The epitome of the word "statuesque," brunette, big blue-eyed, and 6' tall Lynda Carter was once considered one of the most beautiful women in the western world. Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Carter's height caused considerable awkwardness in high school. Friends had also encouraged her to become a performer; she began studying voice and by the time she graduated, she was then named her school's most talented student. She briefly attended Arizona State University, but dropped out to become a professional singer and tour the country with several rock groups. By 1972, Carter had returned home and entered a local beauty pageant. She also won and went on to win the title of Miss World USA. After that, Carter studied acting in New York. She started her career in television making guest appearances on such shows as Starsky and Hutch, but Carter did not become famous until officially winning over the title role of Wonder Woman in 1975. The Wonder Woman shows originally started out as specials on the ABC network, but by 1976, it had been turned into a live-action TV series. The network cancelled the show after one season and it was then fortunately picked up by CBS and aired there for over a few more years. When the series had ended with its third season run, she then had a somewhat successful career as a Las Vegas entertainer. She also continues to occasionally appear in many television movies of today and as a series guest star.

I really loved doing the stunts. I had a lot of stunt women, because they all did something different, but I ended up doing most of the fights myself. The stunt guys taught me how to throw a punch, and eventually I became an honorary member of the Stunt Women's Association.
