junior version of DC Comics' Justice League. How do the other actresses who have played Wonder Woman feel about her? Find out in our guide to every one of them that follows. These are qualities that all of us have.” But she cares, and she’s warm, and she’s loving. Yes, she’s the greatest warrior of all time, but she’s vulnerable, she’s sincere, and she can lose her confidence from time to time and she hurts. Also, we bring something that is easy to relate to. And I think that one of the special things that Diana has, one of the most beautiful qualities, is the fact that she just cares for people in the most sincere way. For me, it was really important that she would be the glue of the team, that we would track the same character that we victoriously established in the Wonder Woman movie. She doesn’t care for the fame or for the glory or for the credit.
Why the connection? Gal explains in an official interview at the time of last year’s Justice League, “Diana does good because that’s the only thing she cares about. In fact, she’s one of 30 who have starred in various live action and animated versions that have been produced since 1967. But Gal is only the latest actress to bring Wonder Woman to life.
In fact, for quite a while it seemed like the company’s approach was “All Batman, all the time.” Well step aside, gentlemen: Thanks to Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman (AKA Diana Prince) has not only very much eclipsed her fellow heroes in the audience’s mind, but the success of last year’s film of the same name has opened the floodgates for other female superheroes to join her in saving the world. For some time, whenever people thought of movies based on DC Comics, Superman is the guy who would immediately come to mind, though eventually he was replaced by Batman.
