Nobody can say that beautiful Lynda Carter is a "product" invented by her husband, the famous Ron Samuels, but there's no doubt that he's turning her into a machine of making dollars. Her Argentinean fans would like to know more about her, since on September 3rd she'll be in Buenos Aires to perform in a theatre and make some TV presentations. This presentations are part of a plan "to conquer the world" initiated by Ron Samuels, who has arrangements for two years ahead. When Lynda and Ron met she was already Wonder Woman. She began with the series by the end of 1975, and in 1976 Lindsay Wagner introduced her to Ron Samuels. Soon after they began a double relationship. They fell in love and he took charge of her business. He got for her a change of network and a million dollars for 26 episodes. At the same time they were marrying on May 1977, and they say that Ron, besides the fabulous diamond-ring, gave her a million dollar contract. Though it's her that earning the money with her work, but that's another story. At the same time he convinced her that "Wonder Woman" wouldn't last forever and that she should return to her first professional love: singing. With the TV publicity she would make should-out presentations from New York to Las Vegas, and then South America and Europe. Even more, she's got a series of publicities for make-up, dresses, making fabulous figures. They say that every time Lynda's posing for a photo and saying a word, Ron is managing the cash register turning everything into dollars. Lynda doesn't pay attention to this commentaries and goes on with her fabulous career.

     Born in Phoenix, Arizona, on June 24 1954, daughter of an antiques dealer named Colby Carter and of Jean, a smart woman. Since she was a child she showed more interest for the arts than for the business. She studied music, singing and dancing and when she was 16, she made her debut with a local band. She had success and launched herself into a tour throughout the country when she was 17. When she was 19 she came back to her natal city and was inscribed in a beauty contest of which she emerged as "Miss Phoenix". Then she became "Miss Arizona", "Miss World-U.S.A." and a runner-up to the Australian winner of "Miss Universe" in London. Those triumphs, and her measurements, made Hollywood turn to her and she started with small TV roles until the "Wonder Woman" opportunity came along in 1975. The rest is well known... This young lady of considerable height and singular beauty who at the beginning of her career was earning 90 dollars a week, today talks of millions of dollars. A miracle when it comes to beauty and charm, and a husband who's a master selling illusions. When "Wonder Woman" will fade-off, she has another hundred faces to show...
