Lynda Carter, a Real-Life Wonder Woman

Turning into an Icon

Lynda Carter’s performance as Diana Prince, coupled with her comics-accurate costume and the show’s catchy theme song, quickly turned her into an icon that soon surpassed even the classic comics themselves. By the show’s second season, when people said “Wonder Woman,” the image that they conjured wasn’t that of a comics illustration, but rather, that of Lynda Carter in her red, white and blue outfit, flying her invisible plane.

The Spin

Lynda Carter’s contribution to the Wonder Woman show wasn’t just limited to her depiction of the character on screen. In fact, one of Wonder Woman’s most iconic moves is credited entirely to Carter.

The show’s producers were trying to come up with a way for Diana to transform into her Wonder Woman outfit, similar to Superman’s phonebooth transformation sequence, when Lynda suggested she spin around in her “civilian” clothes, and have the camera crossfade to her spinning around in her Wonder Woman outfit.
