Talk:Lynda Carter

Playboy
I recently read that Lynda had posed for PlayBoy magazine in 1976 and ABC stopped the pictorial from going to press as they felt they might have a family hit in WonderWoman. I wish I could see those negatives-DAMN!!!206.222.198.12 (talk) 21:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC) Lusty not Rusty4 Lynda Isnt she currently married to a guy who works at Bethesda software?

I know that she did the voices of the Nord women in The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind and is again doing the voices for the sequel The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion ...link: http://www.bethsoft.com/news/pressrelease_081705.htm

Yeah. His name is Robert Altman. He used to be a Washington D.C. lawyer but fell into the software market. I think that's how Lynda got the computer game gigs. Artemisboy 17:27, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I seriously doubt she posed or considered posing for Playboy. Despite the skimpy WW outfit, Lynda Carter has a reputation for being quite conservative and religious, even back in the day. She and her husband have been active in Republican politics. I remember her very well appearing on stage in 1980 with some celebs for Ronald Reagan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.130.104 (talk) 12:15, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about past events, but at all the current appearances Lynda makes she is very vocal about her Democratic ties and is a vocal Pro-Choice supporter. As for the nude layout, yes and no. Lynda never posed for the real Playboy magazine but instead starred in a TV movie called "Posing" in which she played a middle aged mother who decides to pose for Playboy magazine. She did, however, appear in a copy of Hustler magazine when the publishers discovered that she did a topless scene in the film Bobby Jo and the Outlaw. They published stills of the film for the magazine and plastered Lynda in the Wonder Woman costume on the cover. Artemisboy (talk) 19:18, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Correct birthplace
I'd like the article to be accurate on Miss Carter's place of birth. These three sources... ... say it was Phoenix&mdash;as do numerous other sources. Now AzHistGuy says the lady was born in Globe. Finally, an article in Mujer says she has childhood memories of Globe but was born in "Miam, Arizona," which I'm guessing is a typo referring to Miami, Arizona, which according to is a small town between Phoenix and Globe. If I were a betting man I'd say her parents lived in Miami, little Linda was born in a hospital in Phoenix, then later she grew up in Globe. In any event I'm inclined to revert the article to say Miss Carter was born in Phoenix because that's verifiable & citable, but I'll wait to see if AzHistGuy or someone else can supply a source to the contrary. A great lady deserves a well-researched and cited article! Thanks. -- Muffuletta 07:06, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Alcoholic
Why is there nothing in here about her alcoholism? --Blue Tie 04:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Seems to me people respected Mrs. Carter-Altman a great deal, and not want to mention, Lynda's great pain of her Husband so-called federal fraud banking crime. I heard, Lynda fall apart after the trial was over. She went straight to the bottle--, where she spine downward  for ten years. Finally, she got the help and love of her family and friends, and went to an AA meetings. So far, she's sober and haven't been a sloppy drunk for past 10 years. She's married to the same man for 25 years!! Wow, Lynda survived many storms. She came out smelling like rose. She's a true WONDER WOMAN!

Singing
Wasn't she discovered as a singer? I have an LP that portrays a teen-aged Lynda hopping a train with Michel Rubini. She's a wonderful talent. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6238/6252606933_414a5244f6.jpg is my copy of the LP - Sparky (talk) 06:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

 * She definitely pass for one. If she was born and raised in Mexico she would be viewed as an upper-class Mexican just by sheer appearance and pale skin. There are several million Mexican nationals who have predominantly European ancestry, but that doesn't change the fact that they're Mexican. Growing up in Arizona, I'm sure other Whites viewed her as White and since she carried her father's Scots-Irish surname she can be viewed as Anglo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.157.17.126 (talk) 16:13, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Picture
Why is there such an unflattering image of a woman who was so beautiful? Is it really impossible to use a better photo? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.145.49.221 (talk) 05:48, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Ditto...--Webwizard (talk) 18:46, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Logic suggests that it is because it is the photo that WP has full rights to use. If you would like to take her photo and sign over rights to WP, you would be more than welcome to use that photo at the site. Taram (talk) 19:47, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Other work
Removed factually incorrect statement: "Carter never returned to her role of Wonder Woman for television films or theatrical films throughout the 1980s due to becoming a celebrity promotional model for Maybelline cosmetics and starring in TV Series Partners in Crime." Two reasons: 1. There WAS no Wonder Woman to "return to" as it had been axed in 1980 (see my ref Intimate Portrait), and 2. Subsequently, her next acting job was in Partners in Crime as she was now available due to the cancellation of Wonder Woman, and 3. the modelling work for Maybelline was well before Wonder Woman ended: 1977.Romanmosaic (talk) 13:15, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Wonder Woman subsection
Is may just be me, but the first paragraph under this subheader seems oddly written and a bit unnecessary/out of place. Even if at most it could be parred down substantially and moved somewhere else; the second paragraph ("Carter's acting career...") would be a better start. Something as simple as "Carter's career took off when she took on the iconic role of Wonder Woman/Diana Prince..." would flow better, without all the info about WW's development and different aliases. This is Carter's page, after all, not Wonder Woman's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KatieTJF (talk • contribs) 02:53, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Height doesn't match
It says her height is 5'10" but also 180.34 cm, which is exactly 5'11". So which is it? After a quick googling it seems like 5'10" (178 cm) is the correct height. --80.68.228.217 (talk) 19:07, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Photos
I see the article currently has two photos of Carter as Wonder Woman (a black & white version in the infobox, and a color version in the article). Should we instead have a more current photo in the infobox? GoingBatty (talk) 15:23, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

The date on the main photo says it's from 2012. That photo appears on the inside cover of her album Crazy Little Things released April 19, 2011. MCMCTT (talk) 16:26, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
