What is the first thing that comes to mind when someone brings up Wonder Woman? Perhaps you imagine the classic red, white, and blue superhero outfit. A lot of people still wear iconic costumes on Halloween. However, it turns out that there are plenty of things we do not know about the particular outfit, as well as the actress who popularized her. Lynda Carter, it turns out, is a very enigmatic woman.
You Probably Did Not Know This About The Wonder Woman Costume Worn By Lynda Carter
They Changed The Costume After Season One
The first comic book about Wonder Woman came out during the Second World War. In the ‘70s, the producers of the TV show picked that time period as the setting. Diana Prince wore a pretty different costume as well. Hers had an eagle on it, which was a clear nod to the United States. This changed when the show was transferred to a different network.

Cutting Down On The Budget
ABC decided that it did not want to spend more money on the Second World Ward sets after its first season. In the end, the network dropped it from the roster. It is a good thing that the show got picked up by CBS. They decided to set it in the present day. This was not the only thing they altered about it. The costume got an update too! Instead of the eagle, it had gold stripes and flattered the body more.

The Fascinating History Of The Bracelet
Do you know who the so-called father of Wonder Woman is? His name was William Moulton Marston. He was a psychologist who was part of a trouble with his wife and ex-student. As you can imagine, this was highly unusual back in the ‘20s. The third-party, Olivia Byrne, liked to wear big bracelets. In the show, he paid tribute to his girlfriend by adding the same accessory to the superheroine outfit.

His Interest In Tying People Up
There was more to it than that, however. He was also interested in tying up other people. This is how this feature made it to the lore. In 1942, a talked to Family Circle about it: “Wonder Woman and her sister Amazons have to wear heavy bracelets to remind them of what happens to a girl when she lets a man conquer her.” Should she take off those bracelets, it is possible that she might go mad. It was different on the TV show where they were made of “feminum.” It is a metal mined in Paradise Island, where the Amazons came from. Who would have guessed that its backstory is so risqué?
His Interest In Tying People Up
It Was Hard To Design Swimwear For Her
Have you ever felt admiration for the outfits donned by the superhero? If so, you should thank Donald Lee Feld. Also known as Donfeld, he brought home an Emmy for his costume design work on an episode called “Anschluss ’77.” Despite this, he was unable to make a bikini that could stay on Lynda Carter.

They Gave Her A Wetsuit Instead
On the set of the show, they had a lot of wardrobe malfunctions with the bikini. This is not the sort of thing that would suit network television. Feld later made her underwear a tight blue wetsuit instead. On the bright side, this outfit is better suited for fighting crime compared to a two-piece.

Her Double Had To Wear It Too
Lynda Carter had her own body double for the show. This was a role taken up by a stuntwoman called Jeannie Epper. However, things did not go smoothly for her before the show. Did you know that she lost her job on The Bionic Woman because she had the wrong breast size? When she tried out for the part in Wonder Woman, she needed to appear in swimwear. In 2015, she told NPR, “I think why it worked so well is I could move exactly like Lynda moved, and it was unlike [how] I moved. I moved more like Lindsay Wagner – more of the jock, athletic kind of running. And I just learned to become Lynda. It’s like an actor can adapt to character.” She went on, “You actually have to become an actress. And you have to be able to know how to not look at the camera and yet not look like you’re not looking at the camera, you know.” It must have helped that she and Carter were friends: “Lynda and I bonded fairly soon. I’m a watcher at first, and I want to know how actresses are going to feel about me.”
Her Double Had To Wear It Too
She Had To Keep An Eye On Her Weight
You might think that it is fun to play the superheroine, but Lynda Carter had to follow a strict regimen. She needed to fit into the costume for taping, so she had an intense exercise program and diet. “I had to stay in shape, because when you’re wearing a costume like that you can’t be eating doughnuts. But I was in my twenties, and I had the body for it – which I totally took for granted,” the actress shared with the Daily Express. She has also expressed her disapproval for the practice of making stars lose weight. “I’m so sick of seeing these anorexic actresses,” Carter shared with Extra in 2007. “These people are crazy. Any place else in the country besides New York and LA, and they would be in a hospital.” These days, she promotes healthy eating and regular exercise. In 2018, she shared this with Energy Times: “I eat whatever I want. I just cut down on the portion size. It’s all about portion control, portion control, portion control. I have a better relationship with food now, but I struggle with my weight.”
