"I
auditioned five girls, one of which was Lynda Carter. They were
all different looking girls. It was amazing, the girls that they
had considered. I can't remember her name now, but it finally came
down to Lynda and another girl. I thought Lynda looked like Wonder
Woman. She has the same hair and skin coloring and body and
everything. The other girl was a far more experienced actress but
didn't look anything like Wonder Woman. She had red hair, she
wasn't terribly attractive, and she was lean. They asked my
opinion, and I told them Lynda was my choice because she looks
like Wonder Woman. Lynda was kind of athletic, she was a dancer,
but she had no experience at all. I guess you really didn't need
experience playing Wonder Woman. We had good directors, and she
was a very willing student." -Lyle Waggoner. |
