Wonder Woman is about to receive an honor very few actual human beings have received, much less fictional characters! In honor of her 75th anniversary, the United Nations will hold a ceremony at its New York City headquarters on October 21, to declare it Wonder Woman Day and among those in attendance will be the real woman who helped beam the hero’s comic book exploits into millions of homes, Lynda Carter. Carter, of course, played the flagship DC hero on the hit TV series which originally aired on ABC for its first season, then for three more on CBS. It has been in syndication off and on ever since and is now available on home video. It has also inspired a comic book series ‘Wonder Woman ’77′ set within the show’s continuity.

The role remains Carter’s main claim to fame, but she has worked steadily since, both in live action acting, voice acting for countless animated and video game projects and as a touring singer. The entire time, Carter, a former Miss World USA– who doesn’t appear to have aged more than a year since leaving the role– has continued to embrace the character, that for which she stands and of course, the still devoted fanbase.

“Wonder Woman taught women to be who you are. I have received the greatest letters from people telling me what an inspiration she was to them because she represents an inner strength every woman has… To honor Wonder Woman and women all over the world is just amazing.”

Thank you! I watched the hearings. Was working second shift back then.

She likes to lasso bad boys with her magic rope.

I could never figure out how they prevented them from popping out of her super suit. Maybe super glue?

There is such a thing. Every beauty pageant has someone running around with a spray can of it to head off wardrobe malfunctions during the swimsuit competition.

Clark Clifford. One of the architects of everything we loathe and detest about Washington today.

Lynda Carter says ‘Supergirl’ part inspired by ‘role model’ Hillary Clinton

Television’s famous “Wonder Woman” says she drew inspiration for a new role from Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.

Lynda Carter’s superhero days from the 1970s may be far behind her, but she will soon portray the U.S. commander in chief on the second season of CW’s “Supergirl.” The actor told Variety that Mrs. Clinton served as a template for the character.
