TV GUIATV GUIA Undoubtedly women have been the major attraction of the last two TV seasons. We just have to see series like "The Bionic Woman". "Police Woman", "Charlie's Angels" and the most recent "Wonder Woman". Regarding the beauty of the stars of these series many think that the Lynda Carter, the star of "Wonder Woman, it's the most spectacular, even overcoming the superpublicized Farrah Fawcett. The success of this young lady with a series similar to "Batman", had awaken such an interest around her that the journalism needs to request an interview with so much anticipation. After several weeks waiting, we ask Lynda to resume her life instead of interviewing her.
     I was born in Phoenix, Arizona on July 24, 1952 and I'm the youngest of the three kids of Colby and Jean Carter, my parents. In my family nobody dedicated to show business and I wasn't supposed to be the exception when I was studying at Arcadia Titans High School. There I've been incited me to study singing and dancing, and I took it so seriously that I ended up making my debut as a singer at the Sahara Hotel in Vegas instead of entering the University of Arizona. Then I toured during three years singing throughout the country until I decided to take a rest in Phoenix. My friends convinced me to enter a beauty contest in my native city. I won and that moved me to enter the "Miss Arizona" contest. I won again and I was invited to participate on the "Miss World USA" contest. And I won again! The In travelled to London for the finals and this time I was defeated by a beautiful Australian girl. But all that gave me a lot of publicity. This was in 1973, and that year I moved to Los Angeles and I begun to study with Lieux Dressler and Charles Conrad. But when I knocked the door of the big studios they didn't take me very seriously. More than seeing the actress they were asking me for my measurements... In other order of things I let you know I'm 1,80 meters tall, I weight 63 kilograms, and my measurements are 94-54-92 centimetres. I better go on with my story... One day the Witzer & Small agency recommended me to the Burbank Studios to make a screen test. They were looking for an actress for the film "The Fan Club". I was rejected because I wasn't the right type but Larry Gordon, the director, was impressed with me. Not long after Gordon was recommending me to Doug Cramer who was looking for an actress to play "Wonder Woman" on TV. He showed him my screen test and they called me to hire me. I became this way an overnight star."
     And this is the story - fairy-tale-like - of one of the most beautiful women of the world television which says she's single because "she has a lot of work and no time to fall in love".
