Lynda Carter, born July 24, 1951, in Phoenix, Arizona, grew up in a richly blended family and showed a love for performing from an early age. Before Hollywood ever called, she was a full-time musician, touring the country with bands like The Relatives and The Garfin Gathering—years she credits with shaping her artistic identity.
Her big break arrived in 1972 when she was crowned Miss World USA, a win that opened doors in entertainment. Soon after, Carter secured the role that made her a pop-culture icon: Wonder Woman. Her portrayal became legendary, cementing her status as one of television’s most unforgettable heroines.
