I don't even know if there are any strong female role models out there for girls in this day and age. Judge Judy maybe? Lynda Carter was so down to earth and beautiful not to mention quietly ridding the world of evil doers...always wanted to be Wonder Woman! Yup, she got me through ages 10 and 11. I always looked up to Lynda Carter and Wonder Woman!
I read something atrocious like she didn't get along with Lyle Wagoner. I can't even imagine that. She always seemed to carry herself with such grace, and Lyle Wagoner always seemed like a cool guy as well. So glad they are rerunning Wonder Woman! It may seem dated but the show holds up well and I wonder what the screen adaptation will be like. No one could replace Lynda Carter...those days are over and done.
