The Rise of Debra Winger
Still radiant at 67, Winger has showcased her timeless beauty on Instagram, transitioning from brunette to a graceful gray. The talented actress made her screen debut in 1976 as Drusilla, the sibling of Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman. Despite opportunities to feature more prominently in the “Wonder Woman” series, Winger declined to avoid typecasting.
Her decision paid off. The 1980s witnessed Winger’s meteoric rise with noteworthy roles in “Urban Cowboy” alongside John Travolta and “Terms of Endearment” with Shirley MacLaine. Her performances earned her multiple accolades and nominations, solidifying her place in Hollywood’s elite.
