Lynda Carter (born July 24, 1951) is an American actress and singer. She is best known for the Amazonian title role in the fantasy-adventure television series Wonder Woman which aired from 1975 to 1979.

However, Carter’s acting career did not take off until she landed her starring role in the Wonder Woman television series. Carter has stated that the savings her parents set aside for her to pursue acting in Los Angeles was almost depleted and she was close to returning to Arizona when her manager informed her that the Wonder Woman television series producers selected her to star. Her earnest performance endeared her to fans and critics, and the series lasted for three seasons. Thirty years after first taking on the role, Carter continues to be closely identified with Wonder Woman.

As the program was winding down, Carter told a national magazine:

“I hate men looking at me and thinking…what they think; and I know what they think–they write and tell me.”

She was referring to the sexually explicit content of some of the letters she had received from male admirers.

Carter was also upset with some of the marketing of her image while taping the series. Warner Bros. worked out a deal with the toy company Mego to create a doll series on the Wonder Woman television series while it was still on the air. While interviewed on The Late Show in 1987 Carter commented:

“I think that you’re probably familiar with a problem in Hollywood, and that is that they market you and they use you. They did a mask of my face and put it on the doll and they put my name on for the first run of it. And then they took my name off and said they didn’t have to pay me anymore. So it’s the kind of thing that you can be used SO much in this industry. I make nothing. I don’t even make anything from the reruns. Don’t ever settle for net profits. It’s called creative accounting.”

This tin sign makes a great gift.
