Sometime in 1975, Angela Bowie, former wife of David Bowie, acquired the TV rights to Black Widow and Daredevil. The images you see here are publicity photos with Angela Bowie as Black Widow and Ben Carruthers as Daredevil. Nothing was ever filmed but Bowie herself shared her thoughts about why the series never got off the ground to website manwithoutfear.com:
Dear Kuljit,
Thank you for your interest and e-mail.
I am surprised that you ask me that question. I received permission from Stan Lee
to have the rights to Daredevil and Black Widow for a year.
We were unable to place the series.
Actor, writer, Benny Carruthers and I did the photo shoot with Terry
O’Neill and Natasha Kornilkoff costume designer and Barbara Daly – make-up
in London and that was all that ever happened. Unfortunately at that time
it was considered too difficult and expensive to film, special effects
etc.
I appreciate your asking,
kindest regards,
Angie
These photos from the proposed TV show makes the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie look like Citizen Kane. What do you think? Let me know in the comments section below.
