Teela - Masters of The Universe (1987)

Masters of The Universe (1987)

In the 1987 film Masters of the Universe, she is portrayed by Solid Gold dancer-turned-actress Chelsea Field as a mostly-serious fighter who rarely allows her dark sense of humor to show through. Nothing is said of her being the daughter of the Sorceress (who is portrayed here by Christina Pickles of St. Elsewhere fame). Teela's costume in the film is quite different from its animated depictions. It is more of a body suit that covers most of her body, including her arms and legs, and is colored gray. Field portrays Teela as having a curly brown mane rather than her usual red/auburn hair. The movie also hints that Teela is vegetarian, given her reaction in a scene where she and Man-At-Arms are eating barbecued ribs. This version of Teela also seems more adept at handling a laser gun over the staff-wielding, aerobic Teela seen in other incarnations.
