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.

Julie Anne Haddock (Actor) .. Tina

Trivia: Actress Julie Anne Haddock enjoyed a brief run of fame in the mid- to late '70s, making her presence known on television and in feature films. She began her acting career with a tenure NBC's family-oriented seriocomedy Mulligan's Stew, as one of several children in the overcrowded Mulligan household, but that program bowed two months after it debuted in October 1977, when it failed to connect with an audience. Haddock found greater success as the cute but tomboyish Cindy Webster on the first season of the NBC prep school sitcom The Facts of Life, and in the meantime branched out into supporting roles in feature films, with parts in the earnest Robert Duvall drama The Great Santini (1979) and the lackluster all-star comedy Scavenger Hunt (1979). Following those assignments, however, Haddock permanently bowed out of acting; she later settled in Southern California and raised a family there.

Harry Guardino (Actor) .. Penrose

Born: December 23, 1925
Died: July 17, 1995

Trivia: Street-smart leading actor Harry Guardino entered films in 1952 after several years of knocking around the New York stages. The best of his early film roles was Cary Grant's comic handyman in 1958's Houseboat. Guardino worked extensively in European productions in the 1960s, playing such parts as Barabbas in 1961's King of Kings. Among Harry Guardino's many TV assignments were the title role in the 1964 New York-based series The Reporter and the "Bogart/Bond" hero on the syndicated 1971 weekly Monty Nash. He made his final film appearance in Fist of Honor (1991).

Allan Arbus (Actor) .. Bleaker

Married to famed photographer Diane Arbus, the pair built up an extensive business in the late 1940s and early 1950s, shooting artwork for fashion magazines like Glamour and Vogue. After the pair divorced, Arbus moved to California to try his hand at acting. He quickly won roles in two Robert Downey Sr. films, Putney Swope (1969) and Greaser's Palace (1972). Soon after, he landed his most memorable role, Major Sidney Freedman, the psychiatrist on-duty at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, on M*A*S*H. Arbus was never a regular cast member, only appearing as a recurring guest star, which left him free to pursue other projects, frequently appearing as a guest star on a number of TV shows like The Odd Couple, Taxi and Starsky and Hutch. His final on-screen appearance was in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm in 2000. Arbus passed away in 2013 at age 95.
