Carter will forever own the character, much like the late Christopher Reeve will always be the Man of Steel for those of us who can recall seeing his Superman films in the movie theater.Īlthough Carter later claimed that she landed the role of the legendary girl-power superhero in part because she looked like the comic book drawings of her, she lit up the small screen with her beauty, figure, youth, and her portrayal of the demure Diana Prince.

Young Gal Gadot is a wonderful Wonder Woman - but she'll never be a young Lynda Carter. Consider Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman in the DC superhero films being produced today (notably Wonder Woman and Justice League) - she plays a stunning, strong, and funny Wonder Woman. This combination of strength, bravery and sex appeal made Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman the definitive screen version of the character. As TV's first female superhero, she was an inspiration to women and girls, while her beauty-queen looks (she'd been Miss World USA) and snug star-spangled costume kept teenage boys and their fathers tuning in.

Famed as the 1970s TV incarnation of Wonder Woman, young Lynda Carter became the feminine ideal for the three seasons (1976-1979) her show aired.
