WONDER Woman Lynda Carter says becoming a "Born Again Christian" is the best thing that ever happened.
"Going back about two years, it seemed like I should have been on top of the world," Lynda, 27, told the GLOBE this week, from her plush Los Angeles home.
"I had a hit series with 'Wonder Woman,' I had no financial worries and I had a husband who loved me very much. I had everything I thought I wanted, but I wasn't at peace with myself. I was looking for something to bring me that peacefulness.
"I got into metaphysics, into reincarnation. I briefly flirted with all kinds of things I thought would be helpful.
"But some of the people I was around then wanted to channel my abilities in the wrong direction.
Ruins "I went to fortune tellers. And I knew people who planned their lives around what their fortune teller or ouija boards told them. But I can tell you — the occult is dangerous. It breaks up marriages, ruins careers, does terrible things to people's lives.
"The people involved in it make you believe what they are telling you is right and true. They make you dependent. And just when you are becoming the most vulnerable, they hurt you.
That was my experience andit was damaging. But it is too unpleasant to talk about the specifics."Lynda said that 20 months ago she began talking at length to her older sister who was already a born-again Christian. "My sister and I are very close," Lynda explained. "She lives in Arizona, but I would talk to her every chance I could get.
"She was always there for me and the Lord talked to me through her.
"Finding the Lord has totally changed my life, and totally for the good. He has given me consistency, which is most important because I am somewhat unpredictable. I don't consider myself a religious person in the traditional sense, but I am very involved in religion in a personal way."
The former Wonder Woman has just completed a musical special which will air on CBS-TV
this winter. She will also record an album next month, and do a three-hour TV movie called "The Last Song." Hit She will also do a film, "The Shroud," and then she and her manager/ husband Ron Samuels plan to take another crack at the Las Vegas stage.Lynda said she also wants a family.
"Motherhood is definitely for me," she said. "Perhaps even for some-time in the next year.
"I still have everything I had before. But now I also have an inner peace keeping it all together and making my life terrific."
