LYNDA CARTER

Before Gal Gadot could run (or fly!) in Wonder Woman’s shoes and skimpy outfit, Lynda Carter walked and boy did she strut in that superhero outfit. She was born in Phoenix on July 24, 1951. Credited as being the original Wonder Woman in 1975, Lynda is well known for being the iconic Amazonian from Themyscyra. She was also a pageant titleholder, who was crowned Miss World USA 1972 and finished in the Top 15 at the Miss World 1972 pageant.

To add to her laundry list of credits, she also writes songs and two of them from her albums made the Wonder Woman soundtrack. It’s hard to believe she’s achieved that in the ripe age of 68 years old and still looking fresh! Many people wonder what her secret is and staying positive in life is her only tip. She had many struggles in life like other people, but she remained steadfast and strong like a true Wonder Woman.
