Former beauty queen Lynda Carter says she used to practise telepathy and levitate tables. And she still sees teh future in dreams.
LYNDA CARTER, who as TV's Wonder Woman throws a gold lassoo that paralyses baddies, has some stunning super powers of bee own. She claims that she has read her sister's mind, predicted the future through her dreams and levitated tables—raising them off the ground by willpower.
"I don't know how my sister Pamela and I came up with levitation," says 28-year-old Lynda. "I was about six and Pam about eight when we would sit down and `ask' the table to rise.
"We concentrated as hard as we could and said : `Rise, table, rise.'
"While we were kneeling, the table would rise above us. We would stand up and the table would go above our heads."It was just a game to us—but my father thinks to this day that we had rigged the table with wires.
"Pam and I have tried to levitate tables since, but without success. "At one time we passed telepathic messages to each other. One of us would think of an object and the other would get it right nine times out of ten. "Pam would think of a rose and I'd see a daisy—but it was still a flower."
WARNING Beauty queen Lynda, a former Miss USA, also forecasts the future, through dreams. She says: "Once, I dreamed that I was talking to director Francis Ford Coppola. The two of us were wearing muddy boots.
"At the time, it sounded ridiculous but I thought that one day I would work with him—and it happened.
"I was offered a part in his Apocalypse Now, Later, the two of us were sitting and talking—and we were wearing muddy boots. Occasionally, she says, some power from within her "takes over" while she is talking to somebody and warns of forthcoming danger.
Lynda says: "I was talking to a stunt man and I heard myself saying : 'Don't ride in the motorcycle race this weekend.' " But she adds: "The message wasn't from me."
MESSAGE "I didn't even know that he was racing. During the race he decided to drop out because of a problem with the handlebars and he was uninjured."
Lynda believes that her powers come from God and her faith as a "bom again Christian."
She worked this out three years ago after she had married her manager Ron Samuels, and her career was starting to rocket.
Lynda says: "I had fame, success, a happy marriage, a beautiful home overlooking Hollywood but somehow I still felt empty—until I rediscovered God."
She says of Ron: "We went to lunch on a Friday, played tennis on Saturday, went out Sunday—and I haven't left him since."
They hope to start a family soon, despite the demands of her career.
"My mother always said I would know the right man when he came along." says Lynda.
"I waited a long time before I met Ron. Then it happened so fast I didn't have time to consider the pros and cons. But there was never the slightest doubt in my mind."
TALENT Ron, who is 35, has won a reputation as a talent-spotter for recognising superstars such as Bionic Woman Lindsay Wagner and Charlie's Angel Jaclyn Smith.
"It's very important to Ron and I that we were both successful before we got together says Lynda."Neither of us is riding on the other's glory."
Lynda acknowledges that most people will still think of her as Wonder Woman in a sexy, skin-tight costume—even though the show has ended and she has gone on to create a singing career in cabaret and on records.
At least she won't have to wear that tantalising costume am more—nor the bracelet that deflects bullets.
"I'm proud of how God created me." says Lynda. "But that doesn't mean I should exploit it.
"After all, 1 am a married woman and I never want to be a sexual object for anybody but my husband."
