Trivia

In late 2005, Lynda Carter took the role of Matron Mama Morton in the West End production of Chicago. (edit)
After returning to the screen with "Sky High" and "The Dukes of Hazzard" and then doing TV guest appearances on shows such as "Law and Order: SVU" as well as "Smallville," Ms. Carter returned to stage work May 1, 2007 when she headlined "An Intimate Evening with Lynda Carter" at the Empire Plush Room at the York Hotel in San Francisco. (edit)
Lynda attended every day of the BCCI scandal trial of her husband Robert Altman and his law partner, Clark Clifford. (edit)
Lynda's favorite song, the one she used to close all of her TV Specials, was Always, by Irving Berlin. (Berlin had written the song for his wife and presented it her the day of their marriage.) The lyrics to that song are:

I'll be loving you Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.

Always.

Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.

I'll be loving you, oh Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.

Always.

Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.

Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.
(edit)
Lynda gave her son his middle name from a close family friend, former Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford, who was best man at Lynda's wedding to second husband Robert Altman. (edit)

Lynda Carter: Mexican food is my weakness. Thank God I live in Washington where it's horrible. They put in some tomatoes and bell peppers and call it salsa! (edit)
Lynda Carter: (Regarding life before Wonder Woman) To tell you the truth, I couldn't pay my next month's rent when I got the part. I was thrilled to have a pilot of my own. (edit)
Lynda Carter: (On updating the Wonder Woman TV series from World War II to the 1970's) I think they (CBS) wanted to retool it and modernize it when they bought it, so they weren't just buying the same show. (edit)
Lynda Carter: (Regarding her work in the Wonder Woman TV series) I think I was much better in the part when it was modernized. The series matured as it went along. (edit)
Lynda Carter: (On bringing Wonder Woman to life) I tried to play her like a regular woman who just happend to have superhuman powers. I figured she'd lived with it every day of her life. (edit)
