Lynda Carter Is Worth More Than You Think

As Variety reported at the time, 2018 saw Lynda Carter receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. "I guess if there's ever a role that was meant for me, it was Wonder Woman," Carter admitted. The actress and singer is a staunch anti-bullying campaigner and, just like Wonder Woman's alter ego Diana Prince, Carter leads with her words rather than her fists. She took huge inspiration from her most famous character, however the icon clarified she "never played Wonder Woman. I always played Diana."

A proud feminist and LGBTQ rights advocate, who's served as grand marshal of several Pride parades, Carter revealed she got her moxie from her own mother and the other women who paved the way. In particular, those who worked in factories during WWII. The Wonder Woman star explained, "They felt so empowered that they could not only contribute to the safety of our nation, but they had a voice with their person and their hands in a physical way. Everyone had a part."
