Kenneth Johnson (filmmaker)
His early TV work includes "The Six Million Dollar Man", "The Bionic Woman" and "The Incredible Hulk". Johnson created the character of Jaime Sommers and "The Bionic Woman", an American television series starring Lindsay Wagner that aired for three seasons between 1976 and 1978 as a spin-off from "The Six Million Dollar Man".
The Bionic Woman
Wagner stars as professional tennis player Jaime Sommers, who becomes critically injured during a skydiving accident. Jaime's life is saved by Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson) and Dr. Rudy Wells (Alan Oppenheimer) with bionic surgical implants similar to those of "The Six Million Dollar Man" Steve Austin (Lee Majors). Through the use of cybernetic implants, known as bionics, Jaime is gifted with an amplified bionic ear which allows her to hear at low volumes and at different frequencies from most humans and over uncommonly long distances. She also has extraordinary strength in her bionic right arm and in both legs that enables her to run at speeds exceeding 60 miles per hour. She is then assigned to spy missions of her own as an occasional agent of the Office of Scientific Information, while under the employment cover as a school teacher of middle school students.
