Lynda
Carter has been a favorite with television audiences since her
first series-, Wonder Woman', was a hit in the mid-1970s. Since
then, the actress has made a point of playing strong, independent
women. I was very drawn to the character of Elizabeth Shields,"
says Carter. "This, is a woman who had no real desire to come to
the wilderness-, she was just following her husband. But her
husband has disappeared, and Elizabeth must look within herself
for the strength to survive in a hostile, unfamiliar environment.
Television has always looked at the wilderness from a man's point
of view; HAWKEYE will explore the way women lived and triumphed
over hardships more, than 200 years ago." |
