Lynda Carter Career

Lynda Carter’s acting career took off when she landed the starring role on Wonder Woman as the title character and her secret identity, Diana Prince. The savings Lynda Carter had set aside from her days of touring on the road with her band to pursue acting in Los Angeles were almost exhausted, and Lynda Carter was close to returning to Arizona when Lynda Carter’s manager informed her that Joanna Cassidy had lost the role and Lynda Carter had the part of Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter’s earnest performance greatly endeared her to both fans and critics and as a result, Lynda Carter continues to be closely identified with Wonder Woman.
