 It
really is the mawkish sincerity of the stars that undermines their
credibility in matters of the heart. When Wonder Woman Lynda Carter
married manager Ron Samuels, she bragged to anyone who'd listen that
alone among God's creatures she'd been lucky enough to find Mr. Right.
Lynda has never said just why she left him five years later, except that
the reasons were "really very personal," though the actress insists that
that isn't a smoke screen for the fact that he was Jewish and she was
fervently born-again (a widely promoted change that happened to coincide
with the cable TV debut of Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw, in which she'd
frolicked topless). Additional reasons for the split may have had to do
with the fact that Ron and Lynda had worked together day after day and
got on one another's nerves, and Lynda had trouble accepting that the
public wanted no part of her unless it was flesh-colored. Then, too,
maybe Ron happened to catch Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw on the tube and
realized there was more to life than watching his bride pass out
religious pamphlets on street corners. |
