Reply #42: I don't remember Lynda Carter being muscular?

[NewJeffCT]

she was tall - 5'9" IRL - and busty, certainly.

But, Jennifer Connelly is certainly tall enough, but is slimmer than she was 8-10 years ago. Kate Beckinsale is also pretty tall, as is Angelina Jolie. Both Beckinsale & Jolie have done good jobs in action movie roles as well.

Eliza Dushku is only 5'5", so may be a little short, but if they can make 6'1" John Rhys-Davies into Gimli the Dwarf, they can certainly make her appear taller on screen.