She Had To Keep An Eye On Her Weight
The Cowgirl Version Of Her Costume
In the first season of the show, there is an episode called “The Bushwhackers.” It is one of Lynda Carter’s favorites because it featured Roy Rogers. The lead actress had been excited to work with the Western star. In 2010, she informed the Daily Express, “Working with Roy was a thrill because I was a huge fan, and I still have the script he signed for me.” There is something else that you need to know about this episode, however. It showed a more modest cowgirl-like outfit for the main character. We already like the ensemble in and of itself, but we are curious to know why they made the change at all. Do you think the reason was that the regular costume was not suited for horseback riding? There is also a rumor that said Roy Rogers wanted his co-star to be more covered up than usual. Interesting.

Her Outfit Is A Hit Among Drag Queens
In 2012, the actress was interviewed by Out magazine. “Do you remember the first time you saw a drag queen dressed as Wonder Woman?” they asked her. In response to that fun question, Lynda Carter narrated, “I do remember the first time my son saw one. He was with me once when I was singing in San Francisco, and a big drag queen came to the show dressed to the nines. She was great!”

How Her Son Reacted To It
“My son’s reaction was priceless, and we loved it,” the actress went on. She continued, “I will say that some of the funniest ones I’ve seen are the Wonder Woman drag queens with the big pot bellies and tons of hair on their chests. Those are the best, and I’ve had my fair share of those viewing opportunities.”
How Her Son Reacted To It
She Did Her Own Stunts In The Getup
When Lynda Carter worked on Wonder Woman, she was actually a daredevil in secret. Do you want proof? There was a scene in which the character had to hang from a chopper. You would think that Epper would be the one to do this. However, they could not shoot this without making it obvious that she was a double. In the end, Carter did it on her own. It allegedly made the producers furious!
She Did Her Own Stunts In The Getup
How She Nearly Died On The Set
There was also a time when she had a near-death encounter on the set of the show. In 1976, Lynda Carter shared with Johnny Carson that she had to jump over a car for a particular scene. They set her up on wires, but she misjudged the distance and ended up crashing straight into the vehicle itself. “You got to remember this was an era where they were just barely allowing people to know there were doubles,” Epper explained when she spoke to the NPR in 2005. She added, “For many, many, many years, all the actors and actresses said they did their own stunt work.” This was partly true for the lead actress.

It Was Hard To Get The Spin Effect Right
When it comes to the topic of superhero abilities, flying and super speed are popular. These things will come in handy, of course. However, let us not forget just how important it is for these characters to change from civilian clothes and into crime-fighting gear in the blink of an eye. Superman can head into a phone box, but this does not work for Wonder Woman. In the end, the producers found a different solution. By spinning around, Diana would transform into her alter ego with the satin tights and all.
It Was Hard To Get The Spin Effect Right
This Was Harder Than It Looks
It was harder to make than it might look. The slo-mo effect they used in the first couple of the episodes proved too expensive and complicated to keep up with. In the end, they came up with the flash. This only happened during the editing stage. In reality, Carter just slipped into the outfit. Did you know that the actress was the one to think of the spinning trick? In 2015, Entertainment Weekly found out that the producers were trying to figure out how to make the costume change work when the star suggested it. She said, “I was a dancer, so I said, ‘I can do a pirouette or a spin.’ They put in the explosion later.”
