Winger was born in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, into an Orthodox Jewish

family, to Robert Winger, a meat packer, and Ruth (née Felder), an

office manager. Over the years, she told many interviewers that she

volunteered on an Israeli kibbutz, sometimes even saying she had

trained with the Israel Defense Forces, but in a 2008 interview she

said she was merely on a typical youth tour that visited the kibbutz.

At the age of 18, after returning to the United States, she was

involved in a car accident and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage; as a

result, she was left partially paralyzed and blind for 10 months,

having initially been told that she would never see again. With time

on her hands to think about her life, she decided that, if she

recovered, she would move to California and become an actress.Winger's

first acting role was as "Debbie" in the 1976 sexploitation film

Slumber Party '57. Her next role was as Diana Prince's younger sister

Drusilla (Wonder Girl) in three episodes of ABC's TV series, Wonder

Woman. The producers had wanted her to appear more often, but she

refused, fearing that the role would hurt her fledgling career. This

was followed by a guest role in Season 4 of the TV drama Police Woman

in 1978.
