LYNDA CARTER – 68 YEARS OLD

Lynda Carter once portrayed Wonder Woman, and she played the role to perfection in the ‘70s and remains closely associated with it despite having retired the title decades ago. Before donning Wonder Woman’s iconic costume, the actress was competing in pageants even going on to be voted as the most beautiful woman in the world. Her story hit a roadblock, however, when she was derailed due to substance abuse and spent many years in different rehab centers. These days, she speaks openly about the degree of change she experienced after recovering. Truly, a role model for people everywhere.

When Lynda Carter was in school at Arizona State University, she chose to drop out of school and pursue her music career after she was rated as “Most Talented”. Lynda Carter’s choice of music also originated from her teenage years. She once joined a band with her two cousins, and the band performed in a hotel and casino in Las Vegas for three months.