This Was Harder Than It Looks
The New Costume Is Less Colorful
Lynda Carter is not the only person to bring the character to real life. She might be most famous for it, although Gal Gadot got to try her hand at the role in 2017. She starred in Wonder Woman that year, as well as the sequel Wonder Woman 1984 three years later. Fans might have noticed that she wore a less colorful outfit than Carter did. The older actress was not impressed by this.
The New Costume Is Less Colorful
She Preferred It More Colorful And Vivid
“One thing that is missing from that great photograph [Warner Brothers] released of Gal Gadot… I mean, she looks really great in [the costume], but where are the colors? Where’s the red, white, and blue?” Lynda Carter told Nerdist in 2014. The interviewer was in agreement with her, although she went on, “I’m sure she’ll be great. She’s lovely.” In 2020, the iconic actress shared what it was like to watch someone else take up the role: “When my daughter first saw Gal as Wonder Woman, she said, ‘Mom, I finally get it. I finally understand why everyone idolizes you. I finally get what Wonder Woman means to everyone.’ And that’s my daughter! That’s my flesh and blood. So, thank you, Gal. Thank you, [director] Patty [Jenkins].”
She Preferred It More Colorful And Vivid
She Hated How They Sexualized Her
A lot of fans were attracted to Lynda Carter in the role of the superheroine. However, the truth is that she did not appreciate all the focus on her looks. In 1980, she explained this in detail when she spoke to Us Weekly. Carter said, “I never meant to be a sexual object for anyone but my husband.”
She Hated How They Sexualized Her
The Actress Put Up With A Lot
“I never thought a picture of my body would be tacked up in men’s bathrooms,” she explained, “I hate men looking at me and thinking what they think. And I know what they think. They write and tell me.” What is worse that there was a time she discovered a peephole in the dressing room. The person behind this was fired. In 2018, Lynda Carter reflected on all the sexual harassment she experienced as an actress. She shared this with The Daily Beast in light of the #MeToo movement: “I fended off my share [of unwanted attention, and] I’ve been afraid. [But] if a man tried something, I would say, ‘Are you kidding me?’… We were women’s lib, burn the bra. We weren’t going to take any **** from people.”
The Actress Put Up With A Lot
Why Wonder Woman Wore A Helmet
There was also a “stunt suit” in the Wonder Woman closet. This was utilized when the character had to ride a motorcycle. It came with a pair of goggles and helmet, although Diana was basically invincible. How strange is that? However, there was actually a good reason for this. You see, they knew that children were watching the show. It would not do if she did not serve as a role model to them!

She Has To Be A Role Model
For the longest time, children’s safety groups have rallied for characters in movies and TV shows to don protective gear. This would hopefully encourage the young viewers to follow suit. That is why Diana is always careful when she gets behind both two wheels and four. Not only that, but she wears a helmet and arm pads while skateboarding too! What a cool fun fact.
She Has To Be A Role Model
Keeping A Couple Of Costumes
When you play such an iconic role, it must be natural to want to bring home a souvenir or two from the set. Lynda Carter is not an exception to the role. In 2016, the actress talked to Fox New about it. She said, “I happen to have one of the costumes from the [first season’s] ’40s [era] and one of them from the updated version… They’re falling apart in a closet somewhere.”
Keeping A Couple Of Costumes
She Is Willing To Donate Them
When Wonder Woman hit the theaters in 2017, Lynda Carter suggested that the new actress do the same thing. However, the actress is considering getting the keepsake out of her closet. During an interview with the Baltimore Sun, she was asked if she plans to donate her costume to a museum. She said, “If they help me restore one of them, I will certainly allow them to show it.” Aside from the actual costume itself, she took some of the accessories as well. In 2020, she took to Instagram to share, “For many years, Wonder Woman fans have asked, ‘Do you still have the bracelets?’… The answer is yes. I do have the bracelets, and wearing them still makes me feel like a total bad***!”
