’70s Leiters Norman Burton and David Hedison came thisclose to meeting on screen in an episode from the second season of Wonder Woman, “The Queen and the Thief.”

Burton played series semi-regular (he was only around for eight episodes) Joe Atkinson, boss to agents Diana Prince and Steve Trevor Jr. in IADC (Inter-Agency Defense Command), a government agency headquartered in Washington, D.C. In this episode they are assigned to capture the suave and sophisticated international thief Evan Robley (Hedison) who is in Palm Beach to steal the crown jewels of Malakar, which were brought there by the Queen as goodwill collateral for a loan from the United States.

Since Burton doesn’t accompany his agents to Palm Beach, he and fellow Leiter Hedison never meet.
