 This
season in the American TV the biggest successes are by the hand of
beautiful and adventurous women. The trend of women as lead in a
series started last year with Angie Dickinson in "Police Woman."
Then came Lindsay Wagner, the delightful "Bionic Woman" and,
considering the trend, famous producers Spelling and Goldberg
gathered three beauties in "Charlie's Angels." That's Farrah
Fawcett Majors, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, playing the roles
of three beautiful detectives, which were already introduced to
the Argentinean audience. Now for the 1976-77 season, producer
Douglas S. Cramer associated with Warner Bros wanted to create for
ABC "something" bigger and got thr rights of "Wonder Woman," a
comic strip made famous by Charles Moulton and publsihed in
hundreds of publications around the world. The comic tells the
adventures of this "Wonder Woman," who has exceptional powers and
thar runs during the Second Worl War. |

The main problem for
Cramer was to cast a woman as much beatiful and actress to make
the character believable. And after a long search he found her.
"Wonder Woman" is Lynda Carter, who's been known to the world
until now only for her beauty, since she was "Miss World U.S.A."
1973 and a finalist in London for the election of "Miss Universe."
Lynda was doing a screen test for a TV movie when Cramer saw her
and he said: "I should look no further. This is Wonder Woman." So
Lynda found herself a chance in a fairy tale. First there was a
pilot and now they're shooting several episodes for a mini series
and according to the success of this episodes it sure will
continue thru teh next season. |

Lynda was born on July 24 in Phoenix. At the University she was
elected "the most complete student" and they were not talking
about her shape only... Lynda studied classical dances, sang and
piano for ten years, and she was making a career as a vocalist
when they invited her to particpate in the "Miss Phoenix" contest.
She won and and soon she became "Miss Arizona," and then "Miss
World U.S.A." All this within a few weeks. Then she moved to Los
Angeles and began taking acting classes with
Lieux Dressler and
Charles Conrad. But before being chosen for "Wonder Woman" she
only had small roles and cameos. Now she has reached fame and
she's determined to show that she has talent and not only beauty.
In 1977 she will prove thru the Argentineans TV sets with "Wonder
Woman." |