She Is Willing To Donate Them
The Bracelets Came With Pyrotechnics Inside
Each time the superheroine has to block a bullet, they had to use special effects to bring it to life. Mind you, the show was made before CGI became commonplace. The executives had to rely on technical wizardry to bring the effects to life. There were stars on the bracelets that were actually small pyrotechnics with attached wires. When they needed the sparks to fly, she just had to press a button!
The Bracelets Came With Pyrotechnics Inside
It Was Not Easy To Pull This Off
This method was not flawless, of course. For one thing, it was a little tricky to keep the remote control hidden. The most observant fans of the show might have noticed that there was something hidden away in the palm of the actress. The effect looked great, but you can just imagine how risky it was to do this.
It Was Not Easy To Pull This Off
She Does Not Find It Inherently Sexual
In 2016, the United Nations appointed Wonder Woman as an Honorary Ambassador. This news did not please certain people because they would rather have a real woman instead of a fictional character. That was not the only complaint people had about it. There was also the matter of how sexual she was. People deemed her too sexual to be a role model, which made Carter furious. “All this stuff about costumes – ‘Oh, it’s exploitive and blah, blah, blah.’ Give me a break. You can’t say that the sock in the pants of Superman wasn’t,” she shared with Entertainment Weekly.
She Does Not Find It Inherently Sexual
It Is The Female Body
After she told her critics to just “get over it,” she went on, “That’s a woman’s body. We are all that. We’ve always been that, but we’re also every other shape and color and size. It’s not our problem [what we look like], it’s yours. I am a woman. This is how I look. I’m smart, and I’m this and I’m that as well. I don’t understand the threat that women represent.” What an excellent point!
It Is The Female Body
Standing Up For Other People
In the past, she has taken a stand for people who wear costumes too. James Cameron once slammed the new version of Wonder Woman for wearing a “form-fitting” outfit with a “bustier.” Lynda Carter wrote a disgruntled message to the director, which she then posted on social media. What did she say?
Standing Up For Other People
She Addressed Him Directly
Lynda Carter addressed James Cameron directly when she made this Facebook post: “Perhaps you do not understand the character. I most certainly do. Your thuggish jabs at a brilliant director, Patty Jenkins, are ill-advised. This movie [Wonder Woman] was spot on. Gal Gadot was great. I know, Mr. Cameron – because I have embodied this character for more than 40 years.”
She Addressed Him Directly
Her Work Outside Of Wonder Woman
Even though Lynda Carter is best known for this role, she has appeared in other projects as well. She has done more TV work in the past and even worked as a voice actress in video games. Did you know that she has albums under her belt as well? When it comes to her personal life, she and her husband have two children together. We are sure that a lot of women are jealous of her daughter, Jessica. Many people would kill to inherit her good looks like the younger woman did!
Her Work Outside Of Wonder Woman
She Used To Be A Beauty Queen
Before the birth of her daughter, Lynda Carter first made a name for herself as a beauty queen. At the age of 21, she tried her luck in a beauty contest and brought home the crown. This victory made her the representative of the state of Arizona at the 1972 Miss World America pageant. In the same year, she was in the running for the international Miss World competition and made it to the semi-finals.
She Used To Be A Beauty Queen
Taking Hollywood By Storm
By doing this, she was one step closer to the world of acting. Lynda Carter got to make her debut on the small screen by appearing in Nakia. This opportunity allowed her to take on other bit roles here and there. Of course, we all know the role that defined her career. Executives initially assumed that a female superhero would not lure in the audiences, but they were thankfully proven wrong.
Taking Hollywood By Storm
Her Fame Spread Abroad Too
Lynda Carter was not only famous in the United States but also abroad! She was known for her beauty and portrayal of Wonder Woman. In 1978, the show was at its peak when the British Press Organisation and the International Academy of Beauty named her “the most beautiful woman in the world.”
Her Fame Spread Abroad Too
She Tried Her Hand In Music
What did Lynda Carter do after she became a household name? Apparently, she decided to dabble in the world of music. In 1978, the talented performer shared this with People: “People see me in a bathing suit every Friday night on TV, [but] I’m determined to make it on my talent – not my bosom. Singing is something I’ve been doing all my life, and I want people to know it.”
