 CBS
has offered Lynda to return for another 22 episodes of Wonder
Woman. They have many reasons to think that Lynda could be
successful with the character again. First, she still receives
thousands of letters a year asking for the return of the series.
Second, each time Lynda appears on the screen -like in a recent
Muppets episode- she has a fantastic response from the audience
which reflects in the ratings... And third, the series was one of
the fewest that was cancelled by request of the star. |

It's interesting to recall that the character of Diana or Wonder
Woman comes from a comic strip created by Charles Moulton in 1942.
When Warner Bros bought the rights to make a series and made a
pilot in 1974 with cathy lee Crosby, it was a failure but insisted
with another one on November 7, 1975. And so Wonder Woman the
series, was born. She filmed 14 episodes for ABC during the
1976-77 season, and another 26 for CBS during the 1977-78 season.
The change of network was worth a million dollars plus a
percentage for reruns, sales, etc. The fact is that by the end of
1978 Lynda told her husband Ron Samuels -whom she married in May
1977- that she didn't want to go on with Wonder Woman. And nobody
could convince her on the contrary. All she wanted was to sing
again, and not long after she made her debut in a fantastic show
in las Vegas. Ever since and for a year and a half, she's been
singing, making records and posing for publicity. |

Lynda, who becomes 26, since she was born on July 24, 1954, is
still a stunning beauty showing her measurements of
38-25-35. Since
we're reviewing her career let's recall that she began her career
as a singer when she was 16 and after touring the country she
became Miss Phoenix in 1973, and then Miss Arizona, Miss World-USA
and a runner up in Miss World, beaten by an Australian in London.
what do you think about making another season of Wonder Woman? She
said: "I like the idea. I know how much I owe the character. But
I'm gonna ask for a lot of money and freedom to continue my career
as a singer." Let's see how it goes since she knows what she
wants. |
