Born July 24, 1951, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Lynda Carter is an American actress. She is known for the Amazonian title role in the fantasy-adventure TV series Wonder Woman which aired from 1976 to 1979.
Carter was born Linda Jean Córdova Carter in Phoenix, Arizona. Her father, Colby Carter is Irish-American, & her mother, Juana Córdova, is of Mexican & Spanish ancestry. Carter grew up an avid reader of the Wonder Woman comic books. She went to Globe High School in Globe, Arizona & Arcadia High School in Phoenix. She attended Arizona State University, but after being voted the most talented student, she dropped out in order to pursue a career in music. She toured as a singer with several rock groups before returning to Arizona in 1972.

Career
Carter entered a local beauty contest & achieved her first national fame by winning Miss World USA in 1972 representing Arizona. As the United States entrant in the Miss World pageant she reached the semi-finals. After taking acting classes at several New York acting schools, she began making appearances on TV shows such as Starsky & Hutch, Cos & Nakia & B-movies including Bobbie Jo & the Outlaw (1976). However, her acting career did not take off until she landed her starring role in the Wonder Woman television series. Her earnest performance endeared her to fans & critics & the series lasted for three seasons. Thirty years after first taking on the role, Carter continues to be closely identified with Wonder Woman, so much so that it has proved difficult for producers to find a suitable candidate to play the character in subsequent aborted productions (work on the most recent attempt was announced in 2005)

Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman.Carter's other credits include the title role in a 1983 biopic of Rita Hayworth & a variety of television specials. She also starred in a couple of short-lived TV series, including Partners in Crime with Loni Anderson. During the late 1970s, she recorded the album Portrait & made numerous guest appearances on variety television programs in a musical capacity. She also sang two of her songs in the Wonder Woman episode "Amazon Hot Wax."

In 2001, Carter was cast in the independent comedy feature Super Troopers as Vermont Governor Jessman. The writer-stars of the film, the comedy troop Broken Lizard with member Jay Chandrasekhar directing, had specifically sought Carter for the role, with plans to approach other television actresses of the 1970s had Carter declined. Carter had her first appearance in a major feature film in a number of years in the 2005 big-screen remake of The Dukes of Hazzard, also directed by Chandrasekhar. She also appears in the 2005 movie Sky High as Principal Powers, the head of a school for superheroes. The script allowed for Carter to poke fun at her most famous character when she states: "What a waste. I can't do anything more to help you. I'm not Wonder Woman, y'know."

Carter has also done voiceover work for video games, performing voices for the Nord & Orsimer (Orc) females in two computer games from The Elder Scrolls series. These are The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, & The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. These games were developed by Bethesda Softworks, of which her husband Robert Altman (not to be confused with the late Hollywood director) is Chairman & CEO.

From September 26, 2005 until November of that year, Carter played the role of Mama Morton in the West End London production of Chicago.[3] Her rendition of "When You're Good to Mama" was officially released on the Chicago: 10th Anniversary Edition cd box set in October of 2006. Receiving positive response to the song's release, Lynda booked her own cabaret act in San Francisco at the York Hotel's Plush Room from May 1 - 6, 2007.

Lynda returned to the DC Comics' television world on an April 19, 2007 episode of Smallville entitled "Progeny", where she played Moira Sullivan, the mother of Chloe Sullivan, a meteor-infected metahuman who could control the powers of other such beings, including Chloe.

Personal life
Carter has been married twice. Her first marriage was to her former agent Ron Samuels on May 28, 1977. They were divorced in 1982. Samuels was also agent to one of Charlie's Angels - Jaclyn Smith (who attended the wedding) & the Bionic Woman - Lindsay Wagner. Carter later married Robert Altman, a lawyer at the time, on January 29, 1984. Robert & Lynda have two children, James & Jessica Altman
