Wonder Woman Lynda Carter: Then And Now

The United Nations is enlisting the super-powers of Wonder Woman for a new campaign to empower women and girls.

The comic and television series heroine will be officially designated as the UN honorary ambassador for the empowerment of women and girls during a ceremony attended by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on October 21.

The ceremony will launch a year-long campaign on gender equality and women’s empowerment, which is one of the UN’s new global goals for the next 15 years.

DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson will attend along with some “surprise guests” — our guess is actress Lynda Carter who portrayed Wonder Woman in the hit TV series in the 1970s.

It has been over 40 years since she first graced our screens as the leggy caped crusader, but whatever happened to Lynda Carter?

Following a string of TV series/movies and a brief music career, Lynda went on to create her own production company, Potomac Productions, before adding voiceover artist to her résumé.

Later Lynda appeared in her first major feature film thanks to the big-screen remake of The Dukes of Hazzard, alongside the likes of Burt Reynolds and Johnny Knoxville.

Now aged 65, Lynda is looking more youthful than ever...
