Article: Lynda and her romance with Ron Samuels.

Author: Edward B. Camlin.

Country: USA.

Stunning Lynda Carter, TV's "Wonder Woman," is in love for the first time in her life — and the man who's swept her off her feet is Ron Samuels, manager of "Bionic Woman" Lindsay Wagner.

" Ron's a gorgeous man," bubbled 25-year-old Lynda as she cuddled with dark-haired Samuels at their plush two-story Beverly Hills town house. "I've never been in love with anyone before. I love Ron so much!"

Falling in love with the beautiful raven-haired actress "was the most in-credible delicious experience!" Samuels, who is 34, confessed to The ENQUIRER.

"It shook me up. I'm very much in love with Lynda. I love her more than anything.

"I look after Lindsay Wagner's interests 24 hours a day . and I love Lynda Carter 24 hours a day.'"

The loving pair first met at a party for ABC stars in May of 1975, but their romance didn't take off until their second meeting last year on the set of "Wonder Woman."

"I looked at Lynda and I just said, 'Wow,' " recalled Samuels. From then on, the romance sky-rocketed — and now the two are talking marriage and looking for a larger love nest.

"We're going to get married," declared Samuels. "I feel we're married already. I'm more married to Lynda than I could possibly be to any other human being as long as I live. We are emotionally married. I respect her. I'm committed to her and I love her."

The couple prefers going to quiet Italian restaurants to Hollywood partying. "I'd much rather spend time with Ron talking," admits Lynda. "There are so many things to learn about someone you're in love with. It's intriguing. It's an adventure. It's a mystery. I don't know if I'll ever know Ron entirely. He is such a growing person. He is constantly changing."

But the two find it hard to sandwich time for each other between the demands of two successful Hollywood careers. "Lynda works 12 to 14 hours a day, and I put in 10 to 12," said Samuels. "We talk for about an hour at the end of the day. There are so many things we want to talk about!

"We're never looking for something to say to each other. It's always there, "This is the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to nie."

What are their dreams for the future? "We want to keep growing together," he said. "We want our careers to continue to grow, and we want to be healthy and happy."
