Brenda Starr is a 1976 American television movie based on Dale Messick's comic strip Brenda Starr, Reporter, starring Jill St. John in the title role. It was directed by Mel Stuart, and it aired on ABC on May 8, 1976.
Jill St John told her press agent that she had a dream to play Brenda Starr. The agent optioned the rights and had a script written. The movie was shot as a pilot for a series but fell flat as a stand-alone project.[1]