She Tried Her Hand In Music
How She Felt About The Attention
We already mentioned that she was conflicted about the attention that she received thanks to her good looks. The actress explained, “I wasn’t the beautiful blond cupcake when I was growing up. I’ve been skinny, and I’ve been heavy. I wear glasses. I’m a real person. I’ve learned how to look great without wearing any makeup except a little bit of blusher and some mascara.”
How She Felt About The Attention
For Her Husband And No One Else
In 1980, she expounded on this some more. She said, “I never meant to be a sexual object for anyone but my husband. I never thought a picture of my body would be tacked up in men’s bathrooms. I hate men looking at me and thinking what they think. And I know what they think. They write and tell me.”
For Her Husband And No One Else
Her Former Husband
Back then, Carter’s husband had been movie producer Ron Samuels. They had wed in 1977, when Carter was 25, but would ultimately part ways in 1982. And many years later, in December 2019, the actress said to Closer magazine of the marriage, “[Samuels] was a lot older [than me], and I was just stupid.”
Her Former Husband
Her Current Husband
After she got divorced from Samuels, Lynda Carter met a lawyer called Robert Altman. At the time, he was running a firm based in Washington, D.C. It did not take them long before they took things to the next level. In 1984, they became husband and wife. By then, she was getting fed up with all the fame.
Her Current Husband
Always The Talk Of The Town
Despite this, the press did not stop talking about her. In 1985, the Washington Post ran a feature on her second marriage. The article in question said, “She is tall, 5 feet, 9 inches, with generous bust and hips and small waist. Her features are prom queen pert, punctuated by masses of dark hair and huge, darkly outlined turquoise eyes. It’s easy to see how she won the part of Wonder Woman.”
Always The Talk Of The Town
They Had Dinner Together
When Robert Altman spoke to the newspaper, he said that he fell head over heels in love with her after he was asked to go to dinner with her. “I knew she was a good-looking actress who modeled for Maybelline, but I couldn’t quite place her… I thought the last thing I need is to go to dinner and get mixed up with some Hollywood actress,” he shared.
They Had Dinner Together
It Went Without A Hitch
The lawyer went on, “I went. I sat next to [Carter], and we hit it off immediately. There was a strong and immediate attraction – even to the point that we were so very interested in one another that it seemed rude to the rest of the table. After that, I was definitely interested in seeing her. She was beautiful and fascinating – not at all what I had anticipated.”
It Went Without A Hitch
She Took Him By Surprise
It turns out that she was nothing like what he had in mind. Robert Altman admitted, “I expected someone who was narcissistic, self-important and full of herself. But [Carter] is unpretentious, warm, funny and bright. I wanted to see her again.” At any rate, the lawyer said, “I had no notion at the time that it was going to end up in marriage. I probably would have said, ‘It will be fun. That’s it.’”
She Took Him By Surprise
Her Status As A Sex Symbol
When Lynda Carter talked to the Washington Post, she explained how she felt about singing and her status as a sex symbol. “I’ve never been va-va-voom. I’ve never felt that way on stage that I’m promoting sexuality. The dresses are cut that way, but my personality is not that way,” she explained.
Her Status As A Sex Symbol
She Just Wants To Perform
“I don’t want to alienate half the audience, which is female. You don’t have to play on it if it’s there visually… I’m not trying to turn anyone on. I’m just singing and dancing,” she said. The interviewer then asked Robert Altman if he ever felt like women were envious of her dazzling good looks.
She Just Wants To Perform
They Felt Envious Of Her
“Simply stated, yes. You can tell from the sideways glances, looking her up and down, [and] the little remarks that are made. It’s obvious there is a sense of envy,” he said. Did he feel jealous of other men? “It’s all pretty good-natured. Nothing goes beyond the bounds of propriety… Crowds take to her.”
