A blogger by the name of Marc Tyler Nobleman recently unearthed some information on Barbara Joyce, who played Huntress. She past away last year.

I still remember what she and Danuta Wesley (Black Canary, now Danuta Pfeiffer) looked like in costume, though I was only 8 when I saw it.

It’s really sad that this is the closest we ever came to getting the superheroes as they truly appeared in the comics, complete with their accurate backstories, costumes and characteristics, on film.

Is it Back Issue 25, from November 2007? That one includes a mention of "Legends of the Superheroes" in the description.

Enjoyed the review. Funny stuff. I wonder why Marvel didn’t try somthing similar? Maybe they thought the Spider-Man/Hulk live action was serious and they didn’t want their characters to look as silly as DC’s did in this special. Although looking at the Spider-Man live action show it’s hard to think that didn’t look silly even in the 70s.

Incidentaly, there’s a back issue of Back Issue (cant remember the iss number) that has a pretty good article about this, including a section on what happened to the actresses that played Huntress and Black Canary.
