The "Bionic Woman" is back, and Lindsay Wagner is excited to resume acting 40 years later.
"I'm kind of being guided to come back," the actress told People magazine of her Hollywood comeback.
Wagner shot to fame four decades ago, when she took on the role of Jaime Sommers in the iconic action drama series, "The Bionic Woman."
She remained on the show for three seasons, from 1976 to 1978, and earned an Emmy Award in 1977 as well as two best actress Golden Globe nominations in 1977 and 1978.
Wagner continued to pursue an acting career once "Bionic Woman" ended, but later diversified into the world of public speaking.
The show, however, remained firmly imprinted on the memory of those who tuned in regularly to watch it, and fans never forgot about the lead star.
"Anybody over the age of 34 still tells me how I was such a big part of their childhood," Wagner said in an interview with People magazine.
She also told The Express that people still remembered the show because it had "something to do with the way TV shows can really connect with an audience."
She recalled how "many women come up to me and say, 'Jaime was so important because this was the first time we'd seen a really strong woman on TV.' "
She may have disappeared from the limelight for a while, but Wagner said she was back and determined to continue where she left off with her acting.
"The heart wants what the heart wants, as they say," she told People.
The actress has already starred in the movie "Samson," which is scheduled to be released to DVD and digital later this month.
Wagner will also appear in an upcoming edition of ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," playing the role of Alex's estranger mother, TVLine noted.
