Linda Jean Córdoba Carter (Samuels/Altman)

While not the first actress to play Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter is certainly the best-known.
A former Miss USA with several minor tv acting credits, Lynda stepped into the star-spangled ensemble after a previous pilot with a miscast Cathy Lee Crosby in a "modernized" version failed to sell.
The nostalgically World War II-set New, Original, Wonder Woman made Lynda a poster-selling sex symbol to rival Farrah Fawcett-Majors!
However, ABC decided not to renew the series, so CBS picked it up, updating it to the present.
The show, retitled New Adventures of Wonder Woman postulated that Princess Diana returned to Paradise Island after WWII, and that new threats to world peace brought her back to the US!
The series ran two more years.
Then Lynda did a number of tv-movies including a biopic of Rita Hayworth and was a regular on two series (Partners in Crime and HawkEye)
Recently, she's done a number of guest-shots on tv series including Smallville and a two-parter on Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU, and supporting roles in several feature films including The Dukes of Hazzard and Sky High, as well as currently touring the country on a caberet singing tour!
If and when they finally make a Wonder Woman feature film, there's only one choice to play the immortal Queen Hippolyta--and that's the greatest Wonder Woman of all--Lynda Carter!
