Lynda Carter, a Real-Life Wonder Woman

by Barbara

Sneaking Into Casinos

Lynda, together with The Relatives, did quite well for a band that was just starting out.

She soon went from earning a meagre salary in her uncle’s diner to making $50 a night, just for singing. But while her band was highly requested, and even landed a coveted three-month long residency at the Sahara Hotel and Casino lounge in Las Vegas, Lynda herself was not yet 18 – and was years away from the required age limit of 21.

While her band was a popular opening act, Carter couldn’t enter the Casino she was working for, at least not through the front door. To avoid illegally walking through the gambling floor, she had to be snuck in through the kitchen.

Doing Well in School

Although Carter had chosen to leave home in order to perform with The Relatives, she didn’t neglect her schoolwork. Carter was a diligent student, and even with her Las Vegas shows, managed to earn an academic scholarship at Arizona State University. She was voted “Most Talented” in her high school yearbook, and after graduating, set off for college.

But this was not going to last.
