Shannon Farnon

Shannon Farnon is a Canadian-born American actress who became the first actress to voice Wonder Woman for Hanna-Barbera. Born in Toronto and raised in Detroit, Chicago, and San Fernando, California, she began acting with an uncredited role on Burke's Law in 1965. She went on to appear in many television series, including I Dream of Jeannie in 1967 and Dragnet in 1970, while also working frequently in commercials. In 1973, a Flintstones Chewable Vitamins commercial led voice director Wally Burr to ask her to audition for Wonder Woman. From 1973 to 1983, she voiced the character across several Super Friends series. She also voiced Lois Lane and Hawkgirl on some of those shows and played Kim Butler in Valley of the Dinosaurs in 1974. She later voiced Wonder Woman in Cartoon Network promos and continued to take film and television roles, though her acting appearances became infrequent after 2005.
