I had a massive crush on Jane Badler when she was on "V". In the spinoff series, there was a scene in which she's strangled in a hallway but it's shot from inside a room, so all we were shown was her silhouette through frosted glass during the attack because we weren't supposed to know who the killer was.

YouTube just recommended a BTS look at the show and, to my pleasant surprise, features the camera crew doing a take on the attack. She looks damn hot with a rope around her neck. The footage is kind of grainy but I finally know what she looks like with a pained expression and can die a happy man.

Jane Badler became something of an unintentional 'cult icon' with th eoriginal series of V, made & shown over here in the UK c.1984-ish.
In practically every scene, what she would do was put her hands on her hips with her legs slightly apart, and pout with a permanent scowl on her face. No wonder she quickly became famous because of her role as 'Diana' in it!

An underrated non-death scene from that series was the sweaty interrogation of Faye Grant’s character in some kind of mind warping electric shock chamber (never sure what it was actually doing to her body). Diana plays a great villain as she keeps turning up the juice, causing Faye (in a skin tight body suit that strongly suggested full nudity was the original intent) to girate and tremble as if being electrocuted. Someone warns Diana “you’re going to kill her”, but she just keeps turning the dial up until Faye collapses onto the floor. One of my favorite non-death scenes as a kid.
