For those who missed Lynda’s first appearances as Lorraine Dillon on "Law & Order: SVU" last year (shame on you), you will have not one, not two, but three chances to see her infamous character outwit NYPD detectives Benson & Stabler as the part of a grifter mother-daughter team who’ll stop at nothing to get their nefarious way. The episode "Design" will be shown on the USA channel, 1 October at 3:00pm, 7 October at 9:00pm and 8 October at 1:00am. Watch Lynda’s chilling portrayal of a devious, manipulative mother, a character unlike one you have seen her play before.

Exclusively for WONDERLAND, T shares the genesis of the whole process including some exclusive images!

Let’s hope that her character gets time off for good behavior and returns for many more evil roles in the future on these top-rated televison shows!
“DC Direct is thrilled to be working with Lynda to bring this statue to the fans”, said Georg Brewer, VP of Design & DC Direct. “Lynda’s time as Wonder Woman is indelibly imprinted in all our minds.”
Although there have been many Wonder Woman collectibles over the years, this is the first item ever to be based on Lynda’s likeness! Hand-painted and made of cold-cast porcelain, the 13.5 inch statue features Princess Diana of Paradise Island, golden lasso in hand, as in “THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WONDER WOMAN” when the show took place in modern times.
“It was an honor and a privilege to sculpt one of the true icons of pop culture”, says Bruckner. “Lynda Carter will always be the quintessential Wonder Woman, and I hope that I was able to do justice to the character she brought to life.” Bruckner has sculpted Wonder Woman before for DC Direct several times before, usually based on the style of a specific comic artist, such as Adam Hughes or Alex Ross.
The statue will be a limited edition and is to retail for $195.00. So, save your nickels and if the statue sells well, probably more will be released.
“Chicago” producer Barry Weissler said “It’s an amazing testament to the genius of the creators, Bob Fosse and John Kander and Fred Ebb that our production of “Chicago” has played over 4,500 performances and will celebrate it’s 10th year.

Not only has it been a glorious ride on Broadway, but it’s many international and national productions have proven that “Chicago” is a timeless show!” Lynda, as we all know, graced the London stage last fall as “Matron Mama Morton” for 8 glorious weeks and sang her heart out each and every night!
The performance and post-gala will benefit Safe Horizon, a victim assistance agency that provides support, prevents violence, and promotes justice for victims of crime and abuse, their families and their communities. Tickets for the 10th Anniversary Gala range from $500-$5000. For reservations call (212) 577-8291 or visit events@safehorizon.org.
Since her last birthday, Lynda has kept up her the successful resurgence of her career with the premiering of two hit movies, “Sky High” and “The Dukes of Hazzard”, two top-rated television appearances in “Law & Order: SVU” and “Law & Order”, a successful 8-week run in London as “Matron Mama Morton” in the play “Chicago”, a charming short film with unbelievably fantastic computer graphics called “TempBot”, a tough-as-nails Army Colonel who kicks vampire butts in "SLAYER", yet Lynda still has time to honor graduating seniors and accept an award from a prestigious woman’s group as a “Living Legacy”. But there’s more to come for Lynda this year, including her participation in her first audio recording since her “Portrait” album, and a return to San Francisco for a new movie role in the fall after she sees her beloved son off to college
Lynda, We, your many Fans wish nothing but the Best for You on this blessed day of days, and even though your family will soon not be all together, may their Love and Laughter sustain You wherever You go! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman and a half dozen other DC superheroes will star on new postage stamps and cards being released and will go on sale nationwide today. The new 39 cent stamps and 24 cent postal cards will be made public at a comic book show in San Diego. The stamps are sold in a sheet of 20, half featuring the individual superheroes, and half showing the covers of comic books starring them. Wonder Woman has two in this set, and the Postal Service reports that this is the first set of superhero stamps, indicating that there will be more to follow.
The other heroes are Plastic man, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman, Hawkman, Supergirl, and Green Arrow. Rush, no, Fly to your nearest post office and begin your collection today!
One of Lynda’s costume’s which she wore as television’s "WONDER WOMAN" will be among the costumes displayed, as well as designs by Bob Mackie for Carol Burnett, gear from the 1970’s shows “Battlestar Galactica”, “The Amazing Spider-Man”, plus creations from 80’s show “Dynasty” and “Solid Gold”. Although the mannequins faces are non-descript, it is entirely possible for anyone who has watched
the show to identify each character simply by their costume, says the exhibit curator Mary Rose. “This is what is so important about television. Unlike film, when they have lots of time to establish your personality and character, in television we have to use what we call a “stereotype look” so that you have instant recognition in the smallest time.”
The exhibit will run through September 9th.
Six months later, Hawks’ team is dispatched by his commanding officer, Colonel Weaver (Lynda Carter), to search for another team that has disappeared in the same area, which was led by Sgt. Grieves (Kevin Grevioux), Hawks’ best friend. Reports are coming in that the vampires now seem to be organized and are attacking the local villagers with military-style assaults. And to make things even worse, Hawk leans that his botanist ex-wife Laurie (Jennifer O'Dell) is also on the same jungle on a research grant, investigating the local insect life. Talk about heavy responsibility!
Written, produced and directed by Kevin VanHook, "SLAYER" is a visually exciting, heart-pounding thriller, with the introduction of “Vampiros”, the South American Vampires, to the US sci-fi aficionados. The SCI-FI Channel scores another hit with "SLAYER" and any horror, fantasy or sci-fi fan worth his or her salt should love this small-screen flick, especially with the cool caliber of talent attached to it, such as Casper Van Dien as a redoubtable vampiros- killer Captain Hawk and Lynda Carter as tough-as-nails Colonel Weaver, whose parting shot impresses everyone!
