Author: Dominique Cleroux.
Country: Canada.

"Although work separated the couple during two years, their union succeeded in coping."

     Who doesn't know Lynda Carter, the sexy actress who embodied the character of "Wonder Woman" on the small screen! Indeed, since some years, the number of the admirers of Lynda didn't stop increasing, and it continues growing. But with this strong pace, seductress's face, Lynda knows how to bewitch her spectators, who won't get tired of reviewing the same episodes of the series again and again during years. Because now, Lynda is free, the series has finished. It is necessary to say that Lynda is rather happy with this change, that caused a major transformation in a lot of aspects of the actress's life.

MORE WORK

     Now that "Wonder Woman" is a thing of the past, Lynda is not obliged anymore to present herself every day to work, as it is the case for all stars who has her own series. But it doesn't mean that she now spends her days lounging in her luxurious house of Beverly Hill. No, she continues to work, but in a less exhausting  way. She participated in a movie for the television, "The Last

Song" lately, as well as in a TV special in her honor. Besides, she waits for the last developments of her first feature film, "The Shroud", that should be filmed in a short time. In addition to all that, she works with a very comprehensible ardor on her second album, that should be a success when it's out in the stores. And she chose her  husband, Ron Samuels, to assure the production of this LP, who is able to understand well. And to finish the dish, she bought herself a magnificent horse, Jose, who lives on the ranch of the couple, an immense property of 18 acres, on which Lynda and her husband have the intention to make construct a house of big luxury, with heated swimming pool and tennis court! As one can notice, the actress wants to pay for the good time.

A HAPPY PERIOD

     Thus, since she stopped making "Wonder Woman", Lynda rather crosses a happy period, and very active. But today, it is not as when she played in the series, because a lot of things changed in its schedule. "It pleases me a lot of to have a little free time", tells Lynda while smiling, "I want to say, not to have to wake up at dawn every day and to go to sleep when it's dark every evening. Of course, I am a little anxious to start, I am afraid to throw me again in something. But in truth, it is really well to be home when my husband leaves to work in the morning, and when he comes back in the evening. During the first two years of our marriage, I woke up before him, and I came back to the house after him. It is good, now, to know like what looks the married life." A humorous way to say that work separated this couple, who nevertheless has been successful to cope very well.

AN UNITED COUPLE

     Lynda and Ron form a very beautiful couple, tenderly united by the ties of the love, sharing dreams and hopes, but also respecting the personality of each other. "I have a certain number of goals to reach", declares Lynda, "that is the things that I decided to make." I always wanted to sing, because music constitutes an important part of my life. Besides, I am happy when I sing, because it brings me something. It gives me a thing that it is impossible for me to get elsewhere. It has a little excitation, in this thing, there is a lot of pleasure, but it remained completely indefinable". So, the television doesn't fully satisfy Lynda. She finds that the small screen can be, sometimes, unrealistic. "I aim farther than movies for the television", she confides, "because these movies are not realistic. It is not that I would like to give everything up, but they treat real problems, as the nuclear danger, in a way so light that one has the impression that the atomic energy is a game of children."

A NEW MOVIE

     Now, Lynda Carter has the eyes turned toward the world of the movies. She must be indeed the star of her first feature film, "The Shroud", whose action occurs around the mystery of the holy Shroud, a strip of material that would have surrounded Christ's body after his death (and before his resurrection). "One can see Christ's picture on this piece of the cloth", Lynda tells. During years, a lot of people tried to prove that the Saint Shroud was a forgery, but no one arrived could prove it. The movie tells the history of a woman and her husband that is implied in this mystery. We are going to shoot this movie in Spain, and I am very eager to begin." Lynda could not be more excited.

A DIFFICULT LIFE

     Even though the life of Lynda is a thing filled with success, it is not less difficult to live. "All was so good", she says while referring at the time where she shot more episodes of the series, "and it was very hard to take. All went for best in my life, but I told to myself that there would be a catastrophic change that would demolish everything that I had. I always tempted to foresee, and I supervised myself, because I was always afraid to lose all."

     The actress breathes a long sigh, then continuous: "It is not like that you must live a life, but it was what I made. I feared, spied on, supervised. But today, all has turned well. Now, I speed along." You imagine comfortably to what can resemble a Wonder Woman that speeds along toward the glory, and this top speed. She likes her husband, who likes her, and the couple runs away a small place in the sun, especially on their ranch. Lynda would like one day to raise the chickens, a pig and a cow; it is part of her projects. But in her projects, there is also the dream to give birth to a child, but that is for later...
