Debra Winger BIOGRAPHY
Graduated from Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior High School, Northridge, California, in 1970. Graduated from James Monroe High School, Sepulveda, California, in 1973. Measurements: 34B-23-34. At first, she was excited about winning the role of Wonder Girl on the TV series Wonder Woman (1976) but quickly became disillusioned and spent all her salary from the show to hire an attorney to get her out of her contract. Didn't like working with Lynda Carter on "Wonder Woman," but Lynda said that they didn't have any problems and was like a big sister to her. She was given the choice of the two roles in Black Widow (1987); she chose the role of the FBI agent, because she didn't understand the motivation as to why the Black Widow kills, so the title role went to Theresa Russell. She became notorious for turning down worthy roles in quality films, such as Kathleen Turner's role in Peggy Sue Got Married (1986), Susan Sarandon's role in Bull Durham (1988), Michelle Pfeiffer's role in The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), Jessica Lange's role in The Music Box(1989), and Geena Davis' role in A League of their Own (1992).
