The series, launched during the women\u2019s liberation movement, made Carter a role model for generations of girls and one of television\u2019s most recognizable stars.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"378\" data-end=\"848\">Born in 1951 in Phoenix, Arizona, Carter began as a singer, later winning Miss USA in 1972 before turning to acting. After struggling for work and nearly running out of money, her life changed when she landed the lead role of Wonder Woman, a character she brought to life with strength, grace, and humor. Despite early resistance from producers, Carter insisted on respect for women, even pushing for female stunt doubles and embracing the show\u2019s message of empowerment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"1131\">The series ran from 1975 to 1979 and made Carter a global star, inspiring women while cementing her status as a beauty icon. After <em data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"995\">Wonder Woman<\/em>, she continued acting, launched a production company, appeared in films and theater, and remained closely tied to the superhero legacy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1133\" data-end=\"1460\">Carter later stepped away from Hollywood to raise her two children after marrying attorney Robert A. Altman. She returned to public life over the years while remaining an advocate for women\u2019s empowerment. Widowed in 2021, she has also spoken openly about overcoming alcoholism and now celebrates more than 20 years of sobriety.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1601\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Now in her 70s, Lynda Carter remains active, admired for her enduring grace, strength, and the powerful legacy she created as Wonder Woman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-7\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CIWY5qmp7n9\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1400&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fen.newsner.com&amp;rp=%2Fcelebrity%2Fpioneers-of-television-how-lynda-carter-broke-all-barriers-this-is-her-today%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawOvsNVleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFRcHdkeEhnWWlGWFB2ak1Zc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHrE_T1#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A8610.799999713898%7D\" height=\"970\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-7\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Female action heroes were rare in the 1970s, which is why Lynda Carter became an icon when she starred as Wonder Woman in 1975.