They Felt Envious Of Her
Her Plans To Start A Family
It looks like Lynda Carter had more plans aside from acting on the stage and in front of the camera. In the interview, she shared, “I want to start a family. It’s time. I have the man I want. I have where I want to live. My brother and sister both have children. They started young. I’ve waited, and now it’s right.”
Her Plans To Start A Family
And So She Did That
And that was what she did. Lynda Carter and Robert Altman left the spotlight to start a new chapter of their lives. They had a big house built in Maryland and then had a baby boy called James in 1988. This was followed by a daughter called Jessica two years later. People wanted to know if she had regrets about this. Upon further reflection, the actress revealed that she did not.
And So She Did That
She Found What She Wanted
In 2017, Lynda Carter told People, “I spent a lot of time on movie sets – and that is being said in a way right now that I’m grateful for it — but I didn’t have a lot of substance in my life. I found that it was the person. It’s always the people in your life – the friends and family that you choose to spend time with.”
She Found What She Wanted
Taking Care Of The Kids
“It is every step you take that is the more difficult step in taking care of your children. The easy way out often ends up being the hardest. I think that the intellectual pursuits in our family were much more the focus of our lives.” She added. Mind you, both of their children went on to be lawyers!
Taking Care Of The Kids
As Beautiful As Always
Lynda Carter might be a senior citizen now, but she still looks as beautiful as ever. She did get much help warding off signs of aging either. In 2018, she told Closer Weekly that she was nearly entirely natural. The only thing she ever got was “a little Botox.” She said, “I don’t think I’m ever going to go under the knife – I am what I am!”
As Beautiful As Always
Her Beauty Secrets
You might also want to know how she retained her good looks over the years. Fret not. In 2016, Lynda Carter shared her beauty secrets with W magazine. She first revealed what her mom taught her: “[My mother] said, ‘Do not go out in the sun. If you do, you’ll end up like a prune or an old leather purse.’ At the time, there was no sun protection, so she’d wear hats and put cream on her face. And she used to give herself a facial with egg whites. She had no wrinkles on her face, and her hands were always soft.”
Her Beauty Secrets
Staying Out Of The Sun
“I’ve stayed out of the sun, and I harp the same with my daughter,” she admitted. Aside from that, she said, “I have used Purpose soap for years and years and [did not wear] a lot of makeup. I would always use Coppertone For Faces Only on my hands when I drive and sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!”
Staying Out Of The Sun
About Her Iconic Role
Over the course of the interview, she was asked the reason Wonder Woman was “done up like a sex bomb” all the time. She answered, “Wonder Woman was totally not a predatory female. It’s not in her wheelhouse at all. And I never played Wonder Woman; I always played [her alter-ego] Diana Prince. I always played her, and that’s just what she wore.”
About Her Iconic Role
Her Character Is An Inspiration
In the end, it does not matter what her character looked like or wore. What matters is that Wonder Woman has inspired a lot of people. On the list, we have the daughter of the actress herself. In May 2020, Jessica talked to Forbes about her mother and their relationship. People were delighted to see just how much she looked like her mother. What else did she have to say about the famous Lynda Carter?
Her Character Is An Inspiration
They Look So Much Alike
The press had actually been talking about the resemblance for quite some time now. It was the talk of the town when the two ladies went to the premiere of Super Troopers 2 in 2018. Hollywood Life said that Lynda Carter “look[ed] gorgeous at a red carpet alongside her twin of a daughter.”
They Look So Much Alike
Where To Find The Similarities
You can see this in the cheekbones, the eyes, and the brown hair. Aside from her good looks, Jessica also inherited the work ethic of her mother. She earned a degree in law and psychology from the University of Michigan. After that, she snagged a job at a law firm called Gibson Dunn & Crutcher.
Where To Find The Similarities
Her Mother Always Inspires Her
“My mom inspires me daily,” Jessica admitted when she talked to Forbes. She said that when she was a little girl, she went through her mom’s closet and discovered the costume inside. After this, she “put on the Wonder Woman crown, bracelets and lasso of truth and started running around the house pretending to be a superhero.” How adorable is that?!
