BIOGRAPHY: [no bio found]
TRIVIA:
- Owns the DVD release rights to her television specials.
- Won the title of Miss World USA representing her home state of Arizona in 1972.
- The son of one of her stunt doubles, 'Jeannie Epper' (qv), told his classmates that his mother was Lynda's stunt double on the series _"Wonder Woman" (1976)_ (qv), but they didn't believe him, not even after he showed them a picture of his mother in the Wonder Woman costume from the set. When Lynda herself found out about this, she invited the boy's class to the set so they could see Jeannie herself in action.
- Measurements: 38-26-38 (Miss World USA pageant), 38-20-37 (her claim as Miss World USA, 1972), 37 1/2C-25-35 ("Wonder Woman" wardrobe) (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)
- Half Irish, half Mexican
- Performed in a band during high school called 'Just Us', which consisted of a marimba, a congo drum, an acoustic guitar, and a stand-up bass played by another girl. When she was 17 she joined another band for more exposure called 'The Relatives' (because two members were cousins) which opened at the Sahara Hotel casino lounge in Las Vegas for three months. Because Lynda was under 21 she had to enter the casino through the kitchen. 'Gary Burghoff' (qv) (who played Radar O'Reilly in _"M*A*S*H" (1972)_ (qv) ) was the drummer. In 1970 she joined the last band she sang with, called 'The Garfin Gathering with Lynda Carter', and their first performance was in a brand new San Francisco hotel that had no sidewalk entrance built yet, so they played to mostly the janitors and whatever hotel guests parked their cars in the underground garage. But she performed so well under such intimidating circumstances that Howard "Speedy" Garfin nicknamed Lynda "Wonder Woman"!
- Toured as a singer with several rock groups before returning to Arizona in 1972.
- When asked, during her on-line Lens Express chat on November 8th, 1999, who she would like to portray Wonder Woman in a big screen movie version, she stated that she would prefer either actress 'Catherine Zeta-Jones' (qv) or supermodel 'Cindy Crawford (I)' (qv).
