Gal Gadot might be at the helm these days, but Wonder Woman will always be associated with Lynda Carter. She portrayed the female superhero from 1975 to 1979, earning acclaim and the love of loyal fans in the process. Lynda was even voted “The Most Beautiful Woman in The World” back in 1978. Lynda was born on July 24, 1951 in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1972, she won the Miss America crown on behalf of her hometown of Arizona. Overnight, she became a household name.

In 1995, she starred as Elizabeth in the Hawkeye series. In 2005, she starred in the NBC TV series Law&Order and briefly appeared in the American TV sitcom Two and a Half Men in 2013. Outside of acting, she also recorded and released the album Portrait.

While she has personal struggles for a time, in true superhero fashion, Lynda overcame them all.
