Joanna Cameron as Andrea Thomas in the seventies superhero television show The Secrets of Isis

And as needed, she may transform into the Egyptian Goddess Isis, champion of truth and justice!

 

 

The Secrets of Isis (also called simply Isis) starred JoAnna Cameron as Andrea Thomas, a high school science teacher who found an ancient mystical amulet on an archeological dig in Egypt. The amulet belonged to Hatshepsut, an ancient Egyptian Queen and it gave the wearer the powers of Isis. Whenever Isis was needed, Andrea would reveal the amulet and recite an incantation ("O Mighty Isis!") and she would be transformed into the goddess.
