 When
you've already done four variety specials, what do you do in the next
one for, well, variety? "Lynda Carter: Body and Soul," her fifth musical
hour due on CBS this spring, will feature standard fare such as songs
with guests Ben Vereen and Eddie Rabbitt. The variety came when
producers flew the star to her home state, Arizona. There, Carter
(above) sang at various breathtaking desert and mountain locations,
in-chiding a stint—for a 15-second segment—atop a 2000-foot, almost
inaccessible butte. We were 20 miles from civilization," remembers
director-producer Don Mischer. |

"Sand got in all the equipment and we lost two cameras. In the morning,
it was 40 degrees; by the afternoon, it was in the 90s." Carter was
flown to the living room-sized top of the rock formation by helicopter,
and though some members of the crew probably wished her roots were in
Wichita, Kan., or Dover, Del., Carter herself enjoyed the homecoming.
"It was fun," she says. "I leaned over the edge and looked down. I even
carved my initials in the rock up there." |
