Lynda Carter (Actor) .. Yeoman Diana Prince/Wonder Woman

Born: July 24, 1951
Birthplace: Phoenix, Arizona, United States

Trivia: The epitome of the word "statuesque," brunette, big blue-eyed, and 6' tall Lynda Carter was once considered one of the most beautiful women in the western world. Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Carter's height caused considerable awkwardness in high school. Friends encouraged her to become a performer; she began studying voice and by the time she graduated, she was named her school's most talented student. She briefly attended Arizona State University, but dropped out to become a professional singer and tour the country with several rock groups. By 1972, Carter had returned home and entered a local beauty pageant. She won and went on to win the title of Miss World-USA. After that, Carter studied acting in New York. She started her career in television making guest appearances on such shows as Starsky and Hutch, but Carter did not become famous until winning the title role of Wonder Woman in 1975. The Wonder Woman shows originally started out as specials on the ABC network, but by 1976 had been turned into a series. The network canceled the show after one season and it was picked up by CBS and aired there for a few years. When the series ended, she had a somewhat successful career as a Las Vegas entertainer. She also continues to occasionally appear in television movies and as a series guest star.

Lyle Waggoner (Actor) .. Maj. Steve Trevor/Steve Trevor Jr.

Trivia: Tall, dark-haired, and ruggedly handsome, Lyle Waggoner is best known for being the announcer and later a regular skit player on The Carol Burnett Show from 1967 to 1974. Waggoner then went on to play Steve Trevor in The New Adventures of Wonder Woman (1975). Prior to his television work, Waggoner made his feature film debut with a bit part in Women of the Prehistoric Planet (1966). With looks to spare, he good-naturedly posed in the altogether for Playgirl magazine in the mid-'70s. After Wonder Woman was canceled, Waggoner only occasionally appeared in television movies and even less frequently in feature films.

In 1965, O'Connor walked purposefully onto the set of Peyton Place, and into the role of Constance MacKenzie's long-lost husband Elliot Carson. His later TV-series assignments included Hub Hewitson in the 1979 miniseries Wheels and Dr. Huer during the first (1979-80) season of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. In films since 1970, Tim O'Connor has played reserved white-collar types in such productions as Groundstar Conspiracy (1972), Across 110th Street (1972) and Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991).