Her Mother Always Inspires Her
Also Interested In Music
Like Lynda Carter, the younger woman was also interested in music. “I have been singing for as long as I can remember. Whenever I would hear a song, I would immediately start singing and dancing around the kitchen,” she shared with Forbes. In fact, she has tried her luck in the music industry as well!
Also Interested In Music
Her Brother Is A Musician Too
She was not alone in this. Jessica explained, “Whenever our parents went out, [my brother and I] would be home practicing. [Then] as soon as they came home, we would take them to the living room and perform. Looking back, I am amazed at [my parents’] patience after a long day to sit and watch us.”
Her Brother Is A Musician Too
She Performed At The Kennedy Center
Lynda Carter has done more than that since then. When Jessica was still in law school, her mom asked her to sing at the Kennedy Center. “My mother assembled a band of some of the greatest musicians in the world who are in the hall of fame and are some of the most recorded artists in history, yet they welcomed me like family and imparted invaluable lessons about performing,” Jessica narrated.
She Performed At The Kennedy Center
Pursuing Her Two Passions In Life
After she took the bar exam, she made up her mind to pursue both her passions at once. “Why should I quit? Who determined that it was impossible to pursue music and law? Simply because I do not know someone who has followed this path, [it] does not mean that I can’t,” Jessica told Forbes.
Pursuing Her Two Passions In Life
A Matter Of Balance
Her first record is called “No Rules.” Let us find out why she called it that. “This EP started at the beginning of my legal career. I had to find a delicate balance between my responsibilities at my firm and my music. And throughout this process, I have discovered that, indeed, there are ‘no rules,’” she said.
A Matter Of Balance
It Was A Balancing Act
It is not easy to juggle two jobs at the same time, however. “I recently decided to leave my law firm to pursue music full time. I am tremendously grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a remarkable group of professionals, but [I] decided that I wanted to focus on a career in music,” she said.
It Was A Balancing Act
What Her Father Is Doing Now
We already know that her father was a lawyer himself. When asked about Robert Altman, she shared, “He practiced as an attorney in Washington, D.C. for more than 25 years. But 20 years ago, he decided to pursue an artistic business and establish what is now a leading video game company. I guess the creative gene runs deep.”
What Her Father Is Doing Now
She Is Passionate About The Law
Jessica is still passionate about the world of law. “I always knew I wanted to go to law school; I was just unsure where it would take me. My legal background has certainly helped me navigate the business side of music, but it has also instilled a certain kind of discipline that I rely on in pursuing music,” she said.
She Is Passionate About The Law
Her Love For It Is Evident
You can tell just how much she loves it. Jessica even told the magazine, “The thing I love about being a lawyer is the ability to help people. The intellectual nature of law has always appealed to me. But there is no comparison to being able to use your knowledge and particular skill set to help someone.”
Her Love For It Is Evident
The Perfect Person For The Role
On social media, people have floated the idea of having Jessica try her hand at playing Wonder Woman. It is true that this might not happen any time soon as Gal Gadot has recently brought the superheroine to life not that long ago. But who knows? Perhaps this might come true in the future.
The Perfect Person For The Role
Wonder Woman And The Actress
Right now, Lynda Carter is still clearly fascinated by the iconic character even though she has since left the role a long time ago. In 2019, she shared this at the preview of the Calgary Expo in 2019: “[Wonder Woman] could protect herself and protect the people she cared about – for the right reasons. That’s why I think one of the reasons why my depiction of her was lasting or enduring.”
Wonder Woman And The Actress
Perhaps In The Future
At the moment, neither Lynda Carter nor Jessica have been featured in any movies about Wonder Woman. However, the actress said that filmmaker Patty Jenkins is willing to make space for a cameo for her in the future. Let us keep our fingers crossed that her daughter would get the same opportunity if ever!
Perhaps In The Future
