Wonder Woman - "The Starships Are Coming" - 11:00 am Saturday, October 25 on WWOR Heroes & Icons

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.

Andrew Duggan (Actor) .. Mason Steele

Born: December 28, 1923
Died: May 15, 1988
Birthplace: Franklin, Indiana

Trivia: Born in Indiana and raised in Texas, Andrew Duggan attended Indiana University on a speech and drama scholarship. He was starred there in Maxwell Anderson's The Eve of St. Mark, which was being given a nonprofessional pre-Broadway tryout; on the basis of this performance, Duggan was cast in the professional Chicago company of the Anderson play. Before rehearsals could start, however, Duggan was drafted into the army. After wartime service, Duggan began his acting career all over again, working at his uncle's Indiana farm in-between Broadway and stock engagements. In Hollywood in the late 1950s, Duggan was co-starred in the Warner Bros. TV series Bourbon Street Beat and was featured in such films as The Bravados (1958), Seven Days in May (1964) and In Like Flint (1967). He also was starred on the 1962 TV sitcom Room for One More and the 1968 video western Lancer. Because of his marked resemblance to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Duggan was frequently cast as generals and U.S. presidents. Andrew Duggan's last screen appearance was in The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover.

Jeffrey Byron (Actor) .. Henry Wilson

Born: November 28, 1955
Birthplace: U.S.

Tim O'connor (Actor) .. Col. Robert Elliott

Born: July 03, 1927
Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois

Trivia: American general purpose actor Tim O'Connor gained television fame for his portrayal of a character who was talked about but unseen for nearly half a television season. 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).

David White (Actor) .. General

Died: November 27, 1990
Birthplace: Denver, Colorado, United States

White died of a heart attack in 1990. He was married to actress Mary Welch.

James Coleman (Actor) .. Aide

Sheryl Lee Ralph (Actor) .. Bobbie

Lilibet Stern (Actor) .. Mary Lou

Doris Dowling (Actor) .. Mrs. Wilson

Born: May 15, 1923
Died: June 18, 2004

Trivia: The older sister of Hollywood leading lady Constance Dowling, American actress Doris Dowling began making films in the mid '40s. Not a classic beauty in the movie sense, Dowling had a cosmopolitan attractiveness that made her useful in "this girl is trouble!" roles. Her best part was as Ray Milland's saloon pickup and erstwhile drinking companion in The Lost Weekend (1945). In The Blue Dahlia (1946), she dispensed truculence to screen husband Alan Ladd and everyone else around her for a full reel before being bumped off by a mystery killer. Not interested in continuing in such unsympathetic parts, Doris left for Italy in 1948 to appear in such neorealistic films as Bitter Rice (1948) and in such Rennaissance-drenched pieces as Orson Welles' Othello (1951), in which she played Bianca. Doris Dowling remained in European picture-making until her retirement in the late '50s.

Mario Machado (Actor) .. Reporter

Born: April 22, 1935

Jack Kissell (Actor) .. Alien

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

Born: April 13, 1935
Died: March 17, 2020
Birthplace: Kansas City, Kansas, United States

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.
