We’re just a few weeks away from watching Gal Gadot<\/a> take center stage as Wonder Woman in the Amazonian Warrior’s first solo, live-action major motion picture! I expect she’ll be great in the part.<\/p>\n

But I also expect Lynda Carter<\/a> will forever embody Wonder Woman in most people’s minds.<\/p>\n

Carter – a singer (from age five), actor, and former Miss World USA (1972) – won the role, over 2,000 other hopefuls, of comic books’ first major female superhero in 1976. The Adventures of Wonder Woman<\/em> ran on ABC for a single season of 13 episodes, set during World War II. The show then flew to CBS to become The New Adventures of Wonder Woman<\/em> for two seasons; these stories were set in the 1970s. But whether fighting Nazis or a telepathic disco dancer, Princess Diana from Paradise Island could be counted on to “get us out from under,” as the series’ irresistible theme song sang.<\/p>\n
