 AN EXCEPTIONAL MARRIAGE
|
|
|
|
When most of couples set a cause
of separation regarding the business, Lynda Carter found an idillic love
in company of Ron Samuels, her husband and personal manager. It is
difficult for a couple to survive the hard medium of show business, but
when you listen to the statements of Ron and Lynda, it is far from being
an impossible thing. It’s easy to see the good way. For these two
lovers, the way to cope work with their life as a couple, summons up in
a very simple thing: While being the manager of Lynda, Ron can follow
closely the destiny of his wife, with his joys and his miseries. As he
is personally implied in the success of his wife, does not develop any
jealousy in relation to that (it is known that this kind of professional
competition was often the cause of considerable divorces in Hollywood).
" We have a very good match", declared recently Ron to an American
journalist, " None of us is not in competition with the other and in a
city like Hollywood, this absence of competition proves very positive
for a marriage between members of the show business ". |

|
But even in the absence of
competitive feelings, certain marriages failed, quite simply because the
two were too much implied in their work. When people pass their life on a
film set, and they see each other only on rare occasions, it is obvious
that their union inevitably ends up suffering from it. But for Linda
and Ron, this problem is regulated by the fact that they often find each
other during the working hours. When they were both
in New York to take care of certain details concerning the productions in
which Linda took part, you could see them having fun together like two
young lovers, roller skating in the street, which surprises most of the
people. Indeed, after two years of common life, such a heat is rather
rare in the world of stars!! |

AN
UNITED COUPLE |
|
|
|
In fact, which differentiates
this couple from the other Hollywood marriages, it is
this kind of energy which seems to link them forever.Lynda's not
a trophy for Ron. They're both mad about each other and their love exceeds all
considerations. Maybe that's why they're rarely seen at parties in
Hollywood. They prefer the intimacy of their
ranch, located far from the lights, in the distracting and unhealthy world
which characterizes the show business. "We don't leave toow aften", declared Lynda, " I need to be alone with Ron, or to
be in company of a small group of close friends. With them, I can be
myself ". While its Ron's second marriage, Lynda discovers
for the first time the joys and sorrows of the marital life.
But if you believe what they say, it seems they like the
experiment. "I will leave my career without hesitating if I felt
that it could enter in conflict with what I share with Ron", she says
without hesitating. "I want to have children with this man ". As for Ron, his point of view is simpler with regard to his
wife, as he briefly explains it: " I am madly in love with this woman ". |

AN INSECURE
WOMAN |
|
|
|
But if the
marital life of Lynda seems to follow
an ideal way, that does not prevent the actress from feeling a great
insecurity, especially regarding her work. "I am a fragile
person and not very sure of myself", she confesses, "and I was
attacked by many people, I need the make-up to feel me at ease with
work. I can hide behind it. I make up myself to put a wall
between me and the people. This wall is impenetrable, I cannot be touched nor wounded." Lynda's
reputation suffered (justified) criticisms
formulated mainly because of the naïvete of "Wonder Woman". But the actress was not responsible for this. "I
shouted when the scenarios were bad", she explains with conviction. "Week after week, nothing changed, except the names of the
villains. Then I made noise. But they don't like to make a
deal with a demanding woman ". But with Ron, things are quite
different, as it implies it in a sentence that he's in charge of
direction. " But that doesn't mean I'm submissive..." |

A NEW BIRTH |
|
|
|
Today, Lynda Carter is not any
the same one any longer. Iindeed, she rediscovered Christianity, of which
she is now an enthusiastic follower. "When I
became famous, I realized that I did not enjoyed it because I was afraid",
she says. "I
suffered from insomnia and depression. I had glory, fortune, a fantastic marriage, but that did not prevent me from feeling
me empty. I tried from metaphysics to clairvoyance, but nothing
satisfied me ". At this point her sister
talk to her about God. "When I said to her that I did not know how to
pray, she told me: Lynda, you only have to speak to him the way you
want! That's what I did. I asked him to come to
my life to help me bring changes where I needed them". And since then,
Lynda is happy of her new belief, which seems to bring her the comfort
she needed so much.... |
|
|
|
ONLY FOR HIM |
|
|
|
You could ask yourself how Lynda could cope her Christina vision with
her sex symbol status. But she solved it by leaving her old image. "I never intended to be a sex
object for anyone, except my husband ", she explains. "God created me,
and I am proud of what he created, but that doesn't mean that I
must exploit it. If I made such a thing (and I am very afraid that
I did), I am sincerely sorry. When I see the reaction of the
men looking at my photos, I want to scream. I am not the woman
you see in the posters". Indeed, Lynda is another person: a
happy wife, an artist in full rise, here are of the expressions
which define her better than that of the humiliating sex object. But the more time pass, the less
you will remember Wonder
Woman, probably Lynda Carter is in the spirit of people as an
appreciated and respected actress. But what counts, is the harmony of
her marriage. Thanks to this priority and the intelligent organization
of her life, Lynda can give happiness to a man without giving up her
talent and she can gives us manys urprises... |
