The proposal of this fortunate telefilm has arrived just in time: despite the title of Miss World-USA '72, the future actress was about to return to Phoenix. She had also recorded several records and the song is her great love.

     On the Italian screens the Bionic Woman has found a rival of good caliber: Wonder Woman. That is Lynda Carter, the attractive protagonist of the telefilm or Wonder Woman, a woman endowed with super powers that save men of the American secret service in the most desperate moments and, apparently, also herself, because she also works for this department, concealing her second identity, that of Wonder Woman that suddenly appears, spinning on herself, with the colors of the USA flag.

     Wonder Woman has dominated with success the small American screens for five years. Lynda Carter (no relation with the president) has thirty of them. Such success has put, however, in shade what has been the great love of Carter: The song.

     Despite the prestigious titles of beauty she won, Lynda was about to return to Phoenix: "When the proposal of "Wonder Woman arrived. I had to pay the the rent and I ahd no money! "
