Wonder Woman in the Flesh: The Untold Story of Lynda Carter
From Linda to Lynda
When you ask people who watched Wonder Woman during the 70s and even during the reruns later on, and ask them to spell the actress’ name, they would give you ‘Linda’. Because that is how it is usually spelled. That would actually be the actress’ birth name, her full name being Linda Jean Córdova Carter, but her chosen screen name is really Lynda Carter. Apparently the actress wanted to have a unique name, but not by changing it entirely, just by spelling it with a ‘y’ instead of an ‘i’. The more exotic spelling of her name, indeed brought her fame and fortune.
