WONDERLAND • The Ultimate Wonder Woman Site

	Everything is coming up roses for Lynda Carter once again. The sensationally beautiful star of Wonder Woman had been taken on and off the air in the same show more than any other performer. But just when things looked blackest, when ABC, the very network that had launched the show and then continued it on irregular "special" basis, decided to kill it once and for all for the 1977-78 season, the long-awaited reprieve came. CBS rode in to the rescue and now beautiful Lynda and Co. have found a new home weekly on that network.

	Lynda is one of the most gorgeous girls ever to hit Hollywood -as one would expect from a former Miss World-USA. She is tall (5 feet 8½ inches in her stocking feet) and willowy (weighing only 126 pounds) and she has dark hair and really special blue-gray eyes. Though she is a natural athlete, she had to undergo a rigorous training program for Wonder Woman which she did under the tutelage of one of Hollywood's veteran stunt coordinators. To this day she does most of her stunts herself.

	Lynda was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, the youngest of three children. Her family had been well-off when she was born, but suffered several financial reverses as she was growing up. This might have thrown a lot of kids completely, but it didn't bother our Lynda.

	"I knew I had to work to help at home," she says, "and that's what I did. I took any job I could get, including working as a maid in other people's homes. I saw nothing wrong in that."

She started college at Arizona State University but left before graduation to pursue a singing career. She made her debut with a band at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas.

She worked for three years as a vocalist. Then, more to pass the time than anything else, she entered a beauty contest, and ended up Miss World-USA in 1973.

"I think beauty contests are great," she says in defense of them. "How else can a girl of a moderate income family get a chance to meet all the interesting people and see the things I did?"

At the moment her life is completely taken up with her show and her new husband, Ron Samuels. An agent, one of whose clients is Lindsay (Bionic Woman) Wagner, he and Lynda fell in love at first sight, never left each other's side from that moment on, and culminated their happy relationship in marriage just this past May 28th.

Life is wonderful for this Wonder Woman and she wants to keep it that way. We hope she does.
