Biography of Lynda Carter

Lynda Carter was born on July 24, 1951, in Phoenix, Arizona, the USA as Linda Jean Cordova Carter. She is an actress, known for Wonder Woman, Sky High, and The Dukes of Hazzard. She has been married to Robert Altman since January 29, 1984. They have two children. She was previously married to Ron Samuels.

Performed in a band during high school called 'Just Us', which consisted of a marimba, a congo drum, an acoustic guitar, and a stand-up bass played by another girl. When she was 17, she joined another band for more exposure called 'The Relatives' which opened at the Sahara Hotel casino lounge in Las Vegas for three months. Because Lynda was under 21, she had to enter the casino through the kitchen.

In 1970, she joined the last band she sang with, called 'The Garfin Gathering with Lynda Carter', and their first performance was in a brand new San Francisco hotel that had no sidewalk entrance built yet, so they played to mostly the janitors and whatever hotel guests parked their cars in the underground garage. But she performed so well under such intimidating circumstances, that Howard "Speedy" Garfin nicknamed Lynda, "Wonder Woman!".
