Wonder Woman is still fighting crime, after all these years.

Lynda Carter, 56, who played the superhero on TV, discovered the dead body of a woman floating in the Potomac River while canoeing Thursday.

The actress flagged down nearby boaters and they called rescuers, who pulled the body from the river, a spokesman for the Washington D.C. Fire Department said.
