"My husband never pushed me to make whatever it is to succeed... "

      The last year, LYNDA CARTER was chosen "The most beautiful woman of the world" by the academy of Beauty of London, in the UK. Only a few would defy this contest that was determined by this school of beauty whose reputation is recognized universally for several years. The public was in general okay with the academy to say that Lynda is a woman of a beauty quasi-exceptional.

      The only person to protest indeed against the nomination of LYNDA CARTER was the actress herself, that didn't hesitate to speak of her imperfections: "My teeth are not right! I don't like my smile because when I smile, I give the impression to have the face too round", she has explained. "For what is of my hair, they support sets very badly; they fall again as soon as I left of at the hairdresser. I also have a lot of difficulty with my weight; I get fat very easily."

      And as if it had not to be enough to convince the people that she is not as perfect as they seem to believe at the Lodnon academy, Lynda adds: "One should not consider me like an example of feminine beauty because I hate to frequent the lounges of beauty; I don't like that people have fun to play with my nails and my face as if it was about a new experience to tempt to improve the present science. I consider that beauty is in a woman's normal evolution and that some efforts are enough to improve the physical appearance as much as the moral aspect of a person. While aging, one learns to know yourself better and makes it even, oftenly make-up yourself less, also learns to don the clothing that goes better with us: in my opinion, all that makes part of beauty and I have the impression that it is more on points like those that one chose me, because for what is the merely plastic beauty, I believe that a lot of girls are prettier than I."

A HAPPINESS THAT EMBELLISHES

      Sometimes they say that happiness embellishes people. In the case of LYNDA CARTER, it is a fact. Lynda is a happy woman, not to say happy by life. Since her childhood, in Phoenix, in Arizona, Lynda was a little girl in full bloom who could expect a lot of life. Her parents enjoyed a certain financial ease that allowed her to take singing lessons. Lynda waited to reached the age of 15 before getting her parents the permission to become singer in a group of young musicians. She always liked music and her parents didn't want to carry hindrance especially to her happiness. Lynda knew that she had the opportunity to choose for herself the kind of life that she intended to lead and she appreciated the confidence that her parents had put in her a lot.  It was during these years where she split her time between the school and music when Lynda decided her way to follow. She decided to move to Hollywood therefore and to enroll to courses of dramatic art where she excelled.

AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN

      It is impossible to speak of happiness and the joy of life of LYNDA CARTER without speaking of the her husband, Ron Samuels. They say that behind every famous woman hides a man... that is well often the big person responsible of everything good that reaches this woman. Only a few would like to believe that, especially in the case of Lynda, this young attractive beauty, well, in spite of her, many are jealous. “People seem to believe sometimes that Ron decides for me", declare the actress. "Fortunately, I learned not to worry about the people who made such commentaries."

      Ron Samuels is also the manager of Lynda, but contrary to what what you can believe, he is not the one that discovered her, the one that would have pushed it to become the star that she is today. The truth is that Lynda had already signed to be the star of "Wonder Woman" when she met for the first time the man of her life. It is only several months after their meeting that the ABC network decided to cancel the series that Ron negotiated for his girlfriend a new contract with the CBS network. For her new contract, Lynda committed to make 26 episodes of "Wonder Woman" for $1 million.

      Married since May 28, 1977, Lynda and Ron are always as happy to be together as when they went to Hawaii, where they spent one week in honeymoon. But Lynda is anxious to specify that she is the only person responsible for the success that she got with "Wonder Woman". She deplores the fact that people always come back on this question when they approach the topic of her glory or her fortune. People seem to need always to find a reason when a woman succeeds. It is as if the women were not enoigh intelligent to make their own decisions. They always say that the woman owes all to her man. I adore my husband, but he never pushed me to make whatever it is to succeed. I am before a whole very independent girl and I am anxious to keep this position. That, Ron knows it well, and he immediately understood me."

READY TO DO ALL TO SAVE THEIR HAPPINESS

      Thus, after two years of glory and common life, Lynda always considers herself like a happy woman, especially as she has luck to be able to work enough often in company of her husband. A thing is certain, in the life of this couple, it is that they intend to use the experience of their nearness in order to protect, as much as possible, the happiness that they know since they are together.

      "Ron and I have a point in common, I believe, is essential to the good understanding between two beings who share the same roof. We always speak ourselves with exemption. When something doesn't go, we say it, to the risk of hurting the other. It is in my opinion the only way to remain united because it ends up existing quite between us a sort of intimate complicity that no one else can feel."

      So Ron Samuels knew how to find happiness with the very beautiful LYNDA CARTER, but first of all he considers her an intelligent woman. Contrary to all these men who turn around on the passage of this big brunette blue-eyed, Ron didn't linger to appreciate other qualities than the physical qualities of this young actress. Lynda is a capable woman and is not always easy to make her reason, but victory is again, just as happy to take the time to get it. Ron is conscious of the luck he has to have by his side a woman who he sincerely likes, in spite of the fact that she tried thousands of men and he is anxious to keep this woman's love that demand henceforth only one thing to know happiness, the joy to have a child.
