Linda Carter Talks Wonder Woman

Linda Carter Talks Wonder Woman Source: TV Guide Wednesday, June 30, 2004
TV Guide spoke with Linda Carter about her days as Wonder Woman:
"TV Guide Online: Uh, I'm one of those guys who drooled over you when I was a kid.
Lynda Carter: I think that's very cool. You know, I like Wonder Woman, too. I thought she was the bomb, as my daughter would say.
TVGO: Wonder Woman was kind of the full package, huh?
Carter: What I was hoping for was that men would see that women could be a lot of things: She was beautiful, smart and able to kick ass but also a good egg. It wasn't just about how she looked.
TVGO: How often do you hear the theme song?
Carter: It's kind of my "Hail to the Chief." They play it whenever I'm around.
TVGO: Who'd win in a fight between you and the Bionic Woman?
Carter: The Bionic Woman and I would never be fighting. We'd be on the same side. If they had to, I would say that there's no way that Wonder Woman could be defeated because of her heart."

Wonder Woman Returns!
by John Sellers
Lynda Carter
In the 1970s, Lynda Carter was fighting for your rights in her satin tights, at least on Wonder Woman, the show that made her famous. The 52-year-old former Miss USA is content with her own version of Paradise Island these days — raising her two kids in Washington, D.C. — but she does take occasional acting work, including a guest spot on Hope & Faith last fall. With the DVD of Wonder Woman's first season now in stores, we fired some bullet-like questions Carter's way — and she deflected them even without her magic bracelets.

TVGO: But could you take Lindsay Wagner in an arm-wrestling match?
Carter: Oh, absolutely. No question about it.
TVGO: As '70s superheroines on TV, did you have a competition going with Wagner?
Carter: Not really, no. As a matter of fact, she was my friend.
TVGO: How do I perfect Wonder Woman's signature spin move?
Carter: Honey, it's a secret, and one that I will never divulge.
TVGO: What would it take to get you back in the costume?
Carter: Oh, God! There's not enough incentive in the world. World peace? I mean, I suppose I could get into that kind of shape again, but it would be like what Brad Pitt did for Troy, where he took a year to get buff.
TVGO: While in costume, did you ever look in the mirror and say, "Yeah, I look hot"?
Carter: No. Unfortunately, I looked in the mirror and saw flaws. That's the way that it goes when you're young. Now I look back and think, "Yeah..."
TVGO: What's the least glamorous thing you did while dressed as Wonder Woman?
Carter: Smoke a cigarette, probably. That would be right up there. Very bad.
TVGO: How much would you sell the magic lasso to me for?
Carter: [Laughs] It doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to my kids. I couldn't sell it.
TVGO: OK, then how about if you just lasso me and, you know, make me tell the truth?
Carter: Well, I would have some really great questions to ask you. We could get into some real soul-searching. [Pause] It would be really fun to put that around George Bush.
TVGO: It would help the world. So I should just forget about the lasso thing, right?
Carter: You know what, you're just too young for me, honey.
TVGO: How often do people say, "Dude, there's Wonder Woman!"
Carter: It's a daily occurrence. Even when I think there's no way anyone can recognize me — no makeup, my hair's up, I have a cap on — someone recognizes my voice and says, "Aren't you Linda Evans?"
TVGO: In 1976, you did Battle of the Network Stars. Got any dish?
Carter: After my team won the tug of war, we all had champagne. I took the bottle and dumped it over [host] Howard Cosell's head, not knowing he had a hairpiece. He was so p---ed off. He was so upset. So every time I saw him at a restaurant in New York, I sent over a bottle of champagne. And he always knew who it was from.
